À propos de cette offre

Who is Sonar?

Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code verification and governance, we solve a critical problem: ensuring that software generated by AI-assisted developers or autonomous agents is reliable, secure, and maintainable.

Integrating seamlessly with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, and Devin, we help over 75% of the Fortune 100 build trusted, reliable, compliant software. Customers who use Sonar are 44% less likely to report an outage due to AI-generated code.

We believe code verification is the critical missing link in the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC). Industry giants like Nvidia, ServiceNow, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company count on us to provide independent, explainable, consistent review and governance of their AI-generated code via products like:

• SonarQube: The world’s leading AI code review and verification platform.
• SonarQube Foundation Agent: Currently topping the leaderboards for agentic software repair.
• SonarSweep & Sonar Context Augmentation: Providing the enterprise-grade context and constraints agents need to be truly effective.

Our team operates across global hubs in Austin, Bochum, Dubai, Geneva, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Washington D.C. We move with a mindset we call CODE:

• Committed to our customers and community.
• Obsessed with quality.
• Deliberate in our decisions.
• Effective as one team.

With over $400M in revenue and profitable, fast-paced growth, we are building the backbone of the AI software revolution. If you’re hungry to have an impact, want to build at a fast pace, and ready to work at the forefront of AI, we want to hear from you.

• Collaborate with UX designers, Product Management, and engineering teams to deliver robust security features alongside an optimal user experience.

• Take strong ownership of squad deliverables and effectively drive sprints toward successful completion.

• Architect and guide the design of our on-premises and AWS cloud applications.

• Oversee feature deployment, production monitoring, and troubleshoot team-specific live issues.

• Mentor engineering team members to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers to their autonomy.

• Contribute to the definition of the team’s short and long-term goals.

• Over 8 years of software engineering experience, including working as a Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Software Architect.

• Proven ability to take initiative and bring a subject involving several stakeholders and engineers to completion with little to no supervision. 

• Experience supporting and mentoring other team members.

• Proficiency with Java coupled with a strong passion for Clean Code and rigorous software quality standards.

• Experience architecting cloud-native applications.

• Experience with relational RDBMS (such as Postgres) and SQL.

• Domain expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM), including hands-on experience with AuthN/AuthZ protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, JWT) and user provisioning (SCIM).

• Proficiency in working with and steering AI coding tools (Codex, Claude, etc).

In-office culture

We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having. 

Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted  — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.
