Why should I Apply:


At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.


We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.


The impact you will have  


Ask a friend or colleague developer about Sonar or SonarQube. They have heard from us and will likely use the products. This is how significant our impact on the tech industry is.


The UX craft has been gradually evolving at Sonar, and there is still much to do. In 2023, UX benchmarked a solid stage 3 of the NNG maturity model at Sonar, with a strong appetite to evolve from there in the next few years. We hold ourselves to high standards, and we are looking for invested, resilient, and humble professionals to join us for the journey ahead.


You know the nuances of Research, deliver with predictable cadency and you are making your first steps to coach others. You lead on specific topics, adopt standards and proactively raise topics. You will present solutions to problems and use your own creativity to find solutions. You will manage expectations clearly and set an example through your actions. You are expected to think proactively across the team and also engage colleagues outside the team when needed. You are flexible over fixed, collaborative over withdrawn, and willing to go the extra mile. You are expected to influence the overall agenda and definition of the working framework.


You will work in a tech-heavy environment with Engineers, UX Designers and Product

What We Do

Software-driven digital innovation is essential for competing in today's market, and the foundation of this innovation is code. However, there are widespread cracks in this foundation – lines of bad, insecure, and poorly written code – that manifests into tech debt, security incidents, and availability issues. With Sonar, developers and organizations are empowered to create quality, secure code confidently, whether written by humans or generated with AI.

The Sonar solution, SonarQube, helps prevent code quality and security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it—your internal team or genAI—resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable software.

At Sonar, we are driven by a deep belief in our people, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering dedication to delivery. We operate as a united group where our collective success is the sum of each individual's contributions. Our company culture is driven by the values of CODE: Committed, Obsessed, Deliberate & Effective. This mindset reflects our culture of creativity, collaboration, and pride in the work we do.

Rooted in the open-source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by 7M+ developers and 400K organizations worldwide, including the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T-Mobile.

Sonar is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland with additional offices in Austin, Texas; Annecy, France; Bochum, Germany, London, England; and Singapore. The company is rapidly growing with over 600 employees!
