Software Engineer (Mobile Development)

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

The SonarSource Analysis Team is seeking a passionate versatile Software Engineer to contribute to our analyzers for the mobile domain.

The mobile analyzers are the analyzers for Kotlin, Swift, and Dart. They are designed to fulfill the needs of mobile developers on various technologies: spotting tricky code quality and security issues as fast as possible while generating as little noise as possible. You’ll be able to use your expertise to bring valuable rules for Code Quality and Security in the mobile applications domain: starting from style issues and up to complex security vulnerabilities.

Joining the Mobile Squad offers the ultimate challenge of analyzing modern languages having different ecosystems: Kotlin, Swift and Dart. Every day you’ll have an opportunity to learn something new and accept new challenges.

On a daily basis, you will

• Have strong ownership of the team’s work and lead the execution of its sprints to completion: do specifications, write code and tests, review code from peers, validate features, and follow up on user feedback after the release. As the domain is quite new for SonarSource, you’ll often participate in investigations, explorations, and designing “Proof-of-Concept”.
• Develop new and maintain existing features for the Kotlin, Swift, and Dart code analyzers.
• Dive deep into the Mobile domain languages and argue about the best guidelines to use them effectively.
• Evolve the way our analyzers understand code by creating better models and developing new rules on top of them.
• Interact with compiler front-ends for Kotlin, Swift and Dart and have the opportunity to contribute back to them.
• Provide mentorship to engineers to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers to their autonomy.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and peers to define new features and set priorities, ensuring that the solutions fit into the Sonar ecosystem.
• Coordinate with different stakeholders to define the team’s short and long-term goals.

The technical skills you will demonstrate

• 6+ years of experience as a software developer.
• Technical versatility and readiness to work on different technical stacks.
• Good knowledge of engineering processes.
• Excellent engineering skills and a good understanding of Computer Science fundamentals.
• You have experience supporting and mentoring other team members.
• Compiler frontend knowledge is not required; you will learn it while working at SonarSource.

The soft skills you will demonstrate

• Leadership: you’re able to take initiative and bring a subject to completion with little to no supervision.
• Ability to learn fast.
• Open-minded and very positive can-do attitude.
• Comfortable in dealing with change and complexity.
• Self-confident to challenge the status quo as well as to be challenged.

Why you will love it here:

• Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.

• We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!

• We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).

• We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.
