At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help supercharge developers to build better, faster. Sonar helps to continuously improve code quality and code security while reducing developer toil. This means that developers can focus on doing more of what they love and less of what they don’t.

The Impact You Will Have:

Join us in shaping the future of SonarQube and empower over 10 million developers worldwide to write cleaner, more secure code.

• Experience with databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and writing efficient SQL queries.
• Commitment to code quality, with hands-on experience in automated testing and CI/CD practices.
• Growth mindset and experience in mentoring, coaching, and elevating your teammates.
• Proactive problem-solving attitude, taking ownership of initiatives and driving them to completion.
• You take full responsibility for complex challenges, driving solutions from inception to production and validating them with customer feedback.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, tackling complexity with a structured and solution-oriented mindset.
• You validate assumptions, establish facts to guide better decisions, and proactively seek and provide feedback for growth.
• You tailor your message to your audience, inspire commitment, prioritize impact, and drive efficiency in collaboration.
  
  

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!).
• Great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly while still being passionate leaders in our domains.
• We have a flexible work policy that includes 3 days in-office and 2 days work-from-home each week for those located near our office locations; some locations such as Dubai, India, Japan and Australia operate fully remotely.
• We have a growth mindset. We love learning and believe continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are necessary, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.
• As the leader in our field, our products and services are as strong as our internal team members.
• We embrace transparency with regular meetings, cascading messages and updates on the growth and success of our organization.
