Job description

Who is Sonar?

Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code review and verification, 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.

Position description

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 Sonar Solutions Engineering team is dedicated to helping our prospective customers achieve technical success with our products. This is your chance to join a growing team as we scale up our efforts to have maximum impact on our targeted customer base.

As a Solutions Engineer at Sonar, you’ll play a central role in providing deep technical expertise to our prospects and supporting them in evaluating our solution. The SE team works as part of the Sales process and also engages with Marketing, Product Management, and Development teams to provide feedback on our products' evolution and messaging.

What you will do daily

• Help prospective customers understand how our Clean as You Code approach fits within their software development life cycle
• Drive technical aspects of pre-sales business opportunities by doing technical presentations and demonstrations and supporting product evaluations
• Advise customers on the best alignment of the Sonar solution with their favored deployment strategy
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical problems encountered by prospective customers evaluating our products
• Go beyond the sale to ensure successful product adoption and growth following purchase, working with our Customer Success and Support teams
• Help existing customers understand the additional capabilities of advanced product editions
• Provide technical enablement to channel partners to raise their level of service

Experience and qualifications

• Some practical experience in software development or DevOps engineering highly desirable
• Familiarity of both local and cloud-based software deployment platforms and technologies, including Linux, Windows, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure
• Passion for technology and successful customer outcomes
• Ability to dive into complex technical problems, perform troubleshooting, develop solutions, and articulate them in verbal and written form
• Proven ability to work in a team, receiving and giving feedback as well as sharing knowledge
• A can-do attitude: challenging the status quo, leading and contributing to key improvements and innovations
• Excellent presentation skills
• Excellent English, verbal/written communication skills

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.
