Job Summary
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 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 worlds 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 youre 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.
Technical Solution Selling: Proactively removing technical blockers (Security Architecture Legal) using standardized repeatable processes to move the sales process forward whether the deal is $50K or $500K.
Coaching in the Field: Riding along on your teams calls and giving feedback specific enough to act on. Not that went well but you spent nine minutes on features the platform lead never asked about. Weekly 1:1s individual development plans and honest conversations about where people stand.
Hiring and Bar-Setting: Owning your requisitions end to end from screening through technical interview and close. You define what a Sonar SE looks like and you hold that bar including when the pipeline is thin and the pressure is on to settle.
Team Goal Attainment: Knowing where every meaningful opportunity in your teams portfolio stands where its stuck and what youre doing about it. Forecast accuracy and pipeline hygiene are yours.
SE-AE Partnership at Scale: Building the working relationships between your SEs and their AE counterparts and making sure that engagement is visible in Salesforce. If the team is doing the work but not logging it thats a coaching problem and its yours to solve.
Value Engineering: Roleplaying as a peer to Lead Engineers and DevOps Directors to articulate the technical risk of shipping AI-generated code without verification and teaching your team to run that same conversation.
Bionic SE Workflows: Leveraging AI to automate the creation of customer-facing content allowing you to handle a high volume of deals at pace then turning what works into something the whole team uses.
The Sales-First Mindset: You are driven by win rates and sales velocity; you view a long un-qualified technical evaluation as a failure not a project.
Developer DNA: Proven background as a Software Developer or extensive experience in the Developer Tools (DevTools) space; you can speak engineer-to-engineer with credibility and your team will respect you for it.
High-Scale Muscle Memory: Experience in a high-velocity environment where you have personally managed a double-digit load of active concurrent technical evaluations plus exposure to larger enterprise cycles.
Coaching Instinct With or Without the Title: You have formally managed SEs or you have been the person on the team everyone else learns from. We care more about evidence that people got better because of you than about the size of your last org.
Technical Slickness: Professional polish and executive presence; the ability to translate complex code-level issues into business-level ROI for non-technical stakeholders.
Operational Discipline: A self-driven attitude with a focus on Standardization over Customization to keep the revenue engine moving at speed and comfort making decisions from data rather than gut feel.
AI Power User: You actively use AI to re-engineer your technical sales workflow and you teach it. If it can be automated or prompted youve already done it.
Were 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 thats not where you are today were happy to support relocation for the right person.
