Director, Global Head of Recruiting

Who is Sonar?

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, Git Hub 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, Service Now, , 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:

• Sonar Qube:
  The world’s leading AI code review and verification platform.
• Sonar Qube Foundation Agent:
  Currently topping the leaderboards for agentic software repair.
• Sonar Sweep & 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, San Mateo (California), 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 are ready to work at the forefront of AI, we want to hear from you.

Sonar is continuing to grow fast, and our ability to hire exceptional talent globally is core to that growth. We're looking for a Director, Head of Global Recruiting, based in our Austin, Texas HQ to lead the strategy, team, and systems behind talent acquisition worldwide. Reporting to the CHRO and working alongside our ELT, you'll lead a globally distributed recruiting team and partner with stakeholders in all our hubs from Singapore to Geneva.

This is a role that spans strategy all the way to execution — we need a leader who can set the vision for a world-class recruiting function while personally owning a req load and staying close to the work. You'll bring deep, hands-on experience modernizing how recruiting teams operate with the newest technologies — not just using AI tools, but having rebuilt recruiting processes around them, and a genuine passion and track record for building a successful recruiting operation as the foundation of a scalable, high-performing talent function.

• Lead and develop a high-performing, globally distributed recruiting team, while personally owning a req load and leading searches directly — modeling the standard you expect from the team
• Partner with stakeholders across every hub to ensure hiring strategy reflects the realities of each local market and business unit
• Own requisition administration and management, partnering closely with FP&A on headcount planning, budget tracking, and forecasting against approved plan
• Redesign and modernize recruiting processes and infrastructure, leveraging the newest technologies to fundamentally change how the TA function sources, assesses, and closes talent — not just layering AI tools onto existing workflows
• Build recruiting operations as a true foundation for the function: process design, data infrastructure, reporting cadence, and systems that let the team scale without breaking
• Lead full-cycle recruiting for a mix of highly technical engineering roles and high-growth B2B SaaS GTM roles, building…
