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, 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 such as:

• 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, 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.

As a member of one of our engineering teams, you'll be a key player in making Sonar Qube Cloud and Sonar Qube Server the best tools for Code Quality and Security, providing new features that help our users write better software. You will see your features come to life in production with short iteration loops. While keeping our roadmap and business priorities in mind, you will have a high impact on the software we own and develop.

• Lead and manage a team of Engineers (Cloud Engineers and Site Reliability Engineers), providing guidance, support, and mentorship to help individuals grow in autonomy and master the complexities of cloud operations.
• Hold yourself and your team accountable to high engineering standards, specifically focusing on system reliability, performance, and security.
• Manage the team’s operational workload, including on‑call health, incident response, and the reduction of manual toil through automation.
• Foster a safe culture of feedback and continuous improvement, encouraging post‑mortems and sharing architectural insights.
• Collaborate with other value stream squads to ensure the production platform meets the needs of our developers while maintaining strict governance.
• Communicate a clear vision for the squad that aligns with the platform engineering roadmap, focusing on resiliency, business continuity, and cost optimization.
• Partner with the hiring team to recruit talented engineers and improve the hiring process for the team.
• Lead by example, modeling behaviors of servant leadership and high‑stakes decision‑making.

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering with a significant focus on SRE, Cloud Operations, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Deep understanding of a Dev Ops/SRE mindset, including experience managing mission‑critical shared services (e.g., Aurora DBs, Open Search, Control Planes).
• Advanced knowledge of AWS (or similar) and experience managing organizational‑scale infrastructure (IAM, OUs, Account Vending).
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Python, CDK, Terraform) and rigorous code reviews for infra components.
• Proven ability to define observability patterns (logging, tracing, metrics) and design disaster recovery/ business continuity strategies.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and a strong understanding of cloud cost optimization (rightsizing, spot instances, reserved instances).
• Must be willing to work in Bochum, Germany. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.

• Pension Scheme: 1st Pillar (Unterstützungskasse):
  Automatic, financed by Sonar, 3% of gross salary.
• Pension Scheme: 2nd Pillar (bAV):
  Voluntary, 15% contribution by Sonar from social security savings.
• 28 PTO days for…
