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 worlds 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.

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.

Position descriptionWere looking for a Senior or Staff Technical Writer to join the Sonar documentation team. We want someone who thinks like a developer writes like a communicator and builds documentation the same way engineers build software.

Youll own developer-facing content across the Sonar Qube product suite: conceptual guides integration tutorials and release documentation. Youll work directly alongside engineers and PMs live in the same repos and PRs they do and be expected to catch a broken code sample the same way youd catch a grammatical error. Youll also shape how we think about documentation as a discipline owning tooling decisions defining style and structure and raising the bar for the whole team.

As a Software Technical Writer you will own developer-facing content across the Sonar Qube product suite. Your work will directly shape how practitioners using Sonar products including developers Dev Ops and platform engineers approach code quality and security. You will be the trusted expert translating complex capabilities into practical knowledge. By crafting compelling hands-on educational content such as conceptual guides in-depth tutorials how-to-guides etc to help enable millions of practitioners to write high quality secure code.

You wont just explain features; you will define the developers journey with our products establishing Sonar as an essential part of their Agentic SDLC workflow. Youll also shape how we think about documentation as a discipline. You will influence tooling decisions help define style and structure and raise the bar for the whole team.

What you will do

• Plan write and maintain high-quality documentation for developer audiences: getting-started guides how-tos conceptual explanations and release notes

• Work in a docs-as-code workflow authoring in Markdown submitting PRs reviewing diffs and running docs through the same CI pipeline as code

• Use AI tools to accelerate research drafting and content auditing and take full ownership of the quality and accuracy of the output

• Collaborate with engineers to document new features accurately and on time often working from specs early builds and code review comments

• Verify and maintain code samples (in languages relevant to our integrations) to ensure they compile run and stay current with product changes

• Audit and improve existing documentation for accuracy completeness structure and voice

• Help evolve the teams style guide information architecture and content standards

• Mentor other writers and serve as a…
