Senior Associate, Corporate Development

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 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 are ready to work at the forefront of AI, we want to hear from you.

As a Senior Associate, Corporate Development at Sonar, you will play a foundational role in shaping the company's growth strategy across M&A, strategic investments, and build/partner/buy decisions. Reporting to the VP, Corporate Development, you will be the primary engine for outbound sourcing, market mapping, and triage of M&A opportunities across the AI coding, developer tools, application security, and broader software development lifecycle (SDLC) ecosystem.

You will own day‑to‑day pipeline management and serve as the connective tissue between Sonar’s executive leadership, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Legal teams as we evaluate M&A opportunities. From first outreach through diligence and integration planning, you will help ensure Sonar evaluates the right opportunities, with the right rigor, at the right pace. This is a high‑visibility role designed to give an early‑career professional from venture capital, investment banking, or corporate development direct operating exposure at one of the most strategically positioned independent software companies in the AI era.
