Sonar is committed to enabling developers and organizations to build better code for better software.

The Role

Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

The Impact You Will Have:

As the Chief Product Officer, you will be a pivotal member of our executive team, leading the entire Product organization. You will be responsible for defining and executing the long-term product vision and strategy that will drive Sonar's growth, market leadership, and mission to "supercharge developers." Your strategic leadership will ensure our products continue to solve the most critical code quality and security problems for developers and businesses globally, significantly impacting the company's trajectory and success.

What You Will Do Daily:

Set the Product Vision: Define and champion a clear, compelling product vision and strategy that aligns with Sonar's overall business objectives.
Lead and Mentor: Build, inspire, and manage a world-class Product Management team, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and user obsession.
Drive Strategic Initiatives: Oversee key strategic initiatives related to product development, go-to-market strategies, pricing, and packaging for all product lines.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with other C-level executives and senior leaders across engineering, marketing, sales, and customer success to ensure seamless product delivery and market success.
Champion the User: Deeply understand the needs of our users and the open-source community, using these insights to guide product decisions and maintain our market leadership.

The Experience You Will Need:

15+ years of combined experience in product management and senior leadership roles within a technology company, preferably with a strong background in DevOps, B2B SaaS or enterprise software.
Demonstrated success in defining and executing product strategy that has led to significant business growth.
Deep expertise in the software development lifecycle, with a passion for developer tools and the open-source community.
Exceptional strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
Proven leadership skills with the ability to build and scale high-performing, passionate teams.
Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with fluency in English.

Why you will love it here:

• Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.

• We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!

• We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).

• We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.

We prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

At Sonar, we are a global workforce and recognize the value of different backgrounds, and global cultures.

We are committed to creating a diverse work environment and are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the clear results of a comprehensive background check conducted prior to the start date.

Please note that applications submitted through agencies or third-party recruiters will not be considered.
