Sonar enables organizations to ship agentic code with confidence. Code creation is abundant, but confidence is scarce. Our core platform, SonarQube, verifies over 750 billion lines of code every day, delivering agentic verification and governance for all code. Trusted by more than 7 million developers and 75% of the Fortune 100, including teams at Nvidia, ServiceNow, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company, Sonar enables organizations to reduce outages, improve security, and lower the cost and risk of agentic software development.
Founded in Geneva and now headquartered in Austin, Texas, Sonar has a global team working across offices and hubs, including Silicon Valley, London, Bochum, Barcelona, Singapore, Tokyo, and the Washington, D.C. area. At Sonar, we’re enabling enterprises to build agentic software factories that can move quickly while maintaining the control, consistency and evidence required to ship with confidence.
About the role
What you will do
- Pipeline Agency & Math: Taking full ownership of your revenue engine by managing 30–40+ active opportunities; you treat SDR support as a multiplier, not a crutch.
- Manufacturing Urgency: Proactively pivoting long-cycle enterprise "evaluations" into 30-day transactions by identifying high-stakes "Why Now" business drivers.
- SDR Partnership & Strategy: Collaborating with your SDR to map Tier 1 accounts, ensuring a relentless "hunter" mindset is applied to every target.
- Friction Removal: Navigating complex security and legal hurdles for deals using standardized processes to prevent cycle bloat.
- AI-Leveraged Execution: Using AI to re-engineer manual research and personalization tasks, allowing you to handle enterprise-level complexity at velocity.
Experience and qualifications
- Enterprise Pedigree: 8+ years selling technical solutions into large/global companies with a track record of navigating complex stakeholder maps.
- High-Volume Execution: Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced inside sales environment. You're just as comfortable closing a $50k deal as you are navigating a $150k, $250k, or $500k opportunity — and you know how to manage both motions without losing momentum on either end.
- Operational Discipline: Expert-level "pipeline math" fluency; you know your conversion ratios and take pride in a high-activity calendar.
- Resilience & "Slickness": A "closer" mindset that prioritizes momentum over nurturing, with the professional confidence to disqualify slow-moving leads.
- Digital Fluency: Advanced use of AI and modern sales tech to create leverage and speed in your daily workflow.
We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.
Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.

At Sonar, we believe that our diversity is our strength. We are a global company that values and respects different backgrounds, perspectives, and cultures.

Sonar Insights
What We Do
Sonar provides the essential verification layer for the AI-driven development era, ensuring all code—whether human-written or AI-generated—is code you can trust. Today, AI coding tools are generating explosive volumes of code. This has created an "engineering productivity paradox" : faster code writing doesn't automatically lead to faster, safer software delivery. The new bottleneck is verification. Sonar solves this. Integrating code quality and code security into a single platform (SonarQube), Sonar is the foundation for high performance software engineering, analyzing over 750 billion lines of code daily to ensure applications are secure, reliable, and maintainable. As an independent verification platform, Sonar enables organizations to securely develop at the speed of AI. We are driven by a deep belief in our people, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering dedication to delivery. We operate as a united group where our collective success is the sum of each individual's contributions. Our company culture is driven by the values of CODE: Committed, Obsessed, Deliberate & Effective. This mindset reflects our culture of creativity, collaboration, and pride in the work we do. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 35 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by 7M+ developers worldwide, including ServiceNow, Booking.com, Deutsche Bank, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company. Sonar is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland with additional offices in Austin, Texas; Bochum, Germany; London, Singapore, and Tokyo. The company is rapidly growing with over 800 employees! Join us in our mission to solve the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code!
