Who is Sonar?

Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it — your internal team, genAI, or third parties — resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is trusted by +7M developers worldwide, including teams at the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T-Mobile.

We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company, users, each other, and our open source community. We have high standards and hold each other accountable for acting with positivity, dedication, thoughtfulness, empathy, and passion daily.

We are deliberate with our decisions with high clarity of intention. At the same time, we feel extreme urgency and move forward quickly.

And lastly, we are highly effective and operationally efficient. We operate collectively as One Team to accomplish our goals.

At Sonar, CODE is more than just an acronym – it's a mindset that defines daily operations.

Why You Should Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help supercharge developers to build better, faster. Sonar helps to continuously improve code quality and code security while reducing developer toil. This means that developers can focus on doing more of what they love and less of what they don’t. Our solutions don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we help fix issues at the source – for all code, whether it's developer-written, AI-generated, or from third parties.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. Team members should be able 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: supercharge developers to build better, faster.

The Impact You Will Have:

You are the strategic foundation of our global recruiting success. As a proven expert in sourcing, you will be responsible for building robust, diverse, and high-quality talent pipelines for every recruiter across all our regions (Americas, EMEA, and APAC). Your exceptional craft will directly translate into reduced time-to-hire, enhanced talent quality, and a significant competitive advantage in critical markets. We have high expectations for this role, and your ability to deliver will be integral to scaling the organization alongside a wonderful team.

What You Will Do Daily:

Design and execute advanced, global sourcing strategies for highly niche and critical roles across all technical and non-technical functions.
Proactively build and nurture long-term talent pipelines for future hiring needs across multiple geographies, including the US, UK, EU/Switzerland, India, Australia, Singapore, Japan, and the UAE,
Serve as a subject matter expert on market intelligence, providing recruiters and hiring managers with data-driven insights on talent availability, compensation trends, and competitor activity.
Conduct in-depth competitive analysis and strategic mapping to identify and engage passive candidates in complex, low-visibility talent markets.
Craft and A/B test highly personalized outreach messaging that upholds our employer brand and drives high engagement rates from prospective candidates.
Partner with recruiters and hiring managers in joint kickoff meetings to ensure a deep understanding of role requirements, team culture, and the competitive landscape.

The Experience You Will Need:

Deep Sourcing Expertise: Proven track record of operating exclusively as a strategic senior sourcer, with a confirmed desire to stay in a sourcing scope for the foreseeable future (we’re not currently looking for someone who wants to transition into a full-cycle recruiting role)
Global Market Mastery: Extensive and demonstrated success sourcing candidates across major international hubs across AMER, EMEA and APAC
Broad Functional Coverage: Experience sourcing for a diverse set of roles, including both highly technical positions (e.g., Engineering, DevOps, Security, Data & AI) and critical non-technical functions (e.g., GTM, Finance, G&A).
Tool Proficiency: Expert-level mastery of advanced boolean search techniques, LinkedIn Recruiter, and CRM/ATS systems for talent pipelining and tracking (we use Lever).
Data-Driven Influence: Demonstrated ability to use market data, metrics, and funnel analysis to influence sourcing strategies and advise internal stakeholders on realistic timelines and challenges.

The Company

Year Founded: 2008

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. Our industry-leading platform, SonarQube, integrates code quality and code security analysis directly into the development workflow by automating reviews and providing actionable code intelligence for all code—first-party, AI-generated, third-party open source. \

For organizations, Sonar provides the critical SDLC governance and compliance reporting needed to de-risk AI adoption and manage standards at scale. We empower teams to "vibe, then verify" — innovating at the speed of AI without sacrificing the quality, security, or maintainability of their codebase.

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 and 400K organizations worldwide, including Barclays, MasterCard, and T-Mobile.

Sonar is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland with additional offices in Austin, Texas; Annecy, France; Bochum, Germany; London, England; and Singapore. The company is rapidly growing with over 750 employees!

Join us in our mission to solve the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code!
