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.
We want to make the best decisions possible for our products and to do that, we need to make data-driven decisions.
To achieve this goal, we are looking for a talented Data Engineer - you! - to join the Data & ML Platform team.
Together, we will make Sonar’s products the undisputed world-leading code remediation solution!
What you will do
- Design and implement data storage, transformation, and load capabilities of our pipelines.
- Continuously enhance the data platform. Propose, implement and manage data handling services according to stakeholders needs (Product Managers, Marketing, Sales, engineering teams, ...)
- Establish top-class end-to-end pipelines including data cleaning and modelling.
- Develop and deploy connectors to data sources of interest.
- Maintain evergreen data flow documentation across systems.
- Collaborate on Data Governance with other stakeholders/domains.
- Work with the security function to ensure we adhere to expected security standards.
- Collaborate with the incident manager to bring your expertise when asked and own implementation of recommendations from post-mortems.
You will design and develop the data platform to support the functional domains in handling their data and help them in their journey to data ownership. This means:
Experience and qualifications
You have solid software engineering experience, focusing on developing data engineering pipelines and storage in the cloud. You have been exposed to big data architecture essentials, streaming, ETL batches, data store administration, …
You see yourself as a developer working on data. You are motivated by both technical and functional aspects of services.
You are a friendly, enthusiastic, and organized team player. You actively share your knowledge and give and receive feedback to improve the team and yourself.
Strong experience building end-to-end ETLT, ETL, or ELT pipelines with batch or streaming technologies in Python.
Experience working with Databricks as a Platform or building data pipelines with PySpark is a plus.
Strong experience with the AWS platform including, but not limited to, services such as: Glue, RedShift, CloudFormation, S3, CloudWatch, Lambdas, etc… or equivalents

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!
