The posting

Who is Sonar?

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.

Position Description

As an Engineering Manager at Sonar, you will lead a squad of 8 developers to build, automate and operate software used by millions of Sonar customers worldwide. You will own the professional growth and development of your team, enabling them to build well-crafted software for our products, and promoting a high-performance engineering culture.

You will improve our products by leading the elaboration of the squad's annual and quarterly objectives in close collaboration with the AI team while contributing to and overseeing technical architecture and engineering direction.

You will help to bring consistency across Sonar’s engineering organization by collaborating closely with your engineering manager peers to foster and share engineering best practices.

What you will do

  • Lead and manage a team of Engineers, providing guidance, support, and mentorship to help individuals grow in autonomy and contribute to the team's success.
  • Hold yourself and your team accountable to a high engineering standard.
  • Foster a safe culture of feedback, continuous improvement, and collaboration, encouraging team members to share their ideas and concerns openly.
  • Align feedback with other teams to ensure things operate smoothly between teams.
  • Partner with product managers, designers, and team leads to develop and communicate a clear vision for the squad that aligns with the company strategy and ensure that the team's work and focus align with this vision.
  • Ensure the squad defines clear objectives that are aligned with team, department, and company goals.
  • Be accountable for tracking sprint progress.
  • Be accountable that processes and ceremonies align with company expectations to deliver the best product successfully.
  • Ensure that the right level of collaboration happens with the squad stakeholders (Product Managers, developer squads, Marketing, Management, etc.).
  • Partner with the Hiring team to recruit talented Engineers for the team. Participate in improving the hiring process for the team and ensuring we recruit enough to reach our goals.
  • Be accountable that the onboarding of new team members is happening in the squad.
  • Lead by example, modeling the behaviors and values that the company holds dear, including humility and servant leadership.

Experience and qualifications

  • 8+ years of software development or equivalent experience in the software development domain, with a strong understanding of software testing.
  • Having a developer mindset: experience with coding lifecycle, ability to produce secure code, to do code reviews, and to jump into an unknown codebase, language, and framework.
  • Advanced knowledge of the Java ecosystem
  • Good knowledge of at least one programming language along with its development environment to understand end-user's context and expectations.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies.
  • 3+ years of experience in a leadership or management role, with a proven track record of delivering results and building high-performing teams.
  • A growth mindset and a passion for helping individuals and teams reach their full potential.
  • Strong decision-making skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and resources effectively.
  • Capability to make concrete progress in the face of ambiguity and imperfect knowledge.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to clearly identify the problem to be solved and articulate it, before jumping to possible solutions/actions.
  • Ability to deliver effective feedback.
  • Good listening skills.
  • Ability to face small conflicts in a healthy way and help parties resolve them.
  • High level of autonomy and still accepting help and feedback from team members and peers.
  • Ability to challenge yourself.

In-office culture

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.

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion

At Sonar, we believe that our diversity is our strength. We are a global company that values and respects different backgrounds, perspectives, and cultures. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome all qualified applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

If you need any accommodation, please reach out to us at [email protected].

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the results of a comprehensive background check and reference verification conducted before the start date.

Applications that are submitted through agencies or third party recruiters will not be considered.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
