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.

Gitar.ai is an AI-native code review platform that uses AI agents to support pull request validation and CI workflows by reviewing code, diagnosing failures, proposing fixes, and adding tests and validations directly within existing development processes. Gitar automatically makes every change production-ready, approves and merges routine changes, involves humans only in exception cases, and learns from each exception to improve over time. In that model, humans oversee the end-to-end process rather than manually reviewing every change.

Position description

Sonar is looking for a passionate, seasoned product designer to join our Product Design team. You will fundamentally shape the experience of our (agentic and human) users as they build the software of the future. You'll help ensure that our developer and agent users write better code, navigate complex codebases, and leverage AI agents to accelerate large-scale code changes.

In your product area, you will work closely with Product Management and Engineering teammates to ensure that the proposed solutions meet the expected outcome and that we collectively deliver the best products to help development teams write better and more secure code. You will also collaborate with other designers and researchers across the organization, ensuring consistency and contributing to best practices.

What you will do

  • Own and lead product design across your squad, setting design direction and raising the bar for craft, quality, and strategic thinking.
  • Build for AI agents as first class users. You won't just be designing a compelling experience for human users, you will also ensure that the product works exceptionally well for our silicon-based users too!
  • Integrate AI into every stage of your design workflow, leveraging it to accelerate research synthesis, automate repetitive tasks, and explore high-fidelity prototypes more efficiently.
  • Listen to our users and customers to understand their needs. Develop a deep understanding of the SDLC and how we can enable developers and AI agents to produce better quality software.
  • Work closely with other product designers to ensure a cohesive information architecture and a unified experience across the entire product platform.
  • Align with your product manager on problem definition, providing design solutions throughout the end-to-end development stage.
  • Partner with engineering teams early in the design process to vet technical feasibility and uncover edge cases.
  • Mentor fellow designers through critique, pairing, and feedback — actively investing in the team's growth and raising collective craft.
  • Shape and advance the Product Design team's processes, tools, and collaborative frameworks — not just contributing to them, but taking genuine ownership of their evolution.
  • Have the opportunity to work and experiment daily with a variety of AI tools and models, doing real work.

Experience and qualifications

  • Experience organizing complex environments into logical structures and mapping user journeys that minimize friction.
  • Demonstrated curiosity and practical experience using AI tools to accelerate research, ideation and design velocity.
  • A self-starter mindset with the drive to identify UX gaps and propose structural improvements without being prompted.
  • Ability to articulate design decisions and the "why" behind them to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfort working in a cross-functional environment where feedback is shared openly and success is a team effort.
  • Delivery mindset. Your role does not end when the design is handed off.
  • Track record of driving design strategy and establishing patterns that scale beyond your immediate squad — influencing the broader product and design organization.
  • Familiarity with software development workflows, the SDLC, or a background in computer science — you don't need to write production code, but you need to think alongside engineers who do.
  • Experience designing AI workflows or agent-driven experiences is a strong plus, and will meaningfully shorten your onboarding ramp.

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.
