Job Details

Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity 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: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

The impact you will have  

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Director to lead our Engineering Team and drive the development of our products. As the Engineering Director, you will be responsible for the technical direction, architecture, and delivery of our solutions. You will lead a team of talented software engineers and work closely with product management to ensure the success of our products.

As part of the role, you will participate in an on-call rotation to provide timely support and address any critical system issues that may arise outside of regular working hours.

On a daily basis, you will

    • Lead a group of engineering managers and their squads to deliver high-quality software products.
    • Provide technical leadership and guidance to the engineering teams, ensuring that the teams are aligned with the company's technical vision and strategy.
    • Define and drive the technical direction, architecture, and roadmap of our products.
    • Collaborate with product management to ensure that our products meet customer needs and business objectives.
    • Work closely with quality assurance to ensure that our products meet high standards of quality and reliability.
    • Ensure that the engineering team is using best practices in software development, including agile development methodologies, continuous integration and delivery, and automated testing.
    • Hire and develop top engineering talent, and engineering managers and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
    • Help to grow individual engineering managers to lead their teams.

The skills you will demonstrate

    • Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
    • 10+ years of experience in software development, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
    • Strong experience in leading software development teams, with a track record of delivering high-quality software products.
    • Strong technical background in software development, with experience in Java, JavaScript, or other programming languages.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
    • Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to motivate and inspire a team of engineers.
    • Experience with agile development methodologies, continuous integration and delivery, and automated testing.
Why you will love it here:

Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.
We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!
We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).
We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.


We prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

At Sonar, we are a global workforce and recognize the value of different backgrounds, and global cultures.

We are committed to creating a diverse work environment and are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the clear results of a comprehensive background check conducted prior to the start date.
