Job Details

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 used by +7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide, including 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:  

As a Platform Engineer, you will be a key player in evolving Sonar’s engineering experience. You will design, build, and maintain the core CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling that drive our development process. You’ll work closely with engineering teams to enhance automation, security, and developer productivity, while advocating for best practices and optimizing key developer experience metrics.

The Engineering Experience squad accelerates developer productivity across the Sonar supply chain by providing a secure, reliable, performant, and standardized development ecosystem. Our goal is to empower teams to build and release with confidence, enabling them to focus on delivering exceptional products.

We own and operate the critical infrastructure that fuels Sonar’s development lifecycle, including:

• Source Code Management – Maintaining and securing our GitHub presence through Infrastructure as Code.
• Continuous Integration – Managing self-hosted CI infrastructure in AWS for image creation and job execution.
•  Release Validation – Ensuring artifact integrity and quality through comprehensive release checks.
•  Release Management – Streamlining artifact promotion and release orchestration via JFrog integration.
•  Secrets Management – Providing secure authentication and authorization for CI infrastructure and tools using Hashicorp Vault.
•  Dependency Management – Automating updates and security patching with Renovate.
•  GitHub Actions Platform – Delivering a scalable, reliable self-hosted environment for GitHub Actions in AWS.
•  Developer Self-Service – Enabling developer autonomy through our internal developer portal for key operations

What You Will Do Daily:

  • Own and enhance our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and efficient.
  • Empower developers with self-service tools, reducing friction in the development process.
  • Measure and improve developer experience using data-driven insights and key performance metrics.
  • Advocate and educate, showcasing demos and best practices to keep teams informed.
  • Secure the software supply chain, ensuring industry standard compliance and reducing security risks.
  • Automate infrastructure and pipeline configurations to reduce drift and improve reliability.
  • Collaborate with teams to establish standardized deployment and release processes.
  • Scale and optimize Sonar’s AWS Infrastructure: Self-hosted runners, CI tooling, and secrets management.
  • Lead cross-team collaboration, driving initiatives that improve engineering workflows.

The Experience You Will Need:

  • Strong experience in DevOps, CI/CD, and automation in cloud environments.
  • Strong programming skills in both statically typed (e.g., Java) and dynamically typed (e.g., Python) languages, complemented by expertise in Shell scripting (e.g., Bash).
  • Deep knowledge of AWS, HashiCorp Terraform, and AWS CDK.
  • Hands-on experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, and build tools (Maven, Gradle, NPM, Yarn, MSBuild…).
  • Expertise in containerization technologies, including Docker, Kubernetes, and EKS.
  • Strong experience in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Configuration as Code (CaC), and Everything as Code principles.
  • Security-first mindset, with experience in securing CI/CD pipelines and secrets management.
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog.
  • Bonus: Experience with Sonar products and Renovate.
  • Autonomous, pragmatic, and results-driven, with a focus on execution.
  • Strong leadership and collaboration skills, driving engineering-wide initiatives.
  • Effective communicator, engaging with developers and stakeholders to drive adoption.
  • Open-minded and adaptable, comfortable navigating complexity and change.
  • Challenger of the status quo, continuously improving processes and tooling.
  • Bias toward action, prioritizing progress over perfection.

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!). 
  • Great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly while still being passionate leaders in our domains. 
  • We have a flexible work policy that includes 3 days in-office and 2 days work-from-home each week for those located near our office locations; some locations such as Dubai, India, Japan and Australia operate fully remotely.
  • We have a growth mindset. We love learning and believe continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are necessary, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.
  • As the leader in our field, our products and services are as strong as our internal team members.
  • We embrace transparency with regular meetings, cascading messages and updates on the growth and success of our organization.


Benefits of Working With Sonar:

  • Flexible comprehensive employee benefit package that is 90% paid by the company.
  • We encourage usage of our robust time-off allocations.
  • We offer an exciting 401(k) plan that has a 4% match, fully vested on day one of participation.
  • Generous discretionary Company Growth Bonus, paid annually.  
  • Fully paid parking in the heart of downtown Austin, Texas.
  • Global workforce with employees in 20+ countries representing 35+ unique nationalities.
  • We have an annual kick-off somewhere in the world where we meet to build relationships and goals for the company.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.

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

We do not currently support visa candidates in the US.

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