Job Description
Who is Sonar?
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code review and verification, we solve a critical problem: ensuring that software generated by AI-assisted developers or autonomous agents is reliable, secure, and maintainable.
Integrating seamlessly with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, and Devin, we help over 75% of the Fortune 100 build trusted, reliable, compliant software. Customers who use Sonar are 44% less likely to report an outage due to AI-generated code.
We believe code verification is the critical missing link in the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC). Industry giants like Nvidia, Mastercard, NASA, Deutsche Bank, and Ford Motor Company count on us to provide independent, explainable, consistent review and governance of their AI-generated code via products like:
SonarQube: The world’s leading AI code review and verification platform.
SonarQube Foundation Agent: Currently topping the leaderboards for agentic software repair.
SonarSweep & Sonar Context Augmentation: Providing the enterprise-grade context and constraints agents need to be truly effective.
Our team operates across global hubs in Austin, Bochum, Dubai, Geneva, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Washington D.C. We move with a mindset we call CODE:
Committed to our customers and community.
Obsessed with quality.
Deliberate in our decisions.
Effective as one team.
With over $400M in revenue and profitable, fast-paced growth, we are building the backbone of the AI software revolution. If you’re hungry to have an impact, want to build at a fast pace, and ready to work at the forefront of AI, we want to hear from you.
Position description
As a Principal Platform Engineer (Architecture & Enablement), you will be the technical catalyst behind our "Golden Path" strategy, turning architectural vision into tangible engineering reality. You will sit at the intersection of our Platform Division and our Product Software Engineers, providing them with the autonomy to ship faster and safer. You will design and build the "Golden Path" engine—the core scaffolding, CLI tools, and internal portal integrations—that allows engineering teams to bootstrap production-ready services in minutes, not days. You will engineer the foundational software blocks and libraries that solve common backend challenges once, enabling product teams to focus on business logic rather than reinventing infrastructure plumbing. You will act as a force multiplier, actively identifying friction points in our entire development lifecycle (from IDE to Production) and building the integration "glue" that eliminates them. You will serve as the R&D arm for the platform, prototyping emerging technologies (e.g., coding agents, ephemeral environments) to validate their value before scaling them across the organization.
