Job description

Who is Sonar?
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code verification and governance, 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, ServiceNow,Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, 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
We're launching Customer Success Engineering — a brand-new function at Sonar. As a founding CSE, you'll help write the playbook. We are proactive technical advisors who own the health, maturity, and growth of a customer portfolio — with AI at the core of how we operate, keeping a pulse on every account so we focus our energy where it creates the most impact. CSE is not support, not services, and not a sales overlay. It's a strategic role for engineers who love technology and business impact in equal measure — and who want to redefine what customer success looks like.

What You'll Do:
•
Own a portfolio: be the trusted technical advisor for your accounts across the full journey — onboarding, adoption, health, value realization.

•
Act on signals: AI surfaces the risks and opportunities across your accounts; you take them from signal to outcome — accelerating growth, getting ahead of risk.

•
Level customers up: lead maturity assessments and outcome reviews that raise how customers build — and prove the impact.

•
Turn priorities into plans: understand each customer's business priorities and translate them into clear technical plans — empowering them to get the most value from the platform.

•
Fuel the wider team: hand qualified expansion signals and renewal insight to Sales — clean handoffs, shared wins.

Experience and Qualifications:
The ideal candidate will:

•
Bring hands-on experience in DevOps, software engineering, or platform roles: CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and how code quality and security fit into them.

•
Carry a business brain: when AI flags a risk or an opportunity, you know what it means for the customer's business — and you move on it, accelerating the upside and defusing the downside.

•
Communicate sharply: explaining complex things simply and assertively — to a developer or a VP, in a deep-dive or an executive review.

•
Bring analytical firepower: spotting patterns, connecting dots across data sources, and turning them into recommendations people act on.

•
Show founding-team energy: building a path for others to follow, taking ownership, acting before being asked, and staying steady while the map is still being drawn.

•
Be fluent in English; additional languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, or Japanese is a plus.

•
Above all: be energetic, coachable, and resilient — with integrity at the core and teamwork as the default. You won't be joining a function; you'll be creating one.

•
Bonus points: experience with SonarQube, SAST/AppSec tooling, or developer platforms; customer-facing experience (solutions engineering, consulting, support, customer success); Java or another modern language; comfort in Linux; hands-on with AI coding assistants or agentic development.

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. W
