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, 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.

You will be one of the founding Senior Account Executives on Sonar's AI Sales Specialist team. You'll own a named-account territory of AI-native startups (Series A–C) and digital-native unicorns headquartered in the Bay Area, building pipeline, running developer-led evaluations, and closing six- and seven-figure deals with VPs of Engineering, Heads of Platform/DevEx, and CTOs.

 

This is a full-cycle, high-velocity role inside a category-defining platform. You'll be expected to spend real time in-person with customers — at their offices, at meetups, at our San Mateo office — because the buyers you're selling to value being met where they are. You'll work hand-in-hand with Sonar Solutions Engineering, Developer Advocacy, Product, and Marketing to turn bottom-up developer adoption into expansion-ready enterprise relationships across the Sonar platform.

 

Not every deal in your book requires a six-month enterprise pursuit. Sonar's PLG engine generates real pipeline — workspace signups, GitHub installs, developer trial activity — and a meaningful portion of your revenue will come from converting that signal efficiently into closed deals. You are expected to run both: strategic multi-threaded enterprise engagements with CTOs and VPs of Engineering, and shorter-cycle inside-sales-style closes on PLG-sourced opportunities where the product has already done the heavy lifting. The expectation is velocity where the deal allows it, and depth where the deal demands it.

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion

At Sonar, we believe that our diversity is our strength. We are a global company that values and respects different backgrounds, perspectives, and cultures. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome all qualified applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

If you need any accommodation, please reach out to us at [email protected]. 

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

We do not currently support visa candidates in the US.
