Words from the Team
Our team is made of 19 passionate teammates making sure our products provide the features developers love in line with the company strategy. We share values like collaboration, kindness, and continuous improvement. Our products are widely adopted, new features are frequently requested by our community and we constantly want to implement new features. We need to increase the size of the team so that every Product Manager has the time to do deep discovery on the opportunities that merit it. Our typical day is made of research related to new domains we want to cover, specification, and validation of new features in collaboration with engineering teams. We also collaborate with many other teams to make sure we deliver the best products.
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.
