TLDR

Serve as the technical architect of Sonar’s partner ecosystem by ensuring seamless integration and fostering key technical relationships, driving user adoption and business growth.

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. Position description: As a Partner Engineer, you will serve as a technical architect of Sonar’s partner ecosystem, bridging the gap between our code quality and security solution and partner tools developers rely on every day. You will expand the reach of our platform by designing and building high-quality integrations with leading DevOps, CI/CD, and agentic and AI-assisted developer platform partners. By reducing friction and embedding Sonar seamlessly into external workflows, you will empower millions of developers to fix issues at the source without leaving their preferred environments. Your work will directly support our ecosystem strategy, transforming integrations into powerful drivers of user adoption and business growth while fostering deep technical relationships with key partners in the industry. What you will do:

Act as the primary technical expert for Sonar’s technology partners, translating their capabilities into integration and GTM opportunities for Sonar.

Present partner integration requirements to Sonar’s Product Management and Engineering functions, and influence Sonar’s partner integration roadmap as required.

Design, architect, prototype, and demonstrate integration-based solutions with Sonar’s products and those from Sonar’s technical partners, including DevOps and CI/CD providers (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian, Azure DevOps), IDE platforms (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Cognition), agentic coding providers (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Google DeepMind), and vibe coding platforms (e.g., Vercel, Replit, Lovable).

Evangelize these integrations by producing technical content, including integration guides, blog posts, and demos. Conduct joint webinars with partners and speak at industry and partner events.

Assist partners (and customers, as required) with integration deployments and implementations, facilitating interactions between partners and Sonar’s Product Management and Engineering functions.
