Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

The SonarSource Analysis Team is looking for passionate Java Developers to create the most advanced static analyzers in the world.

• Evolve the way our analyzers understand code by creating ever better models and developing new rules on top of them.
• Contribute to the open source community by developing open source products under the SonarSource umbrella and contributing back to libraries used by our products.
• Help collectively define the team's short and long term goals.

• Strong ability to develop in Java with clean code.
• Excellent Computer Science fundamentals (common data structures and algorithms).
• Fluency in software engineering practices such as automated tests or CI/CD.
• Experience with agile practices and principles.
• Comfortable in dealing with change and complexity.
• Confidence to challenge the status quo as well as to be challenged.

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.
