Who is Sonar? Sonar enables organizations to ship agentic code with confidence. Code creation is abundant, but confidence is scarce. Our core platform, SonarQube, verifies over 750 billion lines of code every day, delivering agentic verification and governance for all code. Trusted by more than 7 million developers and 75% of the Fortune 100, including teams at Nvidia, ServiceNow, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company, Sonar enables organizations to reduce outages, improve security, and lower the cost and risk of agentic software development.

Founded in Geneva and now headquartered in Austin, Texas, Sonar has a global team working across offices and hubs, including Silicon Valley, London, Bochum, Barcelona, Singapore, Tokyo, and the Washington, D.C. area. At Sonar, we’re enabling enterprises to build agentic software factories that can move quickly while maintaining the control, consistency and evidence required to ship with confidence.

• Work closely with other product designers to ensure a cohesive information architecture and a unified experience across the entire product platform.
• Align with your product manager on problem definition, providing design solutions throughout the end-to-end development stage.
• Partner with engineering teams early in the design process to vet technical feasibility and uncover edge cases.
• Help the Product Design team grow by contributing to our design processes, tools, and collaborative frameworks.

Experience and qualifications

• Experience organizing data-heavy environments into logical structures and mapping user journeys that minimize friction.
• Demonstrated curiosity and practical experience using AI tools to accelerate research, ideation and design velocity.
• A self-starter mindset with the drive to identify UX gaps and propose structural improvements without being prompted.
• Ability to articulate design decisions and the "why" behind them to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfort working in a cross-functional environment where feedback is shared openly and success is a team effort.
• Delivery mindset. Your role does not end when the design is handed off.
• Bonus points if you have a technical background in computer science or software development.
