Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code verification and governance, 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 Sales Recruiter at Sonar, you won’t just be filling seats - you’ll be the architect of our revenue engine. We operate in a high-velocity environment where "pace" isn’t just a buzzword; it’s our default setting. You will be responsible for identifying, attracting, and hiring top-tier talent across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success. You'll be working from our Austin, TX headquarters, a busy GTM hub, where you'll be the local Talent expert and SME for our Revenue leaders.
Your Core Focus:
High-Velocity Execution: You thrive in an environment that moves fast. You’ll manage full-cycle recruiting processes with urgency, ensuring we hit aggressive hiring targets without sacrificing quality.
Strategic Sourcing: You are a "hunter" by nature. You know how to dig deep into talent pools, leverage creative sourcing channels, and engage passive candidates who aren’t even looking yet.
Stakeholder Management: You’ll act as a strategic partner to our Sales Directors, VPs, and Revenue leadership. You don’t just take orders; you consult on market trends, calibrate profiles, and manage expectations through clear, data-driven communication.
Candidate Experience: In a competitive market, you are the face of Sonar. You’ll craft compelling narratives that sell our mission and ensure every candidate has a seamless, professional, and high-energy interview journey.
What You Bring To The Table:
3-5 years experience in Recruitment: You should have a proven background in recruitment, with the majority spent in-house. Agency experience is greatly appreciated, though you should have a strong understanding of how to navigate the internal recruiting world.
- GTM Recruiting experience: You must have a solid grasp of the GTM landscape; you should understand how Sales people operate, what makes them tick.
Revenue Fluency: You speak the language of sales. You understand quotas, territories, and what makes a "top 1%" AE or Sales Engineer.
Relationship Building: The ability to push back on hiring managers when necessary and provide expert guidance on the talent landscape.
Adaptability: The agility to pivot priorities as the business evolves, maintaining a cool head under pressure.
You don't just find people; you find the right people, right now.
We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.
Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.
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.
Applications that are submitted through agencies or third party recruiters will not be considered.
