As a Senior Sourcer at Sonar, you will design and execute global sourcing strategies, build diverse talent pipelines, provide market intelligence, and collaborate with recruiters to meet hiring needs for both technical and non-technical roles.
Who is Sonar?
Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it — your internal team, genAI, or third parties — resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is trusted by +7M developers worldwide, including teams at the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T-Mobile.
We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company, users, each other, and our open source community. We have high standards and hold each other accountable for acting with positivity, dedication, thoughtfulness, empathy, and passion daily.
We are deliberate with our decisions with high clarity of intention. At the same time, we feel extreme urgency and move forward quickly.
And lastly, we are highly effective and operationally efficient. We operate collectively as One Team to accomplish our goals.
At Sonar, CODE is more than just an acronym – it's a mindset that defines daily operations.
Why You Should Apply:
At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help supercharge developers to build better, faster. Sonar helps to continuously improve code quality and code security while reducing developer toil. This means that developers can focus on doing more of what they love and less of what they don’t. Our solutions don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we help fix issues at the source – for all code, whether it's developer-written, AI-generated, or from third parties.
We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. Team members should be able 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: supercharge developers to build better, faster.

As a proven expert in sourcing, you will be responsible for building robust, diverse, and high-quality talent pipelines for every recruiter across all our regions (Americas, EMEA, and APAC). Your exceptional craft will directly translate into reduced time-to-hire, enhanced talent quality, and a significant competitive advantage in critical markets. We have high expectations for this role, and your ability to deliver will be integral to scaling the organization alongside a wonderful team.
What You Will Do Daily:
- Design and execute advanced, global sourcing strategies for highly niche and critical roles across all technical and non-technical functions.

The Experience You Will Need:
- Deep Sourcing Expertise: Proven track record of operating exclusively as a strategic senior sourcer, with a confirmed desire to stay in a sourcing scope for the foreseeable future (we’re not currently looking for someone who wants to transition into a full-cycle recruiting role)
- Global Market Mastery: Extensive and demonstrated success sourcing candidates across major international hubs across AMER, EMEA and APAC
- Broad Functional Coverage: Experience sourcing for a diverse set of roles, including both highly technical positions (e.g., Engineering, DevOps, Security, Data & AI) and critical non-technical functions (e.g., GTM, Finance, G&A).

- Data-Driven Influence: Demonstrated ability to use market data, metrics, and funnel analysis to influence sourcing strategies and advise internal stakeholders on realistic timelines and challenges.
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!).
- Great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly while still being passionate leaders in our domains.
- We have a flexible work policy that includes 3 days in-office and 2 days work-from-home each week for those located near our office locations; some locations such as Dubai, India, Japan and Australia operate fully remotely.
