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 Impact you can have

SonarCloud is an online service that eliminates bugs and vulnerabilities, and champions quality code in the software development process. It is already a standard product that extends GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Our goal is to make it the ultimate online automatic code analysis solution and get it adopted by millions of users for millions of projects and billions of lines of code.

The team behind SonarCloud is composed of passionate developers who are progressively re-architecting SonarCloud to a pure cloud-native application composed of multiple services in order to deliver great new features more fluently. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will implement massively scalable services, automate all systems operations, and measure and continuously optimize service quality. Joining our team in Geneva, Switzerland, you'll collaborate with a talented group of engineers on Identity and Access Management, Platform Security, and more. If you thrive in a collaborative environment and believe in building exceptional software, apply today and join us on the journey to revolutionize software quality!

Why you will love it here:

• 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!
