Full description
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.

The CI Experience squad enables users to analyze their projects in their own CI, making analysis a core part of their workflow. We have a mission to make analysis reliable, fast, configurable and developer-friendly.
What you will do • Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and engineers to build the best CI-based analysis experience. • Contribute well tested and production ready code. • Participate in the on-call operation of analysis infrastructure, including feature deployments, production monitoring, incident response, and troubleshooting. • Contribute to the definition of the team’s short and long-term goals.

Nice to have • Familiarity with a variety of build systems and CI runners.
In-office culture
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.

The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Geneva is CHF 71'000 - 107'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by SonarSource (Sonar). The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does SonarSource (Sonar) offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with SonarSource (Sonar) during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Geneva?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Geneva's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Geneva's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
