Sonar solves the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code. Sonar equips organizations to achieve and sustain a Clean Code state by empowering developers to write consistent, intentional, adaptable, and responsible code. Clean Code produces software that is maintainable, reliable, and secure, allowing development teams to spend less time fixing issues and more time innovating. With Sonar, and by employing the company’s Clean as You Code methodology, organizations minimize risk, reduce technical debt, increase productivity, and derive more value from their software in a predictable and sustainable way.
Sonar’s open-source and commercial products – SonarLint, SonarCloud, and SonarQube – support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Trusted by more than 500,000 organizations and used by more than 7 million developers globally to clean more than half a trillion lines of code, Sonar is integral to delivering better software.SonarSource provides a series of products to help engineers eliminate bugs and vulnerabilities, and champion quality code in the software development process.
Our products are already the standard products that extend Github, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. Our goal is to make these products the ultimate automatic code analysis solution and get it adopted by millions of users for millions of projects and billions of lines of code. This means managing a set of complex code delivery pipelines using next-generation tooling that implement robust security processes, scales, is fully automated, and provides data that enables us to ensure we continuously improve the service quality to our internal engineering teams. To achieve this goal, we are looking for a talented Release Engineer - you! - to join the SonarSource team.
Your mindset and skills
You have solid experience in advanced DevOps discipline, have implemented security-tested pipelines across infrastructure and applications, ensuring robust security practices are implemented and adhered to. You understand the engineers’ perspective in supporting customer-facing production services and their needs for automation of builds and deployments, be that of application or infrastructure code. You have a development background and believe in having Dev and Ops profiles (and more!) working together as a tightly-knit team.
You are motivated by both technical and functional aspects of services. Your motto is “Anything that needs to be done twice should be automated”. You challenge the status quo. You are pragmatic and strive for continuous improvement through small increments. You demonstrate a scientific approach to systems management through observation, analysis, testing, and automation. You are a friendly, enthusiastic, and organized team player. You actively share your knowledge, give and receive feedback, to improve the team and yourself.

- Support the development teams in designing end-to-end pipelines for software and infrastructure deployment across their needs.
- Implement and maintain the pipelines in terms of upgrades of software components or adjustments based on needs.
- Secure the supply chain (infrastructure, code repositories, artifact storage).
- Work towards a recurring rebuild of the pipeline itself to ensure that configuration drift is reduced.
- Collaborate with teams to help generalize standards to simplify management and avoid specializations where they can be avoided
- Collaborate with infrastructure to ensure requirements for underlying computing, storage, and networking are scalable
- Own the tools involved in the pipelines.
- Active dedication to the autonomy of the development teams and their appropriation of the means made available to them through automation and self-service.
- Leverage SaaS where we can whilst ensuring robust security engineering.
