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.To sustain the growth of our customer portfolio and to extend our services offering, we are looking for Technical Support Engineers to join our Support Team.

On top of joining a fast-growing and innovative company, you will have the opportunity to assist our customers around the world in deploying/using our solutions and adopting software engineering best practices as a whole.

The impact you can have


As a Technical Support Engineer, you will contribute to Sonar products adoption and integration. You will provide an individualized level of service to our customers. You will guide them in finding the right implementation and advocate the best way to use our products. You will also investigate and solve customer issues in a timely manner. In Sonar, you will represent the customer voice in product discussions.

On a daily basis, you will


  • Help customers integrate our solutions across their development pipeline. It means helping the technical integration with developer IDE, ALMs, and Continuous Integration chain; the integration to software lifecycle (SCM, build, test), and the integration to existing business applications (authentication, database, etc.).
  • Drive technical issues to resolution: from the qualification of customer concerns to conducting an in-depth technical investigation managing customer relationship all along the way.
  • Collaborate with Sales and Consultants to improve overall customer experience and make sure that our Service offering brings maximum value to our customers.
  • Work with the rest of the team to listen, challenge and refine customers feedback to feed discussions with products teams and shape product evolutions.
  • Have a voice in enhancing the way we work.

The skills you will demonstrate


  • 5+ years of experience in maintaining and delivering high-quality software with Software engineering best practices.
  • 3+ years experience using or administrating a DevOps pipeline: SCM (e.g. Git, SVN), IDE (e.g. Visual Studio, IntelliJ), CI (e.g. Jenkins Pipelines, Azure DevOps, BitBucket, GitLab). More than acronyms, these are the tools that our customers use and that our products integrate with.
  • Experience with system-wide deployments. Because sometimes an issue is not caused by the application itself, but by the network, the underlying server, the database, or else.
  • Investigation skills to understand problems in their context and the ability to reproduce these scenarios.
  • Team player, receiving and giving feedback as well as sharing knowledge.
  • Can-do attitude: challenging the status quo, leading and contributing to key improvements and innovations.
