Who is Sonar?
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code verification and governance, we solve a critical problem: ensuring that software generated by AI-assisted developers or autonomous agents is reliable, secure, and maintainable.
Integrating seamlessly with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, and Devin, we help over 75% of the Fortune 100 build trusted, reliable, compliant software. Customers who use Sonar are 44% less likely to report an outage due to AI-generated code.
We believe code verification is the critical missing link in the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC). Industry giants like Nvidia, ServiceNow, Booking.com, Goldman Sachs, AstraZeneca, and Ford Motor Company count on us to provide independent, explainable, consistent review and governance of their AI-generated code via products like:
SonarQube: The world’s leading AI code review and verification platform.
SonarQube Foundation Agent: Currently topping the leaderboards for agentic software repair.
SonarSweep & Sonar Context Augmentation: Providing the enterprise-grade context and constraints agents need to be truly effective.
Our team operates across global hubs in Austin, Bochum, Dubai, Geneva, London, San Mateo (California), Singapore, Tokyo, and Washington D.C. We move with a mindset we call CODE:
Committed to our customers and community.
Obsessed with quality.
Deliberate in our decisions.
Effective as one team.
With over $400M in revenue and profitable, fast-paced growth, we are building the backbone of the AI software revolution. If you’re hungry to have an impact, want to build at a fast pace, and ready to work at the forefront of AI, we want to hear from you.
Position description
Sonar is looking for a Senior Recruiter based in San Mateo to lead full-cycle recruitment across both technical, GTM and G&A roles. This role will help integrate and scale the Gitar team following our acquisition, and will be our first recruiter in our Bay Area office You'll partner closely with hiring managers and senior stakeholders across the globe (including our CRO based in London; CEO & Founder of Gitar in San Mateo, CEO and CHRO in ATX) to identify, attract, and close exceptional talent spanning all our divisions across tech and non-tech.
We're in high-growth mode, and the roles you recruit for today may not be the roles you're recruiting for six months from now. As our go-to recruiter for the West Coast, we need someone with the range and experience to flex with the business—stepping into whatever hiring priorities emerge, whether that's engineering, GTM, or something in between. We'd love someone with true generalist depth across technical and non-technical roles, but what matters most is recruiting excellence: we're looking for a strong talent partner, not an administrator. You should be someone hiring managers and executives trust to shape hiring strategy, not just execute against a job spec. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to be deep in the weeds—sourcing, pitching, and closing—while also thinking like an owner about how the function should scale.
