Who is Sonar?
Sonar is driving the future of agent-centric software development. As the leader in AI code review and verification, 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, 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
As a Senior Associate, Corporate Development at Sonar, you will play a foundational role in shaping the company's growth strategy across M&A, strategic investments, and build/partner/buy decisions. Reporting to the VP, Corporate Development, you will be the primary engine for outbound sourcing, market mapping, and triage of M&A opportunities across the AI coding, developer tools, application security, and broader software development lifecycle (SDLC) ecosystem.
You will own day-to-day pipeline management and serve as the connective tissue between Sonar's executive leadership, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Legal teams as we evaluate M&A opportunities. From first outreach through diligence and integration planning, you will help ensure Sonar evaluates the right opportunities, with the right rigor, at the right pace. This is a high-visibility role designed to give an early-career professional from venture capital, investment banking, or corporate development direct operating exposure at one of the most strategically positioned independent software companies in the AI era.
