The impact you will have
Ask a friend or colleague developer about Sonar or SonarQube. They have heard from us and will likely use the products. This is how significant our impact on the tech industry is.
The UX craft has been gradually evolving at Sonar, and there is still much to do. In 2023, UX benchmarked a solid stage 3 of the NNG maturity model at Sonar, with a strong appetite to evolve from there in the next few years. We hold ourselves to high standards, and we are looking for invested, resilient, and humble professionals to join us for the journey ahead.
For this more junior position, we are looking for energy and potential. You will be at the beginning of your journey in UX, learning to self-manage and take direction, still developing your self-management skills. Your more direct contributions are at the project level, and someone will always be by your side, giving you the support you need.
You will work in a tech-heavy environment with engineers and product managers in a cross-functional trio setup. You embrace and navigate the complexity of software development, dealing with terminology and taxonomy likely beyond anything you have ever faced, and be expected to deliver product experiences to one of the most knowledgeable, pragmatic and engaged crafts in the digital space besides your software engineers.
On a daily basis, you will
- Participate in identifying new potential problems for users by driving user-related problem discovery and pairing with Product managers to support business-related problem discovery.
- Participate in Solution discovery to map possible solutions and constraints to prepare the best options for users that Engineering can build, involving the product trio.
- Drive the solution design to define, plan, evaluate and deliver a solution that fits the entire product experience and adequately solves the problem set out to be solved.
- Support the implementation of such features and improvements in the product by continuously working with engineering while you bring our solutions to life together.
- Participate in assessing a feature once it is out in the wild, measuring its impact and success versus what was initially planned.
- Participate and support Product managers in breaking down objectives into feasible, valuable and timely delivery plans and roadmaps.
