Why should I Apply:
At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.
We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.
SonarSource is looking for passionate Product Managers who will make our products truly loved by developers around the world.

As a Product Manager, you will shape our analysis capabilities, ensuring that we provide a seamless and intuitive configuration and ongoing experience for users. To achieve this perfect match, we need a passionate Product Manager who will research, clarify, prioritize the needs of developers, and translate those needs across our product line. You will become an expert user of our products, from very high-level features down to technical aspects of the analysis processing.
You will join the Product Management team, which is composed of other passionate Product Managers eager to collaborate with you. You will also work closely with engaged Engineering teams to ensure that the proposed solutions meet the expected outcome and that we collectively deliver the best products to help development teams write better code.
By joining us, you will bring your deep knowledge of the development and DevOps workflow, and your experience as a Product Manager to help SonarSource reach the next level and provide an awesome user experience to millions of developers.

- Sync with the engineering teams to ensure that there is a good balance between innovation, consolidation, and stability.
- Attend conferences and give talks if you like.
- Help the Product Management team grow in its organization, tools, and processes.
The skills you will demonstrate
- Passionate about programming and software development
- Experience in software product management, preferably in an agile context.
- Technical comprehension of the architectures related to code scanning and static analysis
- Highly autonomous and pragmatic.
- Open-minded and very positive can-do attitude.
- Comfortable in dealing with change, complexity, and uncertainty.
- Self-confident enough to challenge the status quo as well as to receive feedback.

Words from the Team
Our team is made of 20 passionate teammates who make sure our products provide the features developers love in line with the company strategy. We share values like collaboration, kindness, and continuous improvement.
Our products are widely adopted, and our community frequently requests new features. We are always looking to implement new features to address evolving needs. We want to increase the size of the team so that every Product Manager has the time to think and fully dig into the topics.
Our typical day involves research related to new domains we want to cover, specification, and validation of new features in collaboration with engineering teams. We also collaborate with many other teams to ensure we deliver the best products.
Why you will love it here:
• Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.
• We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!
• We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).
• We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.
