About SonarSource

Sonar is the independent AI code verification platform trusted by 7M+ developers & organizations to help build secure, reliable software with confidence. Backed by General Catalyst and Insight.

About the role

Research, write, and maintain high-quality course content for both customer and partner audiences — covering topics including SonarQube installation and configuration, Agentic software development methodology, CI/CD integration, and migration paths from SonarQube Server to SonarQube Cloud. Develop content across formats: written modules, video scripts, lab exercises, knowledge checks, and assessment questions — working closely with Instructional Designers to bring each course to life.

What they're looking for

  • At least 3 years of experience creating technical content for developer or technical practitioner audiences — tutorials, documentation, eLearning, or similar
  • A working understanding of software development practices: you're comfortable discussing CI/CD pipelines, code quality concepts, DevOps workflows, and cloud vs. self-hosted deployment models
  • Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, structured, accessible content — without dumbing it down for the audience who needs it
  • Experience working across content formats, including written and video (scripting, on-camera, or voiceover experience is a plus)
  • Familiarity with LMS platforms and the mechanics of publishing and maintaining eLearning courses
  • Strong collaboration skills — you work well with SMEs, Instructional Designers, and cross-functional stakeholders to produce accurate, polished output
More about this role

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.
