Staff C++ Developer

Overview Who is Sonar? Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it — your internal team, genAI, or third parties — resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by +7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide, including the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T-Mobile. We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company, users, each other, and our open source community. We have high standards and hold each other accountable for acting with positivity, dedication, thoughtfulness, empathy, and passion daily. We are deliberate with our decisions with high clarity of intention. At the same time, we feel extreme urgency and move forward quickly. And lastly, we are highly effective and operationally efficient. We operate collectively as One Team to accomplish our goals. At Sonar, CODE is more than just an acronym – it's a mindset that defines daily operations. The Impact You Will Have The Sonar Code Quality Team is seeking a passionate Staff C++ Developer to contribute to our advanced CFamily analyzer. SonarSource’s CFamily code analyzer is designed to fulfill the needs of C and C++ developers: spotting tricky code quality and security issues as fast as possible while generating as little noise as possible. Dereferences of null pointers, memory leaks, dead code, and logic flow errors … are some examples of those quality issues. The analyzer also helps enforce coding standards like CPP Core Guidelines and MISRA C++2023. The analyzer is built on top of the Clang front-end and can run inside the IDE as well as on CI systems. The analyzer is compatible with the mainstream C and C++ compilers: Clang, GCC, MSVC, and Arm. Joining the CFamily team offers the ultimate challenge of analyzing C++, one of the most intricate programming languages in the world. What You Will Do Daily Have strong ownership of the team’s work and lead the execution of its sprints to completion: do specifications, write code and tests, review code from peers, validate features, and follow up on user feedback after the release. Develop new and maintain existing features for the C and C++ code analyzer. Dive deep into the C++ language and argue about the best guidelines to use it effectively. Evolve the way our analyzers understand code by creating better models and developing new rules on top of them. Interact with clang front-end and have the opportunity to contribute back to it. Collaborate with Product Managers and peers to define new features and set priorities, ensuring that the solutions fit into the Sonar ecosystem. Coordinate with different stakeholders to define the team’s short and long-term goals. The Experience You Will Need 1+ year of experience as a Staff developer or equivalent level. 6+ years of experience as a C++ software developer. Solid understanding of the internals of the C++ language and familiarity with its latest standards. Fluency in C++ best practices for maintainable, secure, performant, and testable code. Curious and eager to learn about the small details of the C++ language. Compiler frontend knowledge is not required; you will learn it while working at SonarSource. Good knowledge of engineering processes. Excellent engineering skills and a good understanding of Computer Science fundamentals. Leadership: you’re able to take initiative and bring a subject to completion with little to no supervision. You have experience supporting and mentoring other team members.
