VP Domain Leader

### **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, , 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 the **VP, Domain Leader**, you will be the strategic architect of Sonar’s core product ecosystem. Reporting directly to the **Chief Product Officer (CPO)**, you will oversee a high-performing organization of approximately 20 product professionals, including Group Product Managers (GPMs). This is a high-impact leadership role where you will own the heartbeat of our technical offering—the **Sonar Platform** and **Code Orchestration layer**—alongside our commercial engine, the **Sonar Storefront** (Billing, Permissions, Growth). You will also be the champion of the **Developer Experience (DevEx)**, ensuring our UX, MCP, CLI, APIs, and integrations are world-class. You will work in a "power-couple" partnership with our VP of Engineering to deliver scalable, AI-driven solutions to a global B2B customer base. ### What you will do - **Strategic Vision:** Define and drive a compelling vision that aligns with Sonar’s long-term business goals. - **Business Translation:** Convert complex business needs into actionable product initiatives, balancing technical debt with rapid innovation. - **Domain Evangelism:** Act as the primary advocate for your domain both internally (to the C-suite and Sales) and externally (to customers and the developer community). - **Execution & GTM Readiness:** Personally lead the demonstration of MVPs and ensure the entire domain is primed for Go-To-Market success, working closely with Marketing and Sales. - **Cross-Domain Orchestration:** Serve as the strategic "smoother" for cross-domain initiatives. While GPMs and PMs own the tactical execution, you remove high-level friction and ensure alignment across the broader organization. - **Performance Monitoring:** Take full accountability for the health of your domain, specifically tracking and optimizing **ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)** and **Product Adoption** metrics. - **AI Transformation:** Lead the change in integrating AI into the product lifecycle and the product itself, transforming how the team works and how our customers experience Sonar. ### Experience and qualifications - **Proven Leadership:** 10+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 6+ years in an international leadership capacity managing managers (GPMs/Directors) in fast-paced technical environments. - **B2B Impact:** A track record of delivering large-scale deployments to B2B customers with measurable business impact (e.g., significant revenue growth, enhanced engagement, or operational cost savings). - **Deep Technical DNA:** You are at home serving technical users. You have a deep understanding of Platform infrastructure, APIs, and CLI tools, with the ability to translate these complex concepts into business value for an executive audience. - **Visionary Communication:** Exceptional ability to influence and inspire. You can articulate a "big picture" vision to the C-level while remaining grounded in the technical realities of engineering. - **People First:** A proven ability to recruit, mentor, and retain a multi-disciplinary team. You foster a culture of intellectual curiosity and high-velocity delivery. - **Growth Mindset:** Comfort operating in an organization with 30%+ YoY growth. You are flexible, open to change, and thrive in environments where scaling is a continuous demand. - **AI Literacy:** Hands-on experience with AI technologies and a clear vision for how AI can transform product development and user experience. ### Benefits of Working with Sonar: - We encourage usage of our robust time-off allocations with 27 PTO days for our employees based out of the Geneva region, plus additional days based on seniority and circumstances. - We contribute 60% of the total cost for your pension; 13.5% to 15.5% of your base salary for savings; 2% for risk. - Commuting: Sustainable mobility options, including carpooling and the refund of 60% of the annual transportation subscription. - Global workforce with employees in 20+ countries representing 35+ unique nationalities. - We have an annual kick-off somewhere in the world where we meet to build relationships and goals for the company.
