Staff Software Engineer (C#)
Sonar solves the trillion-dollar challenge of bad code. Sonar equips organizations to achieve and sustain a Clean Code state by empowering developers to write consistent, intentional, adaptable, and responsible code. Clean Code produces software that is maintainable, reliable, and secure, allowing development teams to spend less time fixing issues and more time innovating. With Sonar, and by employing the company’s Clean as You Code methodology, organizations minimize risk, reduce technical debt, increase productivity, and derive more value from their software in a predictable and sustainable way.
Sonar’s open-source and commercial products – SonarLint, SonarCloud, and SonarQube – support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Trusted by more than 500,000 organizations and used by more than 7 million developers globally to clean more than half a trillion lines of code, Sonar is integral to delivering better software.
The impact you can have
SonarLint is a plugin for popular IDEs, with the aim to help developers fix code quality and security issues before they exist by analyzing and highlighting issues on the fly as you code. In addition, SonarLint integrates with our server products SonarQube and SonarCloud to further enhance the development experience.
Our team is looking for a talented C# developer passionate about creating great products to join our IDE squad and focus primarily on the SonarLint extension for Visual Studio. Your mission is to help the team make SonarLint a tool all developers love to use in their IDE.
On a daily basis, you will
- Lead the execution of sprints within the squad developing SonarLint for Visual Studio (do specification, write code and tests, review code from peers, validate features, release).
- Be a key contributor to an Open-Source tool that .NET developers know, use and love.
- Overcome performance challenges in a complex, thread-heavy runtime environment.
- Push the limits of what can be done with the APIs of the Visual Studio extensibility SDK.
- Leverage the power of SonarCloud and SonarQube in the IDE, while ensuring a great developer experience in the IDE.
- Continuously improve the CI pipeline supporting the development and release processes of our squad, dogfooding the Sonar products.
- Collaborate with Product Managers and peers to define new features and set priorities, ensuring that the solutions fit into the Sonar ecosystem.
- Contribute to the definition of the team’s short and long-term goals.
- Engage with the Open-Source community, other SonarSourcers, and the Support team and integrate their feedback.
- Actively contribute to the overall SonarLint team improvement by performing design and code reviews, challenging the status quo, improving processes, and sharing technical knowledge.
- Bring your very own touch to the Sonar culture by participating in circles, initiatives and any of the various expressions of our collectively intelligent approach to work.
- As part of the role, you will participate in an on-call rotation to provide timely support and address any critical system issues that may arise outside of regular working hours.
The skills you will demonstrate
- Proven track record in software development with a strong focus on C# and the .NET ecosystem.
- Ability to develop with clean code principles and practices.
- Excellent engineering skills and a good understanding of Computer Science fundamentals.
- Fluency in source code quality: tests (unit and functional), CI/CD, and code reviews.
- Leadership: you take initiative and can bring a subject to completion with little to no supervision. You help others improve by supporting and mentoring them.
- Experience with agile practices and principles.
- Comfortable in dealing with change and ambiguity.
- Self-confidence to challenge the status quo as well as to be challenged.
- Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
Nice to have
- Experience with developing Visual Studio extensions.
- Experience with WPF.
- Experience using and configuring static analyzers as part of the development process.
- Experience in Java.
