Words from the team

As a team, we build best-in-class software and add technical capabilities to max out other teams' contributions to the product, in order to deliver the SonarQube roadmap in a timely manner. We manage to cut dependencies, as we are collaborating with Backend and Frontend developers, UX designers, a Documentation geek, a Release Engineer and a DevOps specialist.

By best-in-class software, we mean our software should be robust, secure, scalable, operable, maintainable, usable and reliable. 

By joining us, you will be part of an autonomous team that has a direct impact on the product, that owns and defines its best way of building cool things and having fun together, and that is always evolving.

Every day we are focused on solving developers’ next big problem.
