About the 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.
- We believe code verification is the critical missing link in the Agent-Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC).
Responsibilities
- Own Product Storytelling: Serve as the primary communications owner for product-related narratives.
- Partner closely with technical PMMs to translate product launches, feature updates, and technical differentiation into stories that resonate with developer and technical buyer audiences.
- Campaign-Minded Execution: Develop and execute integrated communications campaigns that map to the full customer journey - from awareness through consideration to retention and advocacy.
- Think beyond individual assets to the arc of how a message builds over time.
- Community Engagement: Build and deepen Sonar's presence in developer communities, technical forums, and open-source ecosystems. Understand how trust is earned in these spaces and what it takes to show up with credibility rather than noise.
- Social Media & Technical Voice: Support and contribute to our social media presence with content that speaks authentically to technical audiences.
- Content & Thought Leadership: Write and develop technical content - blogs, bylines, launch narratives, developer guides - that positions Sonar as an expert voice in code quality, security, and the AI-augmented development workflow.
- Performance & Measurement: Track and report on the performance of product communications and campaigns. Use data to optimize messaging, assess resonance with technical audiences, and demonstrate impact.
- Campaign Architecture: You think in arcs, not assets. You understand how a message evolves across the customer journey, how awareness connects to consideration, and how to design a communications program that compounds over time.
- Community Engagement: Build and deepen Sonar's presence in developer communities, technical forums, and open-source ecosystems.
Requirements
- You have built with AI tools, shipped product, or worked closely enough with engineering teams that you can speak with genuine fluency about how developers think, what they care about, and what earns their trust.
- PMM Foundation: You are likely a Product Marketing Manager today - or have been recently - with a strong pull toward communications, community, writing, and social.
- You know the difference between marketing to a community and earning a place in one.
- Technical Writing & Storytelling: You can make complex things clear without dumbing them down.
Nice to have
- Experience working with technical brands - ideally in developer tools, security, or AI - with a track record of creating content that resonates with engineering and technical decision-maker audiences.
Benefits
- We value diversity, equity, and inclusion At Sonar, we believe that our diversity is our strength.
Company info
- AI-First Content Approach: You use AI tools as a natural part of your workflow - not as a shortcut, but as a multiplier. You understand how AI-generated and LLM-indexed content affects brand discoverability and you design for it.
- We are a global company that values and respects different backgrounds, perspectives, and cultures.
- We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.
