The Billing squad is one of the most cross-functional and fastest growing development teams within Sonar. We enable the release of all the new products that Sonar is currently bringing to the market, both for large and small customers.

- Collaborate with UX designers, Product Management, and engineering teams to deliver robust security features alongside an optimal user experience.
Work cross functionally with product squads and go-to-market teams to ensure smooth release of new features and products.

Architect and guide the design of our on-premises and AWS cloud applications.
Oversee feature deployment, production monitoring, and troubleshoot team-specific live issues.
Mentor engineering team members to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers to their autonomy.
Contribute to the definition of the team’s short and long-term goals.
Experience and qualifications
Over 6 years of software engineering experience, including working as a Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, or Software Architect.
Proven ability to take initiative and bring a subject involving several stakeholders and engineers to completion with little to no supervision.
Proficiency in working with and steering AI coding tools (Codex, Claude, etc).
Experience supporting and mentoring other team members.
Proficiency with Java coupled with a strong passion for Clean Code and rigorous software quality standards.
Experience architecting cloud-native applications.
Experience with relational RDBMS (such as Postgres) and SQL.
Domain expertise with billing and payment processing systems (we use Stripe) and/or general experience with subscription management is highly desirable.
