Cloud Platform Automation Engineer (f/m/d)

Sonar, Bochum +1

The role

We are still at the beginning of our growth journey, so we are putting new processes, technologies, and tools in place on a continuous basis. Your role is a pivotal engineering contributor to the tooling and services to automate and enhance the software development lifecycle, empowering our fellow SonarSourcers to deliver with speed, confidence, and security. You would be a member of a team that delivers solutions across all of our 5 offices: Austin (Texas, US), Geneva (Switzerland), Bochum (Germany) and Singapore.

What you need

8+ years of hands-on experience in cloud, platform, site reliability, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering in a SaaS, cloud-native, or complex enterprise environment.
Strong AWS experience, including networking, IAM, DNS, logging/monitoring, compute, storage, security controls, and multi-account or multi-environment design.
Deep infrastructure-as-code experience with AWS CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent, including reusable modules, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD delivery.
Strong software engineering and automation skills in at least one of Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, or a comparable language with a heavy emphasis on AI skillsets.
Experience designing production-grade observability: metrics, logs, traces, actionable alerting, dashboards, and operational runbooks.
Demonstrated ability to automate operational controls and remove manual work while preserving appropriate approvals, auditability, and safety.
Experience with incident response, post-incident engineering, root-cause analysis, and translating lessons into measurable reliability improvements.
Sound knowledge of cloud security principles: identity and access management, least privilege, encryption, secrets handling, secure networking, vulnerability management, and logging.
Excellent written and verbal English communication; able to explain technical decisions, risks, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

In-office culture

We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.

Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion

If you need any accommodation, please reach out to us at hiring@sonarsource.com.

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the results of a comprehensive background check and reference verification conducted before the start date.

Applications that are submitted through agencies or third party recruiters will not be considered.
