Job Description
Who is Sonar?
Sonar helps prevent code quality and code security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it — your internal team, genAI, or third parties — resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable applications. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies. Today, Sonar is used by +7M developers and 400K organizations worldwide, including the DoD, Microsoft, NASA, MasterCard, Siemens, and T-Mobile.
We believe in developing great products that are supported by great internal teams and a strong culture. We are highly committed to and obsessed with the company, users, each other, and our open source community. We have high standards and hold each other accountable for acting with positivity, dedication, thoughtfulness, empathy, and passion daily.
We are deliberate with our decisions with high clarity of intention. At the same time, we feel extreme urgency and move forward quickly.
And lastly, we are highly effective and operationally efficient. We operate collectively as One Team to accomplish our goals.
At Sonar, CODE is more than just an acronym – it's a mindset that defines daily operations.
Why You Should Apply:
At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help supercharge developers to build better, faster. Sonar helps to continuously improve code quality and code security while reducing developer toil. This means that developers can focus on doing more of what they love and less of what they don’t. Our solutions don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we help fix issues at the source – for all code, whether it's developer-written, AI-generated, or from third parties.
We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. Team members should be able to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: supercharge developers to build better, faster.
The Impact You Will Have
As our dedicated Video Producer, your work will directly translate complex technical concepts—around code quality, code security, and DevOps practices—into engaging, digestible, and high-impact educational video assets. You will be instrumental in increasing brand awareness, driving product adoption, and fostering a deep, visual connection with millions of practitioners worldwide. You will craft the visual journey that helps developers write better, more secure code.
What You Will Do Daily:
End-to-End Production: Own the entire video production lifecycle, from initial concept and script development to professional filming, post-production, and final distribution.
Creative Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Developer Content Engineers, Product Marketing, Social Media, and Product Management to transform content ideas and product launches into compelling, on-brand video narratives (tutorials, product demos, feature explainers, customer testimonials, and interviews).
Studio & Field Management: Scout, set up, and operate filming equipment (cameras, lighting, teleprompter, audio) for in-office, remote, and occasional event-based shoots, ensuring consistent high-quality production standards.
AI Expertise: Use the latest and greatest AI video creation tools like Gemini Veo3 in creative ways to expand the possibilities of what we can produce within limited budgets and timeframes.
Post-Production Mastery: Perform professional-level editing, motion graphics, color grading, and sound mixing, ensuring all video assets are optimized for various platforms (YouTube, social media, web) while adhering to Sonar’s brand guidelines.
Strategy & Optimization: Manage a video content calendar, track key performance indicators (views, engagement, retention, conversions), and use data to iterate on content strategy and continuously improve video impact.
Asset Management: Implement and maintain a clear system for organizing and archiving video footage and project files for long-term accessibility and reusability.
Teaching & Inspiration: Act as the subject matter expert within Sonar on video production, teaching and inspiring others across the company so that more people have the ability to create and produce high quality videos on their own that still meet our brand standards.
The Experience You Will Need:
Proven track record (3+ years) as a Video Producer, Videographer, or Editor, ideally within a B2B SaaS or technology company creating technical/educational content.
Expert proficiency with professional video editing and motion graphics software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve) and AI video creation and production tools (Gemini Veo3, Sora, etc.).
Demonstrable expertise in modern studio and field production techniques, including three-point lighting, audio engineering, and DSLR/mirrorless camera operation.
Strong storytelling ability and a passion for simplifying complex technical topics into clear, engaging visual content for a technical audience.
Experience with specialized production techniques such as green screen keying and high-quality screen recording best practices.
Excellent project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
Fluency in English, both written and spoken, with exceptional communication skills for directing on-camera talent and collaborating cross-functionally.
A portfolio demonstrating a range of produced video content is required.
Why You Will Love It Here:
Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!).
Great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly while still being passionate leaders in our domains.
We have a flexible work policy that includes 3 days in-office and 2 days work-from-home each week for those located near our office locations; some locations such as Dubai, India, Japan and Australia operate fully remotely.
We have a growth mindset. We love learning and believe continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are necessary, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.
As the leader in our field, our products and services are as strong as our internal team members.
We embrace transparency with regular meetings, cascading messages and updates on the growth and success of our organization.
Benefits of Working with Sonar:
