Backend developer Jobs in Austin, TX

The Impact You Will Have:

• Create the courses, labs, and learning content that teach Sonar customers and partners how to get maximum value from SonarQube — accelerating adoption, reducing time-to-value, and building lasting product competency.
• Help build Sonar's Partner Accreditation Program from scratch, developing the sales and technical content that enables partners to independently deliver Sonar revenue motions at scale.
• Bridge the gap between complex technical capabilities and the people who need to use them — whether that's a developer integrating SonarQube into a CI/CD pipeline or a partner SE leading a customer migration.
• Contribute to a growing education function that is central to Sonar's commercial strategy, with your content directly influencing partner-led pipeline and customer retention.

What You Will Do Daily:

• Research, write, and maintain high-quality course content for both customer and partner audiences — covering topics including SonarQube installation and configuration, Agentic software development methodology, CI/CD integration, and migration paths from SonarQube Server to SonarQube Cloud.

• Develop content across formats: written modules, video scripts, lab exercises, knowledge checks, and assessment questions — working closely with Instructional Designers to bring each course to life.

• Adapt existing customer-facing content for the partner persona, ensuring the framing, depth, and emphasis are appropriate for partner AEs, BDMs, SEs, and implementation engineers.

• Publish and maintain courses in the LMS, keeping content accurate and up to date as the product evolves.

• Collaborate with technical SMEs, Product, and Customer Success to ensure all content is technically accurate and reflects real-world workflows.

• Use AI tools to accelerate content development, improve consistency, and scale output without sacrificing quality.

• Identify gaps in the learning catalog and proactively propose content to address them, informed by customer feedback, support trends, and product releases.

Experience Needed:

• At least 3 years of experience creating technical content for developer or technical practitioner audiences — tutorials, documentation, eLearning, or similar.

• A working understanding of software development practices: you're comfortable discussing CI/CD pipelines, code quality concepts, DevOps workflows, and cloud vs. self-hosted deployment models.

• Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, structured, accessible content — without dumbing it down for the audience who needs it.

• Experience working across content formats, including written and video (scripting, on-camera, or voiceover experience is a plus).

• Familiarity with LMS platforms and the mechanics of publishing and maintaining eLearning courses.

• Strong collaboration skills — you work well with SMEs, Instructional Designers, and cross-functional stakeholders to produce accurate, polished output.

• Hands-on experience with SonarQube (any edition) is a strong advantage; familiarity with static analysis, SAST, or code security concepts is a plus.

• Experience writing for both customer and partner/channel audiences is desirable but not required.

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.
