About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of AI-native operations, enterprise platform engineering, and IT service management. You will own how Sonar designs, builds, and operationalizes AI-augmented systems across its internal technology ecosystem — engineering AI agents and connectors, automating workflows end-to-end, and integrating our enterprise tool stack, with Jira Service Management and the Atlassian suite as one core platform among several.

Responsibilities

  • Designing, building, and operationalizing AI-native capabilities across Sonar's internal stack — Claude MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations, custom Claude skills, Rovo agents, and Enterprise Apps connectors.
  • Administering, configuring, and continuously evolving Jira Service Management — including service catalog design, SLA management, queue configuration, request type rationalization, and automated routing.
  • Managing the full Atlassian Cloud ecosystem (Jira Software, Confluence, JSM, Guard, Loom, Trello, Bitbucket) with deep expertise in governance, user access management, project templates, and platform health monitoring.
  • Designing and implementing sophisticated workflow automations — using Atlassian Automation, REST APIs, and third-party middleware — that eliminate manual processes and scale operations without adding headcount.
  • Building and maintaining integrations between Atlassian and adjacent enterprise systems (Slack, HR platforms, identity providers, monitoring tools) using webhooks, APIs, and marketplace apps.
  • Owning JSM Assets configuration, data integrity, and lifecycle management across IT hardware, software licenses, and configuration items (CIs) — ensuring a reliable, audit-ready source of truth.
  • Defining and enforcing ITIL-aligned processes including incident management, change management, problem management, and access management — translating business needs into governed, automated workflows.
  • Ensuring platform configurations adhere to SonarSource's data protection, access control, and audit requirements.
  • Supporting external audit engagements (KPMG, PwC) with documentation and evidence packages.
  • Partnering with all internal teams (HR, Finance, Legal, IT, Security, GTM) to identify automation opportunities, gather requirements, and deliver continuous improvements — acting as a true internal platform consultant.
  • Proactively identifying opportunities to modernize internal processes, adopt new platform capabilities, and drive the platform roadmap forward in partnership with the BizTech BackOffice lead.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with AI-native platforms and building on them — Claude/Anthropic, MCP, agent frameworks (Rovo or equivalent), connectors, and prompt-based workflows.
  • 5+ years hands-on administration of Jira Service Management (JSM), Jira Software, and Confluence Cloud in enterprise, multi-team environments.
  • Deep knowledge of JSM request types, workflows, SLAs, queues, automations, and service catalog design.
  • Proven experience building workflow automations using Atlassian Automation and/or third-party tools.
  • Comfortable with REST APIs, webhooks, and JSON for system integrations.
  • Experience with adjacent enterprise systems — identity providers (Okta, JumpCloud), collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom), or business systems (NetSuite, BambooHR, Salesforce) — is a strong differentiator.
  • Experience configuring and maintaining a CMDB or IT asset management system (JSM Assets, ServiceNow CMDB, or equivalent).
  • Strong understanding of ITSM processes and ITIL v3/v4 frameworks — including incident, change, problem, and request management — with the ability to configure platform workflows that enforce these processes at scale.
  • Understanding of IT General Controls (ITGC), access governance, and audit-readiness requirements.
  • Exceptional analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Highly autonomous and pragmatic.
  • Strong decision-making skills, with the ability to prioritize across competing demands and manage multiple concurrent initiatives.
  • Self-confident enough to challenge the status quo.
  • Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Collaborative by nature.
  • Leadership mindset.
  • Values 'done' over 'perfect'.
