Our take
It has been reported that bug-prone software costs enterprises close to $3 trillion every year, and with developers now handling higher volumes of code than ever, SonarSource’s products automatically ensure that only clean code is embedded when they update software.
The company was founded in Switzerland in 2008, and has become the market leading platform for code quality control. While its first decade was encouraging, the period from 2018 and today has been an astounding period of hyper growth.
It has earned Unicorn status, opened up offices across Europe, as well as in the US and Asia, and counts the likes of Nasa, Microsoft, and IBM amongst its customer base. Indeed, the vast majority of the Fortune 100 use SonarSource.
With its position at the head of the market established, SonarSource is aiming to expand its headcount and continue its momentum, especially in the US and Asia-Pacific, where the tech industry is booming
