At Sonatus, we’re driving the transformation to AI-enabled software-defined vehicles. Traditional automotive software methods can’t keep pace with consumer expectations shaped by the mobile industry—where features evolve rapidly, update seamlessly, and improve continuously. That’s why leading OEMs trust Sonatus to accelerate this shift. Our technology is already in production across more than 6 million vehicles on the road today and rapidly expanding.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 250+ employees worldwide, Sonatus combines the agility of a fast-growing company with the scale and impact of an established partner. Backed by strong funding and proven by global deployment, we’re solving some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the industry. Join us and help redefine what’s possible as we shape the future of mobility.

Sonatus is seeking a highly motivated Senior IT Systems Engineer to architect and scale our global infrastructure. As a key technical lead, you will move beyond traditional support to build a programmatic, automation-first IT environment, with a heavy focus on API-driven integrations and seamless user lifecycle management. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who thrives on connecting disparate systems like our HRIS, IdP, and ERP platforms to create a friction-free, self-service experience for a global workforce. We are looking for a meticulous, "systems-thinking" professional who can balance complex project work with the day-to-day management of our global lab and network operations.

You will report to the Manager of IT Systems Administrations.
