For more than two decades, our unified platform and services have helped organizations protect human- and AI-generated code from the first line through runtime, reducing risk across applications, cloud, and the software supply chain without slowing innovation.​ ​We’re trusted by 1,600+ customers in 70+ countries, including some of the largest enterprises and governments in the world. Guided by research-led innovation and a developer-first mindset, we help every developer, security team, and enterprise build software that is risk-free by design. What Are We Looking For? We are looking for a Security Engineer to join our Security Operations team and grow into our SOAR and automation specialist. The team is responsible for monitoring our environments, identifying and responding to security alerts, and continuously improving how we detect and respond to threats. This role focuses on the automation side of the function: building the workflows that make the rest of the team faster, from automated alert triage to enrichment pipelines to response playbooks. You will work closely with senior engineers on the team to build and maintain SOAR content, integrate our security tools, and support detection deployment efforts. This role offers a strong opportunity to grow professionally in the security field, with direct exposure to detection engineering, incident response, and a modern enterprise security stack. How Will You Make an Impact? • Own day-to-day operation of our SOAR platform. • Build and maintain automation playbooks for alert triage, enrichment, ticketing, and notifications. • Build and maintain integrations between SOAR and the broader security stack via APIs. • Monitor integration health, API connections, and credential rotation across automated workflows. • Measure and report on automation impact: alerts auto-resolved, analyst time saved, and MTTR reduction. • Support detection engineering on testing, deployment, and rollout of new content. • Write small scripts to support ad-hoc threat hunting and IR work. • Create and maintain technical documentation for playbooks and integrations. Requirements What Is Needed to Succeed? • 1–2 years of hands-on experience in IT, SOC, or Security Engineering. • Scripting skills in Python; familiarity with JavaScript or Bash is a plus. • Comfortable working with REST APIs, JSON, and webhooks. • Understanding of networking and protocol fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, authentication flows. • Familiarity with at least one SOAR platform is a strong plus. • Exposure to SIEM, EDR, or cloud security tools is a plus. • Attention to detail and structured thinking. • Clear written communication. What we have to offer Checkmarx offers a great work environment, professional development, challenging careers, competitive compensation, great work-life balance, as well as great benefits and perks throughout the year.
