The posting

Who are we?​

Checkmarx is the AI-powered application security leader helping the world’s most security-

conscious enterprises secure the software that powers modern life. 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?​

As we continue to evolve our platform, we're looking for an exceptional Software Architect Staff to help shape the next generation of our cloud architecture and AI-powered engineering platform.

If you're passionate about solving complex distributed systems challenges, driving architectural excellence, and defining how AI transforms software engineering, we'd love to meet you.

​How will you make an impact?​

  • Lead architecture and evolution of Checkmarx's cloud-native SaaS platform.
  • Lead the organization's transformation from a traditional Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to an AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC), defining the vision, architecture, and best practices for AI-native software engineering.
  • Take an active role in designing, building, and evolving Checkmarx's next-generation agentic development platform, enabling developers to leverage AI agents throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
  • Design highly scalable, resilient, secure, and highly available distributed systems.
  • Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, and development teams to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Produce high-quality architecture documents, technical designs, RFCs, implementation plans, and long-term technology roadmaps.
  • Stay hands-on by building proof-of-concepts, validating new technologies, reviewing critical designs, and contributing to production code when needed.
  • Drive platform-wide improvements around scalability, reliability, observability, performance, and operational excellence.
  • Guide engineering teams through architectural decisions using technical leadership, collaboration, and influence.
  • Mentor engineers and technical leaders while promoting engineering best practices across multiple R&D teams.
  • Present architectural strategies and technical proposals to audiences ranging from developers to senior leadership and business stakeholders.

Requirements

What is needed to succeed?

  • 10+ years of experience designing and building large-scale distributed software systems.
  • Proven experience as a Software Architect, Principal Engineer, or similar technical leadership role.
  • Deep expertise designing and operating cloud-native SaaS platforms at scale.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and modern cloud architecture.
  • Strong Kubernetes expertise, including experience with technologies such as KEDA, Karpenter, and modern autoscaling strategies.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, scalability, high availability, resilience, disaster recovery, and performance optimization.
  • Strong knowledge of modern database technologies, data architecture, and large-scale data platforms.
  • Excellent architecture documentation and technical writing skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.
  • Experience collaborating with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, and software development teams.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence technical direction without direct authority.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A hands-on mindset—you enjoy building, experimenting, validating ideas, and working directly with engineering teams.

Nice to Have

  • Experience building AI-native systems or integrating Large Language Models into production environments.
  • Experience designing or implementing AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) processes.
  • Experience building developer AI platforms, coding agents, agentic workflows, or engineering automation systems.
  • Experience with technologies such as Model Context Protocol (MCP), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agent orchestration frameworks, or AI evaluation platforms.
  • Experience developing production software using Go, Java, Node.js, and .NET Core.
  • Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is required. Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure is a plus.
  • Experience presenting architectural strategies to technical and executive audiences.
  • Experience designing or building enterprise-scale Data Lake platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
