Checkmarx, an AI-powered application security platform trusted by 1,600+ customers globally, is seeking a SecOps Engineer to join its Security Operations team as the technical lead for Incident Response and Cloud Security.
You will serve as the senior technical anchor for the security operations function, responsible for monitoring production and corporate environments, responding to security incidents, and continuously hardening cloud, network, and CI/CD infrastructure. This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring deep expertise across multiple security domains.
Key responsibilities include:
• Own and manage the SASE/ZTNA stack, including policy management, network security, and secure access controls.
• Oversee the CNAPP platform, managing workload protection, posture management, and vulnerability prioritization.
• Lead the CI/CD security platform and drive software supply-chain security initiatives across the organization.
• Serve as the primary incident response expert—first responder for critical security incidents, owning detection, containment, eradication, and recovery phases.
• Conduct post-incident root-cause analysis and drive remediation efforts across teams.
• Build and maintain incident response playbooks, runbooks, and conduct tabletop exercises.
• Partner with DevOps and Platform teams to design and implement secure-by-default cloud architecture.
• Contribute to broader security architecture decisions and technology stack evaluations.
• Mentor junior engineers on the team and lead technical reviews of their work.
• Act as deputy to the SecOps Team Lead on strategic security initiatives.
• Participate in the critical-incident on-call rotation.
The role requires a strong technical foundation in cloud security, incident response, and infrastructure hardening, combined with leadership capability to guide and mentor team members. You will be the go-to technical expert during high-pressure incidents and a strategic contributor to the company's security posture.
