Hybrid

Checkmarx is the enterprise application securityleader and the host of Checkmarx One™ — the industry -leading cloud-native AppSec platform thathelps enterprises build #DevSecTrust .

Description

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?

We are looking for an experienced Team Leader to head our Application Security Research team. You will lead a distributed group of researchers based across Portugal (PT) and Israel (IL), setting direction, growing people, and driving the research that powers Checkmarx products.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you will own the team's roadmap, KPIs, and ways of working while staying close enough to the technical material to mentor researchers and shape solutions.

How will you make an impact?

Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of security researchers working across multiple locations (PT and IL) and time zones.
Own the team's operating model: effort estimation, resource allocation, prioritization, and capacity planning.
Define and track team and individual KPIs and OKRs; turn them into clear, measurable goals and review progress on a regular cadence.
Build and maintain the team's research roadmap in alignment with the broader Security Research group and product strategy.
Run effective async-first rituals (written updates, documented decisions, structured handoffs) so the team stays aligned across time zones without depending on real-time overlap.
Drive a culture of continuous improvement with retrospectives, feedback loops, and iterative refinement of how the team works.
Own each team member's growth: regular 1:1s, career-path planning, skills development, and performance reviews.
Foster an inclusive, high-trust environment that unites team members across locations into one cohesive team.

Research & Technical Leadership

Lead research initiatives across application security, AI security, and emerging technologies . Assessing risks and identifying opportunities to enhance Checkmarx products and security capabilities.
Collaborate and coordinate work with other teams across the Security Research group.
Support Product Managers across the different product units and consult developers on application security topics.
Review and research the security facets of multiple programming languages, technologies, and ecosystems.
Review and analyze vulnerable code across multiple languages and frameworks.
Devise and design solutions and features grounded in application security expertise to bring Checkmarx products to the next level.

Requirements

What is needed to succeed?

Leadership & Ways of Working

3+ years of proven experience as a Team Leader / Engineering or Research Manager.

Strong command of asynchronous working methods , clear written communication, documentation discipline, and decision-making that doesn't require everyone online at once.
Track record of continuous improvement and people development : growing team members, supporting career paths, and raising the bar over time.
Experience defining and managing KPIs/OKRs, roadmaps, and prioritization in a research or engineering context.
Highly organized, with the ability to structure work, manage dependencies, and keep a distributed team aligned.
Cultural awareness and the ability to build cohesion across geographically and culturally diverse team members.
