What are we looking for?

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.

How will you make an impact?

• Define and own product roadmaps across your assigned portfolio, aligned with company strategy, customer needs, and the evolving threat landscape.
• Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of features — from ideation and requirements through delivery, launch, and iteration.
• Drive structured early access and customer validation programs, working directly with design partners to shape product direction before GA.
• Collaborate with R&D, UX, security researchers, sales, and field teams to refine requirements and ensure both technical feasibility and business impact.
• Prioritize the product backlog using company strategy, customer feedback, user data, and competitive insights — including active monitoring of a fast-moving competitive landscape.
• Engage directly with customers, partners, and field teams to understand pain points, validate usability, and gather adoption feedback.
• Work closely with marketing, enablement, and documentation teams to ensure impactful releases and go-to-market success.
• Define and monitor key KPIs such as adoption, detection accuracy, coverage, false positive rates, and scanning performance.

Requirements:

What is needed to succeed?

• 5+ years of proven product management experience in technical security or developer tooling domains.
• Demonstrated ability to build products in emerging or ambiguous spaces - comfortable owning a roadmap where the category itself is still being defined.

• Skilled at working with developers and UX teams to turn complex technical challenges into intuitive, high-value solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to define and communicate technical requirements clearly to R&D teams.
• Hands-on, proactive problem solver with strong ownership and a "can-do" attitude.
• Excellent communicator with strong presentation and interpersonal skills - comfortable presenting roadmaps and validating requirements directly with enterprise customers.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to prioritize, multitask, and make data-driven decisions.

Advantage:

• Familiarity with modern development toolchains, including AI-assisted development environments and agentic workflows.
• Experience with application security platforms (SAST, SCA, or similar).
• Prior experience as a software developer.
