Every day, we protect over 100,000 organizations worldwide from increasingly sophisticated cyber and AI-driven threats, securing their AI transformation.\nOur prevention-first approach safeguards hybrid networks, cloud environments, digital workspaces, and AI systems, stopping attacks before they happen.\nThis is where innovation meets real-world impact. You’ll help customers across industries operate with confidence in a rapidly changing digital world, working alongside smart, curious people who take ownership, challenge assumptions, and solve complex problems.\nWe’re proud to be recognized by TIME, Newsweek, and Forbes for excellence and workplace culture.\nWhat really sets Check Point apart is the opportunity to grow, contribute, and help companies navigate their AI transformation securely.\nIf you’re excited to work at the forefront of AI-driven security on a global scale, this is the place to do it.\n We are looking for a security programmer to help us build the next generation AI container network security system.\nThis role sits at the intersection of systems programming, network security, and cloud-native infrastructure.\nWhat You'll Do\nHelp design and implement traffic inspection and prevention components that run in-line within Kubernetes clusters (as a DaemonSet, sidecar, or CNI-integrated component)\nBuild or contribute to protocol parsers and signature/rule-matching engines\nContribute to an AI-assisted signature generation pipeline\nWork with the Linux networking stack to intercept and act on traffic with acceptable latency overhead\nHelp ensure the data path is efficient enough to run under the resource budgets typical of Kubernetes workloads\nCollaborate with detection research and cloud security teams to translate threat intelligence into enforceable rules and behaviors\n Professional experience in Rust or C/C++ (comfort with both, or willingness to pick up the second, is a plus - not a hard requirement)\nSecurity background - experience with developing security products - such as IPS, firewall, researcher, API security, etc\nGeneral familiarity with Kubernetes and at least one public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - production experience is preferred, but strong infrastructure/networking experience elsewhere is also welcome\nComfort working on systems/infrastructure-level software rather than purely application-level code\nHands on AI SDLC experience\nCurious\nTech savvy\nGood communication skills\nIndependent\nAdvantage\nExperience with DPI engines, protocol parsers, or signature-matching systems (e.g., Snort/Suricata-style rules)\nExposure to ML/AI approaches for anomaly detection, classification, or rule generation\nLinux kernel/networking internals: netfilter/nftables, eBPF/XDP, TCP/IP, TLS\nKubernetes networking specifics: CNI, NetworkPolicy, service mesh data planes (Envoy/Istio)\nContainer runtime/isolation experience: containerd/CRI-O, namespaces/cgroups\nLow-latency/high-throughput systems experience (zero-copy design, lock-free structures)\nFamiliarity with attacker techniques and IPS/IDS evasion\nComfort with ambiguous, greenfield technical work","description_format":"text","description_chars":3132,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Security","Cloud Security","Threat Intelligence","Information Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T19:51:49Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:11","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/check-point-software-technologies-security-software-engineer-container-network-security","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/check-point-software-technologies-security-software-engineer-container-network-security.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T00:24:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":370,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4630,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
