Senior Software Developer

As the world's leading vendor of Cyber Security, facing the most sophisticated threats and attacks, we've assembled a global team of the most driven, creative, and innovative people. At Check Point, our employees are redefining the security landscape by meeting our customers' real-time needs and providing our cutting-edge technologies and services to an ever-growing customer base.

Check Point Software Technologies has been honored by Time Magazine as one of the World's Best Companies for 2024. We've also earned a spot on the Forbes list of the World's Best Places to Work for five consecutive years (2020-2024) and recognized as one of the World's Top Female-Friendly Companies. If you're passionate about making the world a safer place and want to be part of an award-winning company culture, we invite you to join us.

We're looking for a Senior Software Developer who can design systems that scale, help developers grow into stronger engineers, and make AI tools part of the team's everyday workflow, not just their own.

Major Responsibilities

• Own system design and architecture decisions across your team's services, partnering with product managers and architects to turn business requirements into solid, scalable technical designs
• Mentor developers through code review, pairing, and ongoing technical guidance, and help shape their growth as engineers
• Partner with DevOps/SRE and platform teams to design and run services in customers environments.
• Bring AI tools into the team's daily work - coding assistants, automated review, test generation - and keep exploring new ones yourself
• Set the bar for engineering practices across the team: testing, code quality, technical documentation, and CI/CD

Must Have

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 1+ years mentoring developers or setting technical direction for a team
• Strong system design skills, with a track record of owning architecture decisions for complex, high-scale distributed systems
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS or similar), including deploying, operating, and troubleshooting containerized services at scale
• Strong backend programming skills in Python
• Daily, hands-on use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, or similar), and genuine curiosity to keep learning new ones
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive, reliability-first mindset across product, architecture, and cross-functional partners

Nice to Have

• Experience in cyber security, threat intelligence, or another high-scale enterprise SaaS domain
• Familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK stack, and defining SLOs
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka) and caching layers (Redis)
• Experience acting as a technical point of contact or escalation point across multiple teams
