For more than two\ndecades, our unified platform and services have helped organizations protect human- and AI-\ngenerated code from the first line through runtime, reducing risk across applications, cloud,\nand the software supply chain without slowing innovation.\nWe’re trusted by 1,600+ customers in 70+ countries, including some of the largest enterprises\nand governments in the world. Guided by research-led innovation and a developer-first\nmindset, we help every developer, security team, and enterprise build software that is risk-free\nby design.\nWhat are we looking for?\nChiron is a Checkmarx Core Platform R&D team that owns several core domains across our platform - including project and application management and risk management - that help customers understand and act on their security posture. We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the team as a core contributor, owning significant parts of the backend behind these capabilities. The role is backend-first and Go-centric, but you'll also touch the React front end when a feature calls for it - so comfort moving across the stack matters. Quality is a shared responsibility here: our QA partner owns most test automation, but team members regularly pitch in to keep automation coverage moving and avoid bottlenecks.\nHow will you make an impact?\nDesign and develop functional and technical capabilities within Chiron's large-scale, distributed backend systems, making ongoing architecture and design decisions\nTake full ownership of features and product areas end-to-end: architecture, coding, testing, CI/CD, and production observability\nBuild and operate distributed microservices - gRPC/REST APIs, message queues, PostgreSQL-backed services - deployed on Kubernetes\nBuild and maintain React components/pages (e.g., risk tables, single-risk views) that consume your backend services when a feature requires front-end changes\nPartner with our QA team on test automation - pitching in on backend automation in Go and front-end automation in Cypress when needed - to help keep coverage moving and reduce bottlenecks\nUse AI-assisted coding tools as part of your day-to-day development workflow, from writing and reviewing code to test generation and debugging\nWork smoothly with local and remote, multi-geo R&D and non-R&D teams, maintaining high visibility and effective communication\nProvide in-depth technical knowledge, guidance, and mentorship to other team members as needed\nParticipate actively in design discussions and code reviews, holding the team to high execution and quality standards\nRequirements\nWhat is needed to succeed?\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience\nStrong, hands-on background in Go in production systems\nWorking proficiency in React - able to build and maintain UI components/pages, even though the role is primarily backend\nStrong quality awareness - you think about testability and edge cases as you design, and you're comfortable jumping into test automation alongside QA when needed\nComfortable contributing to test automation, ideally backend automation in Go and/or front-end automation in Cypress (or a similar framework, with willingness to pick up Cypress)\nPractical experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) as part of your regular development workflow, and comfortable adopting them as standard practice on this team\nExcellent understanding of modern distributed software architecture: microservices, gRPC/REST APIs, message queues, relational databases (PostgreSQL)\nExperience with Docker and Kubernetes\nExperience developing with modern Agile methodologies (Scrum, CI/CD, TDD)\nQuick to learn new technologies and apply them to complex problems\nHighly organized, with strong quality and delivery discipline; self-managed and flexible to change\nExcellent English communication skills (verbal and written)\nStrong team player\nNice to have\nExperience with Cypress specifically for end-to-end front-end testing\nApplication/cyber security background\nExperience with GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code tooling (Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD)\nExperience with OpenTelemetry or production observability tooling\nWhat we have to offer\nCheckmarx offers a great work environment, professional development, challenging careers,\ncompetitive compensation, great work-life balance, as well as great benefits and perks\nthroughout the year. Checkmarx is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are\nmade without regard to race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation,\ngender identity or expression, age, disability, or other characteristics protected by law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4826,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Cybersecurity","DevSecOps","Vulnerability Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T08:23:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/checkmarx-senior-software-engineer-go","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/checkmarx-senior-software-engineer-go.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T22:35:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":36809,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":49151},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=49151"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcheckmarx-senior-software-engineer-go"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcheckmarx-senior-software-engineer-go"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcheckmarx-senior-software-engineer-go"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/checkmarx-senior-software-engineer-go\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcheckmarx-senior-software-engineer-go"}]}
