Design and implement automation for provisioning, configuration, scaling, upgrades, and maintenance of Checkmarx components
Build Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent
Automate routine operational tasks (engine lifecycle, scan queue tuning, data retention, index maintenance, backups)
Reduce toil by converting manual operational work into resilient, self‑healing automation
Own and enhance Checkmarx integrations with CI/CD platforms (GitHub, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Harness, etc.)
Ensure seamless developer experience with pipeline‑based security scanning and fast feedback loops
Implement and maintain full‑stack observability (metrics, logs, alerts, dashboards) using tools such as Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, AppDynamics, etc.
Drive proactive monitoring rather than reactive firefighting
Lead platform upgrades, hotfixes, and vendor‑recommended lifecycle management
Drive containerization and cloud‑readiness initiatives for Checkmarx components where applicable
Improve resiliency through active‑active / DR strategies, backup validation, and BCP testing
Evaluate new Checkmarx features, plugins, and security scanning enhancements
Serve as SME and technical escalation point for Checkmarx across the enterprise
Mentor engineers and promote SRE best practices, automation standards, and operational excellence
