Application security scanning platform for enterprise DevSecOps
Checkmarx scans application code across enterprise development pipelines using a polyglot stack (Java, C#, PHP, Python) integrated with CI/CD orchestration (Jenkins, CircleCI, ArgoCD) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes). The hiring surge in sales (28 roles) outpaces engineering (19) while the company tackles federal-ecosystem expansion and churn reduction—signaling a transition from pure product velocity toward sales-led growth and customer retention at scale.
