Staff Engineer - Container Security

Description

The company makes a breach containment platform that finds and stops threats across hybrid multi-cloud setups, and it has been named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Microsegmentation.

The engineering team values visionary leadership, autonomy and ownership, and works on Zero Trust segmentation with a stack that covers operating systems, distributed applications and UI and visualization tools.

Responsibilities

• Build a new way to orchestrate Zero Trust segmentation down to the application and pod level, finding attack paths that can be easily blocked in container environments.
• Learn and improve container platforms including Kubernetes, Istio, OpenShift, AKS, EKS and GKE.
• Own and design critical features and subsystems, settle the details, and defend your design to peers.
• Deliver an implementation that is elegant, simple, scalable, stable, secure and supportable, since the product protects critical infrastructure at large enterprises.
• Mentor junior engineers, new grads and interns so they grow and contribute to the team.
• Work with the field organization and key customers to shape the product.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or an equivalent field.
• 8+ years building distributed, scalable software systems, including large ones.
• Strong skill in at least one higher-level language such as Go, Python or Java.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and related technologies, and a genuine interest in them.
• Solid grounding in data structures, algorithms, networking concepts and debugging.
• General knowledge of TCP/IP networking and experience in a Unix or Linux environment.
• A master's degree is a plus.
• Experience with networking and security controls is a plus.

Conditions

This is an on-site role five days a week at the Sunnyvale, CA headquarters.

The role involves software and technology subject to U.S. export controls, and any offer depends on your ability to work in compliance with them.

The company values diverse backgrounds, and for roles in San Francisco and Los Angeles it considers applicants with arrest and conviction records.
