Sr. Staff Engineer, Cloud Data Backend

About NetskopeToday, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security. Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Melbourne, Taipei, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events (pre and hopefully post-Covid) and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.Visit us at Please follow us on and Twitter.About the rolePlease note, this team is hiring across all levels and candidates are individually assessed and appropriately leveled based upon their skills and experience.As a Sr. Staff Engineer on the Data Engineering Team you’ll be working on some of the hardest problems in the field of Data, Cloud and Security with a mission to achieve the highest standards of customer success.
