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, Paris, 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 roleNetskope Cloud Data Plane engineers architect and design one of the most scalable, high-performance cloud data planes in the world, processing 10+ Gbps of traffic, performing deep inspection using state-of-the-art techniques like AI/ML to detect activities and apply advanced policies like DLP, Threat and UEBA protection, all at line rate.What’s in it for youIn this role you will be a key member of the team supporting our in-line CASB and SWG products, both of which have been recognized by Gartner as market leaders in their Magic Quadrant reports: What you will be doing Design and develop features on the cloud data planeUse advanced data structures and algorithms in C, C++, PythonBuild services that inspect various network protocols such as HTTP at line rateAnalyze content in real-time to provide securityPerform deep inspection of traffic in near real timeWork on features like DLP and Threat protectionBuild sophisticated key management algorithms Required skills and experience 10+ years of industry experience building high-performance data plane servicesExperience in network and web security technologies (firewalls, web security, IDP / IPS, DNS based security, etc.)Good fundamentals of TCP, TLS, HTTP protocols are a mustHttp proxy experience is a mustProgramming mastery in C/C++ and PythonStrong understanding of computer architecture – multi-threading, CPU scheduling, memory managementGood understanding of algorithms and data structure to implement Real-time inline data processingGood knowledge of Linux at a systems levelStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills using debuggers like gdb and tools like ValgrindProponent of TDD a big plus, knowledge of various unit testing frameworks Education BSCS or equivalent required, MSCS or equivalent strongly preferred #LI-HC1Netskope is committed to implementing equal employment opportunities for all employees and applicants for employment.
