About this role

<div class="content-intro"><h1><strong>About Netskope</strong></h1> <p>Today, 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.&nbsp;</p> <div class="gmail_default"> <p>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 and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.<strong><span class="gmail_default">&nbsp;</span></strong><span class="gmail_default">&nbsp;</span><span class="gmail_default">Visit us at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.netskope.com/company/careers" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.netskope.com/company/careers&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1571763801107000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG_0Qsg7Ni3rf6BFV0vhT9qFpqb1g">Netskope Careers.</a> Please follow us on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/netskope" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and Twitter<a href="https://twitter.com/netskope" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://twitter.com/netskope&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1571763801108000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEZ06zAk-bkf0dy3gjYjrgdbT5OTg">@Netskope</a>.</span></p> </div></div><p><strong>About the role</strong></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please note, this team is hiring across all levels and candidates are individually assessed and appropriately leveled based upon their skills and experience.</span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Netskope 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.</span></p> <p><strong>What’s in it for you</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this role you will be a key member of the </span><a href="https://www.netskope.com/products/next-gen-swg"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NG-SWG</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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:</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.netskope.com/why-netskope/gartner-swg-magic-quadrant"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Netskope SWG in Gartner 2022 SSE Magic Quadrant</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.netskope.com/why-netskope/gartner-casb-magic-quadrant"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Netskope CASB in Gartner 2022 SSE Magic Quadrant</span></a></p> <p><strong>What you will be doing</strong></p> <ul> <li>Develop expertise in our cloud security solutions, and use that expertise and your experience to help design and qualify the solution as a whole.</li> <li>Involve in requirements gathering from Product Managers and design discussions.</li> <li>Understand the use cases and workflows of SWG solutions.</li> <li>Design test plans &amp; test strategy documents and closely work with the development team to cover all aspects of the features being developed.</li> <li>Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts using tools like Pytest Framework, Robot Framework, Selenium or similar.</li> <li>Be able to own and make quality decisions for the solution.</li> <li>Follow the Test process, QE best practices and suggest improvements&nbsp;</li> <li>E2E ownership from feature testing to production deployment to monitoring &amp; alerting.</li> <li>Work closely with the development team and other stakeholders in various phases of product development to ensure alignment with strategy, planning, risks, and mitigations.</li> <li>Work closely with the technical support team to handle customer escalations.
