Who We Are
We believe collaboration thrives in person. Thatâs why most of our teams work from the office full time, with flexibility when itâs needed. This model supports real-time problem-solving, stronger relationships, and the kind of precision that drives great outcomes.
Job Description
We're seeking innovators - engineers who seek to design new products, designing state-of-the-art products that do not exist today. These engineers love to code with a drive to build global products and bring new ideas to develop security disciplines to solve real-world problems. We are looking for leaders who take ownership of their areas of focus and who are driven to pursue problems at every level. Collaboration is at the heart of our culture and we need engineers who can communicate at a high level and work well with multi-functional teams towards achieving a common goal.
As a member of the Logging and Reporting group, you will be responsible for designing and developing security features on the next-generation firewall platform integrating with our security services cloud. You will work with product management on user requirements, apply your knowledge to functional design, utilize your programming skills for efficient and robust implementation, and interact with quality assurance and field support teams throughout the entire software development cycle.
Your Impact
- Design, develop and execute test automation/manual to test software features on our next-generation security platforms
- Develop functional specifications, assess task requirements and scheduling, and participate in development, debug and support
- Become inventive in testing approaches by building tools and automation scripts
- Suggest and implement improvements to the test process
- File bugs and work with Development to fix issues seen
- Mix in your creative skills with a focused testing approach to produce the best quality products in cybersecurity
- Be involved in a rigorous approach to testing for specifications, assist the team with testing methods or tools for new testing
- You will also have the chance to work on different public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) to automate cloud orchestration, visualization and alerting mechanisms
- Interview, mentor and coach new team members
