Senior Staff Engineer, Configuration and Synchronization

About Netskope

Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. Netskope was founded to redefine Cloud, Network, and Data Security by building a new perimeter in the cloud that follows and protects data wherever it goes.

Since 2012, Netskope has built a market-leading cloud security company with an award-winning culture. We have hundreds of employees across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Paris, Melbourne, Taipei, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, fostered by open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition and social groups like the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive, and interactive.
