Staff Security Researcher

**About Netskope**:
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.

Within Netskope Engineering, we have invented a Next Generation SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) tool that gives enterprises workload and compliance visibility to protect critical data within their numerous Software-as-a-Service deployments. The research team for this product works as content producers, pathfinders and minesweepers. The researcher's duties are to discover the best solutions to the problems our customers are facing before they know they have them and to find flaws in our design choices before we engineer them.

**About the role**:
We believe Netskope's SSPM team is the best place for you to work if you seek:

- An opportunity to shape the design of a novel product and have a significant role on the impact it makes in the enterprise security domain.
- To solve intellectually rewarding problems with a meaningful purpose.
- A position with high agency and trust on how you choose to work.
- An amazing work environment, competitive compensation, benefits and great perks.

**Responsibilities**:
Some examples of the problems the team needs to solve could include:

- Implement security and compliance content to the product. Help make the correct security configuration decisions on behalf of our customers.
- Explore different threat vectors for cloud services.
- Support multiple stakeholders such as engineering, research, product management, customer success, and customer support teams as a domain expert.
- Public writing and presentation opportunities, such as publishing articles, blogs or papers in relevant conferences.

**Essential Qualifications**:
BS (MS Preferred) - Computer Science, Information Security or comparable experience.

**Domain Experience**:
The technical domains you would be working on day one would benefit from demonstrable familiarity of the following:

- Experience from security analysis work, pentesting, enterprise SaaS deployment hardening duties or from security content development.
- Proficient in scripting language of one's choice to be able to solve technical problems with code.
- Experience with public cloud security and other security solutions is an asset. Experience on novel product development, API-based automation and programming are great merits as well.

**Additional Skills**:

- Great written and verbal communication skills.
- Management, coaching, mentoring and leadership skills.
- Fast learner, intuitive and creative. Comfortable working in unknown domains.
