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.
Job Responsibilities
- Understand the various use cases and work flows for native/browser access of SaaS apps and support the app access requirements/use cases via Netskope reverse proxy solution. Also maintain & enhance the access control features for the supported SaaS apps.
- Work on re-architecting the deep packet inspection module to make it intelligent and scalable, with the goal of achieving higher accuracy in activity detection across a wide range of SaaS applications.
- Work on identifying a smart, scalable solution to reduce the cost of building and maintaining SaaS app connectors, which are responsible for providing deeper visibility into application activities.
- Work closely with the product management team on the new apps support & to define new access control use cases.
- Involve in the complete development life cycle starting with understanding various requirements, understand/define functional specs, development with high efficacy/quality & measure the efficacy based on production data.
- Identify gaps in existing solutions/processes and bring in innovative ideas that help evolve the solution over time.
- Work closely with the technical support team to handle customer escalations. Analyze the product gaps that resulted in customer issues and improve the signature resiliency and test strategy.
