Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!
Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028.
This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!
We are looking for a highly technical Product Enablement Data Engineer to design, generate, and manage realistic data feeds that power our cloud-native cybersecurity and networking platform.
In this role, you will focus on traffic generation, attack simulation, SaaS configuration automation, and telemetry validation—ensuring our platform reflects real-world customer environments and behaviors.
The Product Enablement team is responsible for unlocking the full potential of our platform through engaging, hands-on learning experiences. You will play a critical role in helping customers understand the technical value of our solution by creating realistic scenarios that mirror real-world use cases.
To scope requirements and get feedback, you will collaborate within our team of content developers and lab engineers, as well as product management, engineering, sales engineers, and other enablement teams. To develop and deliver finished products that meet the requirements, you will collaborate closely with our lab engineers and content developers, as well as other data engineers throughout the organization.
Unlike traditional data engineering roles, this position focuses on generating synthetic yet highly realistic network traffic and security behaviors to drive product validation, analytics, and enablement outcomes.
What You’ll DoDesign Realistic Traffic & SaaS Simulations
Build repeatable simulations of SaaS application traffic (e.g., collaboration tools such as Zoom)
Simulate network conditions including latency, jitter, packet loss, and bandwidth shaping
Develop traffic generation tools and orchestration workflows for scalable, repeatable scenarios
Intrusion & Threat Simulation
Design and implement attack simulations aligned with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK
Simulate real-world threat behaviors, including:
Lateral movement
Command-and-control (C2) traffic
Data exfiltration
Brute force and credential abuse
Build modular, reusable attack simulation libraries
Validate detection accuracy against simulated attack patterns
SaaS Configuration & API Automation
Configure SaaS environments to ingest and process simulated traffic
Leverage APIs to:
Provision tenant environments
Configure policies and product features
Retrieve telemetry and system data
Automate configuration and deployment workflows
Cloud-Based Traffic Infrastructure
Deploy and manage cloud environments (AWS and/or Azure) for traffic and attack simulation
Configure VPN connectivity into SaaS-managed environments
Maintain scalable infrastructure for consistent testing and demos
Data Validation & Observability
Build dashboards to monitor data integrity, telemetry completeness, and detection behavior
Implement alerting for data gaps or system degradation
Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshoot telemetry or pipeline failures
Requirements
10+ years of experience in networking and/or cybersecurity
5+ years of experience in data, network, or security engineering
Strong programming skills in Python
Experience working with REST APIs and authentication workflows
Hands-on experience with Azure (AWS is a plus)
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform)
Experience generating network traffic using tools such as Scapy, tcpreplay, or iperf
Strong Linux experience, including networking tools (tcpdump, curl, ip, netstat)
PowerShell scripting for Windows automation and system provisioning
Deep understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, TLS)
Experience configuring VPNs and secure connectivity
Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK or similar frameworks
Preferred Qualifications
Networking or security certifications (e.g., CCNA)
Experience building demo or lab environments
Experience supporting enablement or training platforms
Experience with GraphQL APIs
Experience simulating adversary behavior in controlled environments
Familiarity with traffic shaping tools (tc, netem)
Experience with observability platforms (Grafana, ELK, Prometheus)
Background in cybersecurity, SASE, or networking products
This role ensures our platform behaves as it would in real customer environments—through realistic traffic patterns, authentic attack simulations, and validated telemetry.
The environments you build will directly impact how we demonstrate, validate, and deliver our product to customers. Your work will help improve detection accuracy, strengthen product validation, and elevate the quality of our demos and enablement experiences.
Cato provides a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits plan. Benefits for this role include health/vision/dental insurance, 401(k), stock options, Health Savings/Flexible Spending Accounts, flexible time-off, paid parental leave and disability benefits.
