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, Exabeem, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $25 billion by 2027.
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’re looking for a hands-on Automation Engineer to partner on improving Cato’s QA processes. The initial focus is to extend our Java-based framework and test infrastructure with AI capabilities for analysis, stability, and faster feedback. This role involves learning on the fly, experimenting, and collaborating across teams to shape approaches that may evolve as we progress.

- Establish reliable validation flows within CI/CD and help create fast, actionable feedback loops for developers.
- Improve observability of tests to aid debugging and decision-making.
- Contribute to shared standards, code quality, documentation, and knowledge sharing across Automation efforts widely.

- Open-source models & ecosystems (e.g., Llama, Hugging Face Transformers)
- Orchestration & RAG frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex)
- Vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate, Milvus)
- Experience with UI automation testing frameworks and tools.
- Demonstrate strong debugging and troubleshooting skills; self-starter with ownership, able to prioritize and meet deadlines; comfortable learning new technologies quickly.
