What’s in it for you
The Netskope Private Access (NPA) team is a cross-functional group of talented engineers responsible for the end-to-end development of NPA. As a member of this team you will play an integral part in the continuing development and evolution of this service.
What you will be doing
- Design and develop high-performance, low-latency data-path components that terminate zero-trust tunnels and forward network traffic to private applications
- Work across the end-to-end data path and related control path — from cloud services to software deployed in customer environments
- Own the full software lifecycle beyond the data path: host-OS provisioning and upgrades, image packaging (OVA, VHDX, AMI), and deployment across public clouds and on-prem hypervisors
- Debug and root-cause complex data-path issues end-to-end — from packet captures and kernel/network-stack behavior to multi-hop tunnel analysis
- Monitor, triage, and resolve alerts and production issues in a large-scale global environment
Required skills and experience
- 5+ years building high-performance networking software — not just socket programming, but packet-level processing and event-driven architectures
- Programming mastery in C/C++ with solid unit and integration testing practices; Golang is a plus
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of TCP/IP, TLS, DNS, IP routing and NAT, with strong Linux systems-level fundamentals
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills — able to root-cause production issues from packet captures, logs, and metrics
- Docker/k8s and Linux host provisioning (OS upgrades, image building, cloud VM images) a plus
- Proven ability to leverage AI-powered coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate development and maintain code quality
Education
- BSCS or equivalent required, MSCS or equivalent strongly preferred
