Sr. AI Security Engineer

Netskope builds cloud and data security products, and this seat is on the Security Intelligence Operations team inside Platform Engineering, which is the group that builds and runs the infrastructure Netskope's own products run on. Despite the AI in the title, the posting describes an infrastructure security engineer: you protect production infrastructure, design security systems, do implementation planning, process engineering, security configuration and standards reviews, and run incident response analyses. It reports to the Senior Director of that team. Netskope also states on this listing that the team hires across all levels and levels candidates individually after assessment, so the 5 year figure derived from its education clause is a floor rather than a ceiling. Bengaluru based.

What the posting requires: a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or engineering, or comparable education and experience, which it defines as typically obtained by five or more years of related work experience. That sentence is the only experience figure in the posting, so treat 5 years as the floor. Beyond that: sound grasp of cybersecurity practice; broad technical knowledge of Windows, Mac and Linux, networking protocols, cloud infrastructure, security devices (firewalls, IPS and IDS, DLP) and SIEM tooling (Splunk, Sumo Logic, Elastic, Kibana); hands on secrets management and PKI including HSMs, certificate generation and re key operations at scale; deep practical virtualisation experience (ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM, Kubernetes, OpenStack); strong networking fundamentals including the OSI model, SDN and cloud VPCs; hands on public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure); a track record running projects from scoping through documentation; experience across both commercial and public sector environments; and broad Linux administration across varied distributions.

The day to day: designing, building and operating security systems; monitoring the security environment and identifying gaps; preparing security reports from collected data and trends; determining security requirements from business strategy and researching standards; running system security and vulnerability analyses and risk assessments; conducting incident response analyses; and mentoring less experienced team members and running training.

Location and office reality: Bengaluru. Netskope's India engineering base.

Who this is for: an infrastructure or platform security engineer, not a machine learning specialist. If you came for AI model security this is not that job, and the honest read of the requirement list is production infrastructure security with PKI and virtualisation depth. The hiring across all levels note means candidates well past 5 years are also in scope.
