Netskope
About this role
Netskope does cloud and AI security at large scale, and Engineering Stack Support is the team that
keeps Netskope's own engineering stacks healthy: availability, latency, performance, efficiency,
change management, monitoring, emergency response and capacity planning. It is described as a bridge
between service owners and platform engineering, applying a software engineering mindset to
application debugging and system administration, so you write code as well as operate systems. The
work is Unix and Linux troubleshooting with Java, Python or Go, Ansible, Kubernetes, SQL and NoSQL
datastores and CI/CD. One detail worth reading: the posting says the team hires across all levels and
that candidates are individually assessed and levelled on their skills, so the 5 year figure is a
floor rather than a wall. Apply if you like being the person who works out why the platform is slow.

Who this is for
Requirements. 5+ years of experience troubleshooting Unix and Linux. Experience with algorithms, data
structures, complexity analysis and software design. Experience in one or more of Java, Python or Go.
Experience in a large scale web operations role. Hands-on experience with Ansible, Kubernetes, SQL
and NoSQL datastores, and CI/CD.
What the team does. Engineering Stack Support (ESS) is a team of software engineers focused on
improving availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency
response and capacity planning of the engineering stacks. It creates a bridge between service owners
and platform engineering by applying a software engineering mindset to application debugging and
system administration.
⭐ Levelling, stated in the posting. "Please note, this team is hiring across all levels and candidates
are individually assessed and appropriately leveled based upon their skills and experience." Netskope
has said the same on other postings we have carried. In practice that means the 5 year figure is the
stated floor and the actual level is decided after assessment, so it is worth applying if you are
close rather than exactly on it.
Location. Bengaluru.
Who this is for. An SRE or infrastructure engineer with five or more years who wants internal
platform reliability work at a security company, and who is comfortable that the job mixes writing
software with system administration rather than being purely one or the other. If you want customer
facing incident work, note this team supports engineering stacks, not customers.
