Principal Engineer, Observability

Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security. 

About the role

As a Principal Engineer specializing in Observability platform on the Observability Engineering Team you’ll lead the design and development of mission critical components that underpin our next generation of observability solutions. You will work closely with cross functional teams to architect scalable, resilient and distributed components of the platform. You will be responsible for technical innovation, and ensure highest standards of reliability, performance and scalability. 

Our platform leverages cutting edge technology to monitor, analyze and optimize performance, reliability and security across distributed environments. You have a chance to be part of something great and industry leading player scale system. Our ingestion pipeline consumes 3 times the scale of Twitter.
