It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more).

You'll build the systems behind Cato's security research and help turn that research into product capabilities. You'll work closely with researchers across the group to understand what they need, and you'll own each solution from requirements and architecture through implementation and delivery.
Our team builds platforms for threat intelligence, malware hunting and attack analysis, along with scalable pipelines for processing large volumes of data. AI tools are part of how we design, build, test and research every day.

- Build tools that let researchers investigate threats, develop security content and create detection signatures.
- Design the workflows and infrastructure that bring research outputs into Cato's customer-facing products.
- Build scalable data processing and analysis solutions on the Cato Cloud data warehouse, automate protocol analysis, and integrate with internal and external services.
- 3+ years of server-side development in Python.
- 3+ years of web development with modern frameworks.
- A strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals, including system architecture, code design and end-to-end development.
- Proven ability to turn stakeholder needs into clear requirements and working technical solutions.
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL and Redis.
