Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!

Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028.

This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!

We’re looking for a visionary Senior System QA Networking to join our Automation teams. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of Automated tests using our Java-based framework. Our Automated tests cover various aspects of the product, including complex networking topology, traffic, security rules, and user's authentication scenarios.
