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 talented and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join the Cato Apps Team (AI) — the team building Cato’s next-generation AI infrastructure and intelligent agent ecosystem, powering how customers interact with Cato’s SASE platform.

This team is at the forefront of Cato’s AI innovation, building AI-native systems and agentic infrastructure that transform how IT and security teams operate, troubleshoot, and make decisions.

In this role, you’ll help shape and build the foundation of Cato’s AI-powered management and support experience, directly impacting thousands of global customers by making Cato’s platform smarter, faster, and easier to use.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Cato’s Agentic Infrastructure, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies to build highly scalable, AI-native end-to-end services — from backend logic and service integration all the way to AI-first products such as Cato’s AI Assistant.
• Build and optimize real-time, scalable microservices that process and enrich large volumes of networking and security data.
• Collaborate closely with AI/ML engineers, product managers, and UX designers to define and deliver intelligent, conversational capabilities.
• Contribute to the architecture and infrastructure of Cato’s AI systems, ensuring performance, reliability, scalability, and security.
• Drive innovation and bring new ideas for AI-based automation, autonomous workflows, and insight generation across the platform.
  
  

Requirements

• 7+ years of software development experience, preferably in cloud-native environments, including hands-on experience building AI-driven applications and working with modern LLM ecosystems.
• Strong understanding of modern AI/LLM concepts and architectures, including RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, vector databases, agents, and orchestration frameworks.
• Strong programming skills in Java with a deep understanding of distributed systems and APIs.
• Experience with microservice architectures, message queues, and real-time data processing.
• Experience building highly scalable backend systems and AI-native services.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a product-oriented mindset and strong attention to user impact.
