Software Engineer; Masters

Staff Software Engineer (MS) The Team

Engineering - Our engineering team is at the core of our products and connected directly to the mission of preventing cyberattacks. We are constantly innovating — challenging the way we, and the industry, think about cybersecurity. Our engineers don't shy away from building products to solve problems no one has pursued before. We define the industry instead of waiting for directions.

We need individuals who feel comfortable in ambiguity, excited by the prospect of a challenge, and empowered by the unknown risks facing our everyday lives that are only enabled by a secure digital environment.

Join a Research and Development (R&D) team to make a global impact by preventing successful cyber attacks. In this role, AI knowledge and hands-on experience are imperative to your success, as artificial intelligence is central to how we defend systems and engineer modern security solutions. Your projects will provide real, hands-on experience working directly on cutting-edge platforms across our Strata, Prisma, Cortex, and AI Security organizations.

We are seeking engineers passionate about technology and cybersecurity, with opportunities in Software Development (including AI/ML & Data Science), Embedded Systems, and Distributed Systems.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy software solutions with agility and rapid iteration.
• Use and experiment with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, internal agents) to boost productivity and improve code quality.
• Help define and evolve new engineering practices that leverage AI for code generation, testing, documentation, refactoring, and operations.
• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in peer reviews and team design discussions.
• Contribute to the automation of development, deployment, and monitoring processes as part of a Dev Ops culture.
• Continuously learn and apply new AI technologies, frameworks, and techniques that can enhance developer workflows.
• Participate in team retrospectives and help drive improvements in team velocity and product quality.

• Masters degree earned between December 2026 - May/June 2027 in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering or a similar field.
• Strong programming skills in either Python, Java or C/C++.and experience working with Machine Learning concepts.
• Proficiency with AI coding tools or concepts of AI-DLC.
• Familiarity with Networking fundamentals (for Embedded & Distributed Systems positions).
• An understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science.
• Exemplify strong initiative and ability to work independently with limited direction.
• Ability to work cross functionally with other engineers, researchers and Product Managers.
• Excellent communications skills and an interest in Cybersecurity.

• Exposure to large language models (LLMs) or AI/ML APIs, even through personal projects.
• Familiarity with cloud environments (GCP, AWS or Azure) and containerized development (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with modern developer tools such as CI/CD pipelines, observability platforms, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Exemplify strong initiative and ability to work independently with limited direction.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with other engineers, researchers, and Product Managers.
• Excellent communication skills.
• A demonstrated interest in Cybersecurity.
