Senior Software Engineer – CMA Platform Team

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, Exabeem, 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 CMA Platform Team – the team building the core platform and shared services that power how Cato developers build and ship products.
In this role, you’ll design and develop scalable platform capabilities and internal solutions that will be used by engineering teams across Cato. From authentication and RBAC to cross-cutting services and developer-facing APIs, your work will be at the heart of Cato’s management and control plane, enabling other teams to move faster, safer, and with greater consistency.
You’ll work on backend services, integration patterns, and platform abstractions that provide a solid, secure, and observable foundation for dozens of products and features.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain core CMA platform services used by multiple product teams (e.g., authentication, RBAC, account lifecycle, shared configuration, and more).

• Develop scalable, resilient microservices that operate in near real-time and support high-throughput, global production environments.

• Provide clear, well-documented APIs and SDKs that improve developer experience and make platform capabilities easy to adopt.

• Collaborate closely with other engineering teams to understand their needs and translate them into reusable platform features and best practices.

• Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

• Drive technical excellence in the platform’s architecture, including reliability, security, observability, and performance.

• Evaluate and integrate third-party technologies where it makes sense to accelerate the platform roadmap.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of backend or platform development experience, preferably in cloud-native environments.

• Strong programming skills in Java with hands-on experience in Spring Boot and building distributed systems.

• Proven experience designing, building, and operating microservices in production (Docker, Kubernetes, observability stacks such as Grafana/Prometheus – strong advantage).

• Experience with authentication/authorization concepts (e.g., OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, identity management) – advantage.

• Familiarity with SaaS / cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) – advantage.

• Experience with web/backend development stacks (e.g., Go, GraphQL) – advantage.

• A team player with excellent collaboration and communication skills.

• Able to self-learn new technologies, work independently, and solve complex problems in a dynamic environment.

• BSc. degree in Computer Science or a related field from a recognized university.

Why join Cato:
Cato Networks is the world’s first SASE platform, connecting and securing enterprises with cloud-native simplicity. Joining Cato means working with passionate engineers who reinvent enterprise networking and security. As part of the CMA Platform Team, you’ll have a direct impact on the foundations that every Cato developer relies on, shaping the building blocks behind our next generation of products and features.
