• Department: Cloud Data Path
• Employer listing date: 22 September 2026

Responsibilities and work described

• Netskope Secure Web Gateway (SWG) governs how global enterprises reach the web and cloud, and Real-time Protection (RTP) policy is how customers define what is allowed, blocked, or inspected
• The RTP team builds the backend services and APIs that manage that policy and deliver it to the Netskope platform worldwide
• We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to architect, build, and scale these services
• This is a hands-on IC role with genuine ownership: you take services from design through production and are accountable for how they behave
• We work in an AI-augmented engineering culture
• AI tools accelerate us, but the engineer is always the author
• Service Architecture and Implementation
• Design, build, and scale concurrent, robust microservices and APIs in Golang
• AI as a Force Multiplier, You as the Reviewer
• Use AI coding agents daily; specify problems precisely, push for generic reusable solutions, and reject output that adds technical debt or security flaws
• Codebase Stewardship
• Keep code lean and purposeful, consolidate common patterns so duplication goes down, and judge PRs on correctness, edge cases, tests, and abstraction level
• Distributed Systems Correctness
• Propagate policy configuration reliably to a global dataplane, reasoning about consistency, idempotency, caching, and failure modes
• Customer Issue Resolution
• Troubleshoot bugs and issues raised by customers in a timely manner, and turn recurring ones into structural fixes

Essential requirements and candidate background

• Background. 8+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years on backend services and distributed systems
• Golang Depth
• Golang skills across interface and package design, error handling, concurrency, performance profiling, and table-driven unit testing; hands-on with Gin and gRPC
• Clean Code Mindset
• Lean, readable, purposeful code; you know when an abstraction is earned and when it is premature
• Practical AI Tooling Experience
• Real-world use of LLM-based coding agents, with examples of steering them toward correct solutions and catching what they missed
• Review Insight
• Evaluate PR quality and give specific, well-reasoned feedback that improves both the code and the engineer
• Distributed Architecture
• Microservice patterns, REST/gRPC API design, event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka ), and caching (e.g., Redis )
• Databases
• NoSQL and SQL databases such as MongoDB and MySQL, including schema, sharding, and index design
• Cloud-Native Delivery
• Develop, deploy, and debug services on Kubernetes (e.g., Helm ), and write application-level metrics (e.g., Prometheus )
