About Principal C++ Engineer- Cross Platform (Cortex XDR)

  Our Mission

  At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

  Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

  Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

  Our Approach to Work

  We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your well-being support to your growth and development, and beyond!

  Your Career

  We are looking for a Principal C++ Engineer for our Tel Aviv R&D center.

  The Cross Platform team takes part in the development of Cortex XDR Agent, a disruptive anti-exploit & anti-malware product. The XDR agent is the foundation of most of the Cortex products, providing the “boots-on-the-ground” for Palo Alto’s endpoint protection solutions. The team focuses on the endpoint and works on delivering a cross platform agent for Windows, MacOS & Linux, and builds revolutionary new capabilities to improve security and performance over millions of endpoints.

  We’re looking for a Principal Engineer that could take a leading position in the team, lead features end-to-end by creating and owning particular flows, easily ramp-up on projects old and new and deliver substantial improvements on the whole product.

  More information about Endpoint Protection products can be found here (https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/products/secure-the-endpoint/traps.html) .

  Lead Integration with colleagues on new APIs and flows inside the team and with teams from other teams and groups

  Research complex issues from the field and provide creative solutions

  Serve as a leading individual in a very strong team professionally and personally - We’re looking for someone who not only delivers his own work but improves that of those around them

  Find space for growth to push the entire team or group forward - New projects, changing processes or improving existing tools

  Your Experience

  5+ years of experience developing in modern C++ Rich experience building and owning various software projects with the ability to contribute across the software development lifecycle

  Experience with multi-threaded and multi-process development with a focus on performance

  Positive ‘can-do’ mindset, able to work independently and within a team

  Computer Science B.Sc. or equivalent education or equivalent military experience required

  Experience with operating systems API - an advantage

  Experience with Python development - an advantage

  Experience in the cybersecurity space - an advantage

  The Team

  To stay ahead of the curve, it’s critical to know where the curve is, and how to anticipate the changes we’re facing. For the fastest-growing cybersecurity company, the curve is the evolution of cyberattacks and access technology and the products and services that dedicatedly address them. Our engineering team is at the core of our products – connected directly to the mission of preventing cyberattacks and enabling secure access to all on-prem and cloud applications. They are constantly innovating – challenging the way we, and the industry, think about Access and security. These engineers aren’t shy about building products to solve problems no one has pursued before. They define the industry, instead of waiting for directions. We need individuals who feel comfortable in ambiguity, excited by the prospect of challenge, and empowered by the unknown risks facing our everyday lives that are only enabled by a secure digital environment.

  Our engineering team is provided with an unrivaled chance to create the products and practices that will support our company growth over the next decade, defining the cybersecurity industry as we know it. If you see the potential of how incredible people and products can transform a business, this is the team for you. If the prospect of affecting tens of millions of people, enabling them to work remotely securely and easily in ways never done before, thrill you - you belong with us.

  Our Commitment

  We’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo. It’s simple: we can’t accomplish our mission without diverse teams innovating, together.

  We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals with a disability. If you require assistance or accommodation due to a disability or special need, please contact us at [email protected] .
