Team Lead - AI Security for Coding Agents

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! Cato is building the future of AI Security - a platform that enables organizations to adopt AI boldly while keeping it governed, observable, and secure.

Help shape how the industry solves one of the biggest challenges of our time: letting AI agents move at incredible speed without compromising security or governance. What You Bring 3+ years leading full-stack engineering teams, with a strong preference for staying hands-on with code and architecture. 5+ years of strong full-stack software engineering experience. Deep expertise across AWS, Kubernetes, backend services, APIs, databases, and modern frontend/UI development . Strong backend skills in Python, Node.js, Go , or similar languages. Proven track record owning complex product domains from initial design through production and ongoing evolution. Excellent product intuition and the ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Design, field teams, and customers. Genuine curiosity about AI coding agents , modern developer workflows, and the future of AI-assisted software engineering.
