Tel Aviv · Posted 9D AGO
Cato Networks is the converged network and security cloud for the AI era.
As AI reshapes cybersecurity, enterprises face a dual challenge: unlocking AI’s potential while defending against AI-driven attacks. Cato addresses both through a unified, cloud-native platform, providing the visibility and context to prioritize risks and stop threats in real time across users, applications, data, and AI agents.
Join us as we scale: take on ambitious technological challenges and shape the next generation of enterprise security at a company trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide.
At Cato Networks, we're rebuilding the network from the ground up as a secure, global cloud service. As the leader in SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), we are transforming how enterprises connect and secure their networks. We're looking for an experienced and technically skilled Product Manager to join our Network & Platform team, focusing on the Cato global backbone and platform.
Position Overview
You'll own the Cato backbone and platform strategy and roadmap, with the goal of a stable, resilient network that meets 99.999% availability. You'll be the focal point between Operations and Engineering. You'll define the capabilities that improve the network and drive them from priority to delivery. The role is mostly internal, with occasional work with customers and partners.
Responsibilities
- Own the Cato backbone and platform strategy and roadmap.
- Define requirements for availability, redundancy, resiliency, and failure handling together with Operations and Engineering.
- Set priorities, build the plan with both teams, and follow it through delivery.
- Drive platform decisions on cloud deployments, fabric/interconnect providers, and traffic engineering.
- Work with customers and partners on backbone-related needs as required.
- Strong technical background in network design and architecture, with experience operating large-scale, global platforms.
- Deep understanding of network availability and redundancy: failure domains, failover, capacity planning, and designing for five-nines.
- 5+ years in product management or network operations in cloud or networking environments.
- Knowledge of cloud platform deployments, fabric providers, Service Provider networks, and traffic engineering.
- Strong cross-functional skills: you can align Ops and Engineering and drive execution without direct authority.
- Background in network operations (NetOps/NOC).
