Position: Sr. Staff Software Development Test Engineer (SDET)
Location: West Coast USA + Surrounding Areas


Zscaler is enabling a secure transformation to the cloud for enterprise customers. To transition to the new world of IT, we use a new approach, one that transforms the way applications are accessed and security controls are enforced. Zscaler has two broad products in its portfolio.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA): This redefines private application access. ZPA is a software-defined perimeter service that was built to provide secure connectivity to private applications running in the data center and on the public cloud, without ever placing users on the network. Since the service leverages the Zscaler cloud, not physical or virtual appliances, it redefines private application access and takes a user and app-centric approach versus a network-centric one. This leads to simplified management of network processes, higher application availability, real-time visibility into user access activity, and a completely frictionless end-user experience.

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about working for Zscaler and building high-quality and highly-scalable applications and services. The Emerging Technology group builds and deploys the ZPA service to its customers, and the engineer will work within the development team that works on building ZPA products using various cloud infrastructure (AWS) and open source technologies.
