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!

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.

Requirements

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.

Advantages

Background in network operations (NetOps/NOC).
