Data Scientist

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. Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner.

Cato is the brainchild of networking and security pioneers Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and Gur Shatz (Incapsula.) Cato Networks has raised $773 million dollars since 2015, achieving Centaur status with $100M+ in ARR, and a valuation of $3 billion dollars.

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!

We are looking for a talented and experienced Data Scientist to join our Security Data Science team. In this critical role, you will have access to vast amounts of network traffic data and lead the application of data science to security and networking challenges. Utilizing Cato Cloud data warehouse, you will develop new models and algorithms to protect Cato clients worldwide. This is a great opportunity to join a Cloud Network & Security Rocket Ship and to take part in the SASE revolution.
