Security Architect

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, Exabeem, 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!

The Security Architect will ensure that all systems, platforms, assets, and data across the organization are properly defined, mapped, and governed. This includes validating configuration correctness, ensuring data remains within its intended boundaries, and confirming that all system-to-system flows, integrations, and access patterns meet our security and architectural standards.

This is a systems and data-level architecture role that requires a strong understanding of how modern connectivity, SaaS environments, and security solutions operate, especially as organizations increasingly adopt AI-driven capabilities. The architect will help guide the company toward clearer visibility, stronger control, and more reliable, automated decision-making around connectivity and access.

Responsibilities

• Map all organizational systems, data flows, integrations, and dependencies to create Zero Trust end-to-end architectural view.
• Develop processes and frameworks for classifying systems, defining ownership boundaries, and ensuring consistent governance across environments.
• Validate the correctness of access flows, connectivity rules, and system configurations to align with Zero Trust and other security best practices.
• Build and maintain the data and architectural baselines.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams through processes such as Design Reviews.
• Participate in vendor onboarding, architecture assessments, and ongoing governance processes.
• Create High Level Design (HLD) for systems and technologies to be implemented by the SecOps, OPS, IT, and AppSec teams.
• Contribute to the creation of clear documentation, diagrams, standards, and presentations for both technical and executive audiences.
• Ensure alignment with frameworks such as NIST and similar industry standards (without serving as an audit or certification lead).
  
  

• 3–5 years of experience in Security Architecture, SecOps, GRC, or related domains.
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust, SaaS ecosystems, modern IT environments, and cross-platform integrations.
• Ability to think both abstractly and operationally, bridging conceptual models with practical enforcement.
• Proven experience working in organizations similar to Cato with many cloud/SaaS systems.
• Strong communication skills - ability to explain architectural concepts clearly, produce high-quality documentation, and build impactful presentations.
• Collaborative mindset and experience working across multiple technical and business teams.
• Strong cybersecurity orientation and understanding of the security lifecycle.
• Familiarity with SSPM and CNAPP platforms.
  
  

• Experience with FedRAMP and FIPS.
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Slack, and other collaboration platforms.
• Experience in advanced IT environments or security-heavy SaaS companies.
