Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our Approach to Work

We offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond

At Palo Alto Networks, we believe in the power of collaboration and value in-person interactions. This is why our employees generally work from the office with some flexibility offered where needed. This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate on the industry’s best cybersecurity solutions together

Job Description

Your Career

The Xpanse ASM feature teams are expanding, and we’re looking for a Principal  Software Engineer. 

Xpanse helps protect some of the world’s most important organizations by finding risks on the Internet that no one else can find. Our product engineering teams are responsible for building the user-facing security products that allow customers to turn trillions of Internet data points into critical cybersecurity insights. 

Your Impact

As a Principal Engineer on a feature team, you will:

  • Drive projects from requirements to complete design and implementation, often as project lead
  • Collaborate closely with product management, UX design, and fellow engineering stakeholders to align efforts across the product
  • Cultivate a big-picture perspective that enables you to spot existing and impending problems, then work with senior engineers and leadership across the department to analyze and solve them
  • Mentor engineers in your team and others, ensuring your team delivers high output
  • Represent your team in cross-team technical collaboration and consultation
  • Continuously seek ways to make a substantial impact on your team and the broader engineering organization
  • Design, build, and optimize data models and queries for speed and scale, using data storage technologies like MySQL and BigQuery
  • Design and build business logic and API endpoints using Python and Flask
  • Build user interfaces using Angular
Qualifications

Your Experience

  • 5+ years of industry experience as a professional software engineer building customer-facing software for a SaaS business
  • Significant experience providing technical leadership of teams building enterprise features on a multi-tenant SaaS platform at scale (examples - role-based access, SAML integrations, feature flag frameworks)
  • Excitement to dig in, prototype, build, test, and see projects through to production
  • Ability to balance shipping new products and features with addressing technical debt and investments in architecture and infrastructure
  • Strong familiarity with databases, data modeling, profiling, and performance optimization
  • Strong understanding of various methods and tradeoffs for handling concurrency
  • Experience with and informed opinions about API design and distributed backend systems
  • Significant experience with Python
  • Knowledge of GCP (a plus but not required)


Additional Information

The Team

In this role, you will be an integral part of the group that enables customers to engage with their data through our web application. You will design and build data models, APIs, and user interfaces in collaboration with other engineers, and own end-to-end delivery of customer-facing features. You will draw upon your experience to rapidly investigate and prototype new functionality, then switch to implementation mode to deliver products. You will guide and mentor your team in enterprise software development, architecture and technical design, and the evaluation thereof. You will represent your team in technical roadmap planning and cross-team design review sessions, working regularly with senior engineers from other teams, as well as architects, UX designers, and product managers.

Your expertise will help define and secure the perimeters of the world's most important organizations.

Our Commitment
