Sr. Developer - AI

<div class="content-intro"><h1><strong>About Netskope</strong></h1> <p>Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.&nbsp;</p> <div class="gmail_default"> <p>Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Paris, Melbourne, Taipei, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.<strong><span class="gmail_default">&nbsp;</span></strong><span class="gmail_default">&nbsp;</span><span class="gmail_default">Visit us at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.netskope.com/company/careers" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.netskope.com/company/careers&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1571763801107000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG_0Qsg7Ni3rf6BFV0vhT9qFpqb1g">Netskope Careers.</a> Please follow us on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/netskope" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and Twitter<a href="https://twitter.com/netskope" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://twitter.com/netskope&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1571763801108000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEZ06zAk-bkf0dy3gjYjrgdbT5OTg">@Netskope</a>.</span></p> </div></div><p><strong>About the position:</strong></p> <p>As a Senior Developer in Netskope’s Customer Solution Group (CSG), you will design and build AI-enhanced internal tools that improve customer, customer support and success workflows.
