MEET THE TEAM

Cisco Systems is offering an outstanding opportunity to be part of a small, innovative team with a low process, high throughput culture. The team is working on Cisco Defense Orchestrator, which manages policy and configuration of Security Business Group’s firewalls and security services. We are looking for an energetic engineering lead who can help define and drive our cross-appliance policy and configuration management architecture.
Cisco Defense Orchestrator (https://www.getcdo.com) is a SaaS product deployed on the public cloud that enables Cisco security customers to manage their security policies simply, consistently, and effectively across their entire portfolio of firewalls and services.
Starting out in 2014 with zero lines of code as an Alpha project (Cisco-funded startup), we have moved fast, releasing new features to our customers every week and going from 0 to over 3000 customers (including many household names).
Our product is built using a micro-services architecture written in Java and Node.js, and an intuitive UI built on Angular. Our core development team comprises multiple scrum teams split across the UK, Israel, and the United States. Our scrum teams have a great degree of autonomy and are encouraged to come up with creative solutions to sophisticated problems. We work on one-week sprints, with fully automated CI and release into facsimiles of production multiple times a day. We do not believe in silos — every developer is responsible for ensuring their feature is tested at every level (from end-to-end to unit tests), and we operate in a DevOps environment where developers with curiosity about learning to run large, scalable cloud services are responsible for deploying and managing our production environment on a rotational basis.
While we work hard, we do like to have fun on a regular basis whether it’s going on a team event or have a beer at a local bar. While we often work to aggressive deadlines, we recognize the importance of a work/life balance and are supportive of fitting your work around your life rather than the other way round.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science of related field
• 5 + years of work experience architecting innovative, scalable SaaS products
• 5 + years of technical depth in core Java, with a focus on scalability and security
• Cloud experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Experience working with CI/CD (e.g. Jenkins or similar)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with security technologies including firewalls, IPS, Web Security
• Experience working in a start-up environment
• Experience working with NodeJS
• Ability to deliver high quality features with extensive automation coverage, including experience applying test driven development methodology
• Agile software development experience
• Experience with network configuration products
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to a wide range of audiences spanning executives to junior engineers
• Experience developing multiple products from conception to shipping
• Ability to do test-driven development and mentor others
• Experience leading distributed teams and running projects across multiple locations
