Build high-throughput data transformations using Dask or Apache Spark
Maintain training data clusters across hybrid (on-prem and cloud environments)
Optimize training jobs for performance, resiliency, and cost
Monitoring & Reliability:
Implement observability (logging, metrics, alerting) to maintain pipeline health and SLA adherence
Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve data-processing failures in production
Collaboration & Best Practices:
Work with cross-functional teams to define data contracts, schemas, and quality checks
Enforce software engineering best practices: CI/CD, code reviews, automated testing, and documentation
Data Modeling & Storage:
Design and maintain data models and schemas for AI/ML continuous training use cases
Load data into cloud storage and lakes, ensuring performance and accessibility
Qualifications

Our take

The secure access service edge (SASE) is composed of a complex group of networking and cloud software tools like software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), secure web gateways (SWG), and firewall-as-a-service. SASE itself functions to better deliver cybersecurity tech, and as such it’s big business right now. Versa Networks is capitalizing on this, with its in-cloud and on-premise flexible SASE solutions.

While the company faces competition against SASE rivals such as Juniper Networks (where the founders left to kick off Versa Networks), and major players like Cisco and Cloudflare. Startups are pulling in hefty funding, too: Cato Networks is a Unicorn twice over, and Netskope is valued at nearly fourfold that. Add to that the current SASE market is set to grow from its 2021 $3 billion valuation to $6 billion by 2028.

This should come as no surprise. SASE sits at the juncture of the lucrative and high-growth sectors of cloud computing, cybersecurity, and networking, and is expected to have a sweeping addressable market as more businesses pivot onto the cloud. Versa Networks is set to hold its own against well-funded startups and acquisitive enterprises, recently completing a "pre-IPO" fundraise of $120 million, the company has positioned itself to deepen its hold on its slice of the market.
