Role

Who you are

3–5 years of professional experience designing and operating production data pipelines at scale
Containerization & Orchestration: Expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
Workflow Management: Hands-on experience building DAG-based pipelines in Apache Airflow
Programming: Strong proficiency in Python for data engineering tasks
Distributed Frameworks: Practical experience with Dask or Apache Spark for large-scale data processing
Cloud Fundamentals: Familiarity with deploying and managing services in a cloud environment
Compiled Languages: Experience writing data services in Go or Rust
GCP Proficiency: Hands-on with Google Cloud services (e.g., Pub/Sub, Big Query, Cloud Storage, GKE). Equivalent experience in other public cloud providers is fine
ML Pipelines: Exposure to deploying cross-cluster model-training workflows using Ray or similar frameworks
Infrastructure as Code: Familiarity with Terraform for deployment
Security & Compliance: Knowledge of data governance, encryption, and role-based access control

What the job involves

We’re seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer to design, build, and maintain production-grade data pipelines that process and transform terabytes of data.
In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with data scientists and other SWEs to ensure that our data infrastructure is scalable, reliable, and cost-effective
Architect, develop, and deploy batch and streaming pipelines using Airflow and containerized workflows for cyber-security use-cases
Containerize data-processing jobs with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and manage releases with Helm charts
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
Implement observability (logging, metrics, alerting) to maintain pipeline health and SLA adherence
Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve data-processing failures in production
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
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

Our take

The secure access service edge (SASE) is composed of a complex group of networking and cloud software tools, such as 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 capitalising on this, with its in-cloud and on-premise flexible SASE solutions.

The company faces competition from SASE rivals such as Juniper Networks (where the founders left to launch Versa Networks), and major players like Cisco and Cloudflare. However, startups are pulling in hefty funding, too: Cato Networks is a Unicorn twice over, and Netskope is valued at nearly fourfold that. On top of 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, exemplified by its "pre-IPO" fundraise of $120 million in 2022. The company has positioned itself to deepen its hold on its slice of the market.
