Company mission

To address the security and networking challenges that Enterprises and Service Providers face, and connect branch offices, home offices, and users to applications wherever they exist.

Role

Who you are

  • We expect you to have hands-on experience in software development methodologies and usage of tools
  • Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 5 – 10 years of hands-on experience in switching/routing/security companies
  • Candidate MUST have strong hands-on experience in C/Linux and debugging skills
  • Prior knowledge in any of Switching/Routing/L2-L7 services is a must
  • Prior working knowledge in DHCP/SIP/IPSec is highly desirable
  • Prior working knowledge in L2/L3 control plane is a plus

What the job involves

  • As an L2/L3 Software Development Engineer at Versa Networks, you will work on developing and testing the latest networking products and technologies.
  • Work with engineering teams to develop and debug new features
  • Write/maintain design and architecture documents
  • Improve performance, scalability, and features of the product
  • Help improve product quality and performance through regular technical feedback

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.
