We are hiring for a Principal/ Senior Backend Engineer to join our fast-paced KSPM (Kubernetes Security Posture Management) team in Cortex Cloud, located in our TLV office. Cortex Cloud is our company' next-generation cloud security solution.
In this role, you'll be key in developing and scaling the core parts of our KSPM solution. Our team's goal is to help Cortex Cloud customers understand and fix security issues in their Kubernetes workloads across all major cloud providers.
The ideal candidates are software engineers with a "can-do" attitude and a passion for solving real customer problems. You should be a person who wishes and is able to work closely with the team and our partners across Cortex Cloud to make decisions and drive features end-to-end.
For us, caring about people is not a slogan; we are looking for individual contributors who enjoy and want to work with great people and collaborate on delivering business value across PANWs vast customer portfolio.
Your Impact
End-to-end backend development of features and core components across the software development life cycle (design, develop, test, deploy, maintain)
As a principal software engineer, independently drive and collaborate with others to deliver high impact features in the KSPM domain
Work with customers and provide solutions to their day-to-day work and challenges
Contribute to team-wide efforts - code reviews, design reviews, technical and architectural decisions.

As a Senior or Principal Software Engineer in Cortex Cloud, you will contribute to the development and scaling of cloud-native security solutions for enterprise organizations. This role involves working within an established team to evolve a high-traffic product, with a focus on refining architecture, optimizing the technology stack, and maintaining engineering standards.
Your responsibilities include writing reliable code, influencing product direction, and designing distributed systems. You will be expected to make technical decisions that impact the long-term stability and performance of cloud workload protection services.
AI Integration & Engineering Workflow
A core component of our development process is the use of AI. Rather than basic code completion, we integrate AI assistants as functional components of our workflow. Our team utilizes a multi-agent AI system (IDEX/ProDex) that assists across the development lifecycle: from planning and architecture to code analysis and security reviews.
In this role, you will:
Work with AI Tools: Utilize platforms such as Gemini, Claude, and Cursor for tasks beyond code generation, including root-cause analysis, system design reviews, and architectural assessment.
Develop AI-Augmented Workflows: Help refine how AI is integrated into the SDLC, including the orchestration of agents and the development of internal tools that extend AI capabilities across our codebase.
Maintain Quality Standards: While AI assists in increasing velocity, you are responsible for the technical output. This includes critical review of all generated code and ensuring that AI-assisted work aligns with our architectural requirements and security benchmarks.
Interact with Specialized Agents: Coordinate with AI agents (Product, Architecture, Security) that operate on shared context to assist in managing complex engineering tasks.
We are looking for engineers who are interested in leveraging AI as a technical tool to manage complexity and who want to contribute to the practical application of human-AI collaboration in a cloud environment.
