Meet the Team  Our team is dedicated to powering the Cisco Secure Workload platform, a holistic security solution designed to deliver in-depth application workload visibility and protection across hybrid multicloud environments. We function as the architects of Zero Trust micro segmentation, automating policy generation to reduce the attack surface and minimize lateral movement of threats. Our work is critical to the larger picture of cloud-native security, harmonizing inconsistent "islands" of policy controls into a single, effective security model across bare metal, VMs, and containers. We are a highly technical, innovative group with a "cutting-edge" vibe, currently integrating GenAI and eBPF technology to redefine how enterprises manage their application environments. Your Impact  Drive the evolution of workload security by developing and scaling a platform that secures compute instances across on-premises data centers and public clouds. Lead the implementation of behavior-based application insights and AI/ML driven policy automation to protect critical assets from sophisticated cyberattacks. Achieve complete visibility into workload interactions and ensuring consistent policy enforcement at scale. Engineer highly scalable micro segmentation solutions to support large and mega data centers. Integrate a wide technology stack, including Kubernetes, public cloud security groups, and various Linux distributions, to ensure infrastructure-agnostic protection. Optimize telemetry collection using eBPF to reduce agent resource consumption and enhance data accuracy. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree with 8 plus years of experience in Python, Ansible, and Golang with micro segmentation or Zero Trust security architectures. Core Linux/virtualization knowledge (virtual drives, logical/physical volumes) and experience deploying solutions for cloud architectures for AWS, Azure, Nutanix, Open Shift or GCP. Technical knowledge of Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian) and their OS kernels Proficiency in managing workloads across heterogeneous environments (Virtual Machines, Bare Metal, and Containers) Experience with multicloud or hybrid cloud deployment options. Preferred Qualifications Experience with eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) for network monitoring and security. Knowledge of GenAI integration for automating security policy management. Familiarity with Kubernetes, OpenShift, and container orchestration. Strong analytical skills for behavioral detection and vulnerability analysis. Collaborative mindset to work across NetSec, DevSecOps, and Cloud Architecture teams. Why Cisco?
