Your Career

We are looking for a Code Infrastructure engineer to join a new initiative in the Cortex XDR agent group.

The Cortex XDR Agent is a disruptive anti-exploit & anti-malware product, is the foundation of most of the Cortex products, providing the “boots-on-the-ground” for Palo Alto’s endpoint protection solutions. The new hire will join an initiative across the security R&D group that focuses on agent dev velocity. The new hire will join a task force that sets their own roadmap and focuses on bringing the most value to the developers - increasing velocity and quality.

The role revolves mainly around developing an e2e testing framework, written in Python, setting up innovative CI processes and incorporating 3rd party tools to the development process from design to deployment.

We’re looking for a versatile individual who’s always looking for ways to improve processes, learn and add new tools and find their own path forward based on developer feedback. The ideal candidate has Python as his strongest language, has experience with CI tools and processes and can learn and utilize new technologies quickly.
