Job Description

Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!

Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028.

This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!

About the Role

We are hiring Majors Sales Engineers to support strategic and enterprise customers, selling the full Cato platform, including Cato SASE and Cato’s AI Security capabilities.

As a Majors Sales Engineer, you will partner closely with Account Executives to drive new business, expand existing accounts, and serve as the primary technical authority throughout the entire sales lifecycle.

AI Security at Cato Networks

Cato’s AI Security capabilities are natively integrated into the Cato SASE Cloud, extending protection beyond the network layer into SaaS and AI-powered applications. AI Security enables enterprises to securely adopt and govern AI-driven services by delivering real-time visibility, control, and protection against modern risks such as identity abuse, data leakage, misconfigurations, insider threats, and unauthorized AI usage.

This unified approach allows customers to manage networking, security, SaaS, and AI security from a single cloud-native platform.
