As an AI-forward enterprise, we are constantly pushing the envelope, leveraging the world’s largest security data lake to power our cloud-native Zero Trust Exchange platform. This innovation protects our customers from cyberattacks and data loss by securely connecting users, devices, and applications in any location.

Here, impact in your role matters more than title and trust is built on results. We say, impact over activity. We seek innovators who actively use AI to amplify their impact and who thrive in an environment where we leverage intelligent systems to stay ahead of evolving threats. We believe in transparency and value constructive, honest debate—we’re focused on getting to the best ideas, faster. We build high-performing teams that can make an impact quickly and with high quality. To do this, we are building a culture of execution centered on customer obsession, collaboration, ownership, and accountability.

We value high-impact, high-accountability with a sense of urgency where you’re enabled to do your best work and embrace your potential. If you’re driven by purpose, thrive on solving complex challenges, and want to be part of the team that’s helping to secure the AI age, we invite you to bring your talents to Zscaler and help shape the future of cybersecurity.

Role

We are looking for a Staff Software Development Engineer - Build/Devops to join our ZIA (Zscaler Internet Access) team. This is a Bangalore role, reporting to the Director, Software Engineering. You will contribute to our cloud-native security service edge (SSE) solution, building on a decade of secure web gateway leadership. By leveraging the world’s largest security cloud, you will help replace legacy network security solutions with a comprehensive zero trust approach that ensures superior defense-in-depth and connectivity for millions of users.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

Design, enhance, and maintain efficient GitLab workflows to streamline code management and CI/CD pipelines
Optimize and maintain build systems such as Make and Bazel to enhance performance and scalability
Build automation tools to manage engineering infrastructure and reduce manual errors
Maintain, monitor, and scale engineering environments to ensure high availability and security
Implement solutions and processes that empower developers to work more efficiently

Who You Are (Success Profile)

You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
