Senior Software Engineer, Frontend (Xpanse) - Palo Alto Networks

Our Mission

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

Our Approach to Work

We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond!

At Palo Alto Networks, we believe in the power of collaboration and value in-person interactions. This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective. This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together!

Your Career

As a senior front-end engineer at Xpanse, you will be an integral part of shaping the future of Cortex Xpanse. We’re in the midst of building compelling new Attack Surface Management features and refining existing ones. You’ll work with your team-mates to design, build, ship, and maintain features that help our customers prioritize what findings to act on based on their relative risk, and in general shift their security posture from a reactive to a proactive one.

You'll join Xpanse at a key moment in its evolution. We're working hard to build applications that help customers make sense of—and effectively act on—the vast volume of security data they are bombarded with. Alongside building new software, we'd like you to mentor your less experienced colleagues and use your experience to make our whole organization better at planning, communication, and execution. We're looking for people who thrive in collaborative, social working environments, and who are looking to teach as well as learn from others.

• Build fast, security-conscious, and intuitive applications

Your Experience

• Experience w/ built, shipped, and supported modern web applications in production 
• Solid production experience with at least one modern front-end framework—bonus points if that framework is Angular
• Understand that being a great front-end engineer doesn't just mean being good at JavaScript—you have a strong understanding of functional cross-browser HTML and CSS
• See and sweat the details
• Have an eye for, and firm opinions on, application architecture that scales with teams
• Are experienced with and enjoy mentoring colleagues—you foster a collaborative learning environment
• Impartially weigh risks and benefits when considering new software patterns or technologies

The Team

Cortex Xpanse helps protect some of the world's most important organizations by finding risks on the Internet that no one else can find.

Our engineers are passionate, motivated and don't shy away from building products to solve problems no one has pursued before.  We need individuals who can go from ambiguity to clarity, don't shy away from the prospect of a challenge, and are thrilled about making the internet a safer place, everyday.

Our Commitment
