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 DevOps Engineer to join our team. This is a hybrid role based in San Jose, CA 3 days a week, reporting to the Director, Software Development Engineering in the Identity team department. As a Staff DevOps Engineer, you will focus on managing development and infrastructure demands, steering systems architecture, maintaining support and security, deploying systems, and supporting peer developers.

- Work with the team to control costs and optimize cloud utilization
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines
- Evangelize and instruct Software Engineers in DevOps philosophy

- 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.
- You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.

- Experience hosting 24x7 services in public cloud providers AWS/GCP(AWS is must) with automation and orchestration using tools such as Terraform, Cloudformation, or Ansible
- Experience managing and deploying Kubernetes resources using Helm charts. Proficiency with gitlab (or similar tooling), or similar CI/CD tools
- Working knowledge of Databases & SQL (Postgres preferred) and experience with cloud-based architecture building blocks like message queuing, in-memory caches, and load balancing
