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 Software Engineer (Reliability) to join our team in San Jose, CA, reporting to the Vice President of Engineering. This is a hybrid role three days a week onsite within the Service Platform Automation department.
You will build and operate the orchestration and reliability automation that manages ZIA’s fleet lifecycle at massive scale. This is a high-ownership role: you will design and implement orchestration workflows and the supporting services needed for safe, deterministic, idempotent fleet operations—while helping the team evolve toward AI-first execution and operations.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
-
Replace legacy Python/Ansible with a centralized, deterministic orchestration platform, refactoring automation into modular, well-defined workflows while retiring external dependencies and nested logic

-
Implement safe rollouts using segmentation, canaries, and automated health checks to limit blast radius during fleet-wide upgrades and remediation
-
Add strong observability and auditability (metrics, traces, replayable histories), participate in on-call rotation, and drive software based fixes to reduce toil following post-incident reviews
-
Integrate AI/LLM capabilities to accelerate legacy code migration and enhance safe operational outcomes through intelligent triage, correlation, and automated runbook generation
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.
-
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.
-
You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
-
BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field with 5+ years of experience building and operating production-grade software systems
-
Strong proficiency in backend/systems languages (Go, Java, C++, or Rust) with the ability to write high-quality, maintainable code
-
Deep experience designing and operating distributed systems, including concurrency, failure handling, performance optimization, and data modeling
-
Proven track record of building automation using REST APIs and Swagger with strong guarantees for idempotency, verification, and safe rollout patterns
-
Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP, GKE, Cloud SQL etc.) and proficiency in containerization and CI/CD workflows using Docker and GitLab
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
-
Experience with Temporal (or similar platforms) to architect large-scale fleet systems for patching, upgrades, and remediation using deterministic, health-gated workflows and replay-safe designs
-
Testing discipline for orchestration and state machines, including E2E harnesses, determinism verification, fault injection, and chaos engineering to ensure system reliability
-
Proficiency in PostgreSQL, including SQL development and schema management, to power high-scale, stateful management-plane services and workflows

Title: Senior Application Security Engineer
Location: Austin, TX / Dallas, TX / San Jose, CA / Morristown, NJ (hybrid)
Reports To: Sr. Manager, Cybersecurity
About Hippo
Hippo exists to protect the joy of homeownership. We believe that insurance should protect the things you treasure through an intuitive, modern experience. We provide tailored insurance coverage and preventative maintenance plans that keep you protected throughout your homeowner journey. We’ll also help you find coverage for everything life brings—from auto to flood—reimagining how you care for your home.
About the Role
The Senior Application Security Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for driving application security outcomes across Hippo’s engineering organization. This role serves as a trusted subject matter expert in application security, providing deep technical guidance and influencing secure design decisions across multiple teams, products, and services.
This position is application-security–first, with intentional overlap into cloud and platform security where application code, identity, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure intersect. While the role does not own infrastructure, security programs, or formal departmental priorities, it is accountable for identifying application-centric risks and guiding high-impact security decisions through expertise, partnership, and advisory influence.
Operating with significant autonomy, the Senior Application Security Engineer independently owns complex and ambiguous security challenges end-to-end, ensuring outcomes align with business objectives and risk tolerance. This role emphasizes technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and mentorship rather than people management.
About You
You are a seasoned application security professional with deep technical expertise and strong judgment, trusted to guide complex security decisions in high-impact environments. You think adversarially, understand modern application architectures, and can clearly articulate risk tradeoffs to engineering, product, and security leadership.

-
Contribute technically to broader security programs by shaping standards, best practices, secure patterns, and technical guidance.
-
Support security incidents and targeted threat-hunting efforts by providing application security expertise, root-cause analysis, and remediation guidance.
-
Design, improve, and help operationalize automated security tooling and pipelines (e.g., SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection).
-
Mentor engineers and security partners across teams, acting as a force multiplier to improve secure design and decision-making at scale.
-
Communicate risks, recommendations, and standards clearly to senior engineers and security leadership to influence technical direction.
Must Haves:
-
6+ years of experience in application security or product security roles.
-
Demonstrated impact improving application security outcomes across multiple teams, systems, or business domains.
-

-
Strong understanding of authentication and identity protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, JWT, MFA).
-
Proven ability to review system designs, data flows, and identify architectural security risks.
-
Solid understanding of cloud-native application architectures and CI/CD pipelines from an application risk perspective.
-
Experience designing or maintaining automated security tooling and pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets detection).

-
Application-focused penetration testing or adversarial security testing experience.
-
Familiarity with Kubernetes, container security, and infrastructure-as-code as they relate to application security.
-
Experience operating in regulated environments.
-
Relevant security certifications (e.g., OSWE, GWAPT, CSSLP).
Benefits and Perks:
Hippo treats its team members with the same level of dedication and care as we do our customers, which is why we’re fortunate to provide all of our Hippos with:
