Sr. SRE, DNS, Platform Engineering

About Netskope

Today, there's more data and users outside the enterprise than inside, causing the network perimeter as we know it to dissolve. We realized a new perimeter was needed, one that is built in the cloud and follows and protects data wherever it goes, so we started Netskope to redefine Cloud, Network and Data Security.

Since 2012, we have built the market-leading cloud security company and an award-winning culture powered by hundreds of employees spread across offices in Santa Clara, St. Louis, Bangalore, London, Paris, Melbourne, Taipei, and Tokyo. Our core values are openness, honesty, and transparency, and we purposely developed our open desk layouts and large meeting spaces to support and promote partnerships, collaboration, and teamwork. From catered lunches and office celebrations to employee recognition events and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.

About The Role

The Platform Engineering SRE (PESRE) organization builds observability, infrastructure and tooling to ensure the resiliency, efficacy and performance of Netskope's security cloud infrastructure and networking.

We are seeking a highly skilled senior level Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with a core specialty in DNS. This role is critical to the design, maintenance, and reliability of our global DNS infrastructure. You will be responsible for managing authoritative and recursive DNS services, implementing DNSSEC, and contributing to the overall scalability, security, and performance of our environment.

What's In It For You

As a SRE specializing in DNS on Netskope's PESRE team, you will have an opportunity to exercise and expand your skills in the DNS and general SRE domains at a rapidly growing business with a global data center footprint, and have a chance to build and improve the infrastructure that powers Netskope's security cloud. This is an ideal role for candidates who have the desire to learn new technologies, concepts and architectures, the curiosity and desire to dig into interesting technical challenges, and the belief that 'good enough' is not enough.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architect, deploy, and manage authoritative and recursive DNS infrastructure using BIND and PowerDNS.
• Implement and maintain DNSSEC, RPZ, zone transfers, and performance tuning.
• Develop and maintain configuration management using tools like SaltStack and Ansible.
• Automate operational tasks, reduce manual toil, and ensure infrastructure as code is reproducible and version-controlled.
• Collaborate with security, network, and development teams to support DNS-related integrations and requirements.
• Monitor DNS health and performance using Prometheus, custom exporters, and alerting pipelines.
• Troubleshoot complex DNS resolution, caching, and propagation issues across internal and external environments.
• Assist in migration efforts, including consolidating or modernizing DNS platforms and tools.
• Write and maintain internal documentation, diagrams, and runbooks.
• Participating in an on-call rotation to organize responses to production incidents.
• Conducting non-functional testing to validate infrastructure and software performance and resiliency requirements.
