About the Job

Requirements

At least 3 years of leadership experience as a team lead, tech lead, or engineering manager.
At least 3 years of hands-on experience in AI inference, production machine learning infrastructure, model serving, or AI runtime platforms.
Strong experience with production inference technologies such as Triton, vLLM, CUDA, Kubernetes, Docker, PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, or similar technologies.
At least 3 years of experience with Go, or strong experience with a similar high-performance backend language such as C++, Rust, or Java.
Experience with performance optimization, scalability, observability, and SLO-driven production ownership.
Strong system design skills, especially around distributed systems, performance, reliability, and production infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Build and lead Cato’s AI Platform team, including hiring, mentoring, architecture, technical direction, and execution.
Own the AI security runtime platform for high-throughput, low-latency inline security decisions across Cato’s global cloud and physical points of presence.
Design the orchestration layer for running GPU models, CPU heuristics, and security logic as one production engine.
Own production readiness, including observability, SLOs, autoscaling, reliability, rollout, rollback, and operational health.
Own the model lifecycle platform, including registry, versioning, deployment, monitoring, and safe production rollout.
Work closely with research and algorithm teams to productionize AI security models and algorithms at scale.
Define the long-term platform strategy for AI runtime and model serving at Cato.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with GPU optimization, GPU scheduling, GPU resource efficiency, quantization, runtime acceleration, or large-scale model serving.

Cato Networks is the converged network and security cloud for the AI era.

As AI reshapes cybersecurity, enterprises face a dual challenge: unlocking AI’s potential while defending against AI-driven attacks. Cato addresses both through a unified, cloud-native platform, providing the visibility and context to prioritize risks and stop threats in real time across users, applications, data, and AI agents.

Join us as we scale: take on ambitious technological challenges and shape the next generation of enterprise security at a company trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide.

Cato is building a real-time AI runtime platform for security algorithms running inline across our global cloud and physical PoPs.
We are looking for a hands-on AI Platform Team Lead to build and lead the team behind this platform: a high-throughput, low-latency engine that runs GPU-based models, from MMBERT-style models to LLMs, together with CPU-based heuristics and security logic.
This is a core infrastructure role for someone who wants to own the runtime layer of AI security at scale: performance, reliability, orchestration, GPU efficiency, and production-grade execution in the traffic path.
The team will also own the model lifecycle required to take AI security algorithms from research to large-scale production, working closely with research and algorithm teams.
