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, 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 (pre and hopefully post-Covid) and social professional groups such as the Awesome Women of Netskope (AWON), we strive to keep work fun, supportive and interactive.

  • Collaboration: Work with project managers, IT teams, and external contractors to ensure timely and on-budget delivery of AV solutions.
  • Vendor Coordination: Liaise with AV equipment vendors and service providers to procure necessary equipment and resolve service-related issues.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed records of system configurations, installation processes, maintenance schedules, and support logs.
  • System Monitoring: Monitor the performance of AV systems to ensure they are functioning optimally, especially during high-traffic events or meetings.
  • Optimizations: Suggest improvements to existing AV systems to enhance performance and user experience, staying up-to-date with emerging AV technologies and trends.

  • Strong understanding of basic networking protocols and AV-over-IP (AVoIP) solutions, including signal routing, video distribution, and network configuration.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot AV equipment and resolve issues efficiently in high-pressure environments.
  • Experience designing and implementing integrated AV systems that align with specific business needs and workflows.
