Role
We are looking for a Senior Staff Rust Developer based in San Jose, CA (Hybrid) reporting to the Senior Manager, Software Development Engineering in the Engineering department. Bring your vision and passion to the Zscaler Client Connector team to build and enhance the world’s largest cloud security platform. You will be responsible for developing a product that protects corporate devices by securely and privately sending traffic to Zscaler’s global network, where advanced web filtering and Zero Trust policies are applied.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
Develop high-performance networking code for multiple desktop platforms using the Rust language and platform-native APIs
Improve code quality through building solid, testable, and well-documented software foundations
Design and implement major development projects with a focus on scalability, security, and performance
Collaborate with product managers and cross-functional teams to deliver customer-impacting features
Debug and solve complex network-related problems and enhance system functionality
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)
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field
8+ years of software engineering experience with deep expertise in the Rust programming language and familiarity with lower-level languages such as C/C++
Strong knowledge of system and network programming including firewalls, VPNs, protocols, TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, QUIC, H/3, and proxies
Familiarity with system concepts such as virtual memory, multi-threading, and system APIs
Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills in both networking and system-level contexts
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
Familiarity with kernel-mode programming, VPN technologies, and a strong understanding of security protocols and standards
Experience writing testable, low-complexity code with dependency injection and thorough documentation
