Menlo Security plans to hire engineers for developing products
California-based Menlo Security’s Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Poornima DeBolle said that the company will hire 60 engineers next year for its two-year old Bengaluru office to come up with more cyber products for its global clients.
“We expect to hire up to 60 engineers next year,” DeBolle told a news source.
The company is also planning to rope in young talents with an experience of two to five years in the coming year and train them to develop new cyber security products.
“We invest in talent and take them to our operations in the US and Singapore for further developing their skill,” she said.
“We will build products in India and deliver to India as well as from India,” she said of her long-term plans that widely align with the Indian Government’s vision of having industries in the country to make for the world.
Noting the matured engineering talent in Bengaluru as comparable to those in Silicon Valley, DeBolle shared her decision to have an Indian hub after having checked on the availability of talent in Spain, Ireland and Mexico.
“We decided in late 2020 to set up the Indian office for our global product expansion plans, as it became challenging in expanding from the US and the UK operations.”
In 2021, after finalizing the Bengaluru office, DeBolle gathered a team of 40-engineers and had the first cloud-based product shipped to global clients within nine months.
The team delivered the first product, Menlo Private Access, in the first quarter of this year, said the Bengaluru-born and California-based engineer turned entrepreneur.
DeBolle is working on a couple of different product lines, but all on cyber security, including browser isolation and enhancing the first made-in-India product Menlo Private Access.
“As migration to the cloud quickens and application workloads move to SaaS, security is being rearchitected to meet a new set of challenges,” she said.
“Menlo Security is at the forefront of this shift, empowering organisations to adapt and map their journey to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and beyond,” she said.
