Last month, Netskope hosted its third annual Global Engineering Hackathon from December 6-8, 2023, continuing a tradition that began in 2021. This event attracted more than 230 engineers from different regions including the US, India, Taiwan, Spain, and France. It served as an exciting platform for our global engineering community to collaborate, innovate, and learn new skills while exploring fresh ideas and developing prototypes.
The 2023 Hackathon, themed “Quality and Velocity,” aimed to inspire our engineers to enhance the quality and reliability of the Netskope secure access service edge (SASE) platform, and boost engineering productivity. This theme aligned perfectly with Netskope’s mission to provide the best SASE solutions to our customers.
As the Hackathon approached, excitement surged across Netskope’s offices. The Santa Clara HQ and other locations were decorated with Hackathon banners, and discussions among engineers often centered around hackathon participation and project ideas. The Hackathon JIRA board, full of innovative ideas, facilitated the formation of teams and a newly designed, stylish Hackathon t-shirt was introduced as well.
