Meet some of our grads
Masa
Following the completion of his PhD in Network Security and High Speed Router Design, Masa joined Fortinet as an ASIC Design Engineer 4 years ago. While design work was his primary role, Masa was provided the opportunity to work on drivers and software, areas he was not fully versed in. As a Senior ASIC Design Engineer today, Masa reflects on his earlier days and is truly grateful for Fortinet giving him hands-on experience in different areas to broaden his skillset and the willingness of senior engineers to share their technical knowledge.
Bill Lin
Bill Lin started his career journey with Fortinet Taiwan two years ago. After a year as a Junior AV Analyst, Bill was promoted as the Team Lead of the AV team. In April 2017, due to outstanding performance, Bill was promoted to be the Manager of the AV team. Bill is enjoying his employment with Fortinet and recognized the company has a lot of potential for growth. He is proud to grow his career with us and to be part of the AV family.
Mark
The technologies at Fortinet are what attracted Mark to apply for a new grad development role. Since joining the web team just over a year ago, Mark has already progressed to a senior contributor with more responsibilities and beginning to take on a leadership role. In his own words, Mark believes Fortinet has done it right, providing hands on experience from the very beginning. He started off with simple bug fixes and small features, and slowly worked his way to more complex cases.
"As a new grad out of school, I’m thrilled that I chose to start my career at Fortinet. With innovative technology, great people, and challenging problems to solve, it has been an exciting place to work that has allowed me to grow as a developer."
Christy
As an Anti-Virus Analyst, Christy is involved with reverse engineering and malware analysis, concepts that are not necessarily taught in school. As a result, Fortinet has developed a 3 month training program for AV Analysts to learn the fundamentals on malware and provide hands-on learning. It is this program that attracted Christy to the role and to Fortinet. She attributes her ability to dig deeper into malware, to her managers as they have always been very supportive. This has led her to presenting a paper at VB2013 in Germany last fall.
"Teamwork is something I embrace at Fortinet; I enjoy working with my teammates, all towards a common goal."
