About Us

At SentinelOne, we’re redefining cybersecurity by pushing the limits of what’s possible—leveraging AI-powered, data-driven innovation to stay ahead of tomorrow’s threats.

From building industry-leading products to cultivating an exceptional company culture, our core values guide everything we do. We’re looking for passionate individuals who thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to drive impact. If you’re excited about solving complex challenges in bold, innovative ways, we’d love to connect with you.

What are we looking for?

We're excited to expand our team with passionate and skilled backend engineers, who are interested in solving non-trivial scale and data problems with a unique blending of cloud, distributed systems, and software optimization techniques and services. The SDL team, as part of the Singularity Data Lake product line, is responsible for Visualization layer and backend services.

We're seeking a seasoned colleague, able to lead features/epics, inspire others as a Staff engineer, and lead technically. You will interact with engineers in and across the org, tech leads, architects, product management, sales, and marketing.

Because our team’s work is closely tied to the user’s experience of our platform, your work will have an outsized impact on the company, on future customer-facing features, and on how customers leverage our platform in order to protect their business. If you thrive in an environment where collaboration, creativity, and technical excellence are valued, we're looking for you!

You will be joining one of the fastest growing publicly-traded SaaS companies, with a mission of ‘Empowering the World to Run Securely’. Together through our SW, we will serve thousands of users from security teams at enterprise & government customers across the globe (incl. 4 of Fortune 10 and hundreds of Global 2000), and protect tens of millions of endpoints, clouds & identities.


What will you do? 

  • Software Development (70-80% of your time; primarily Java & Python)
    Dive deep into coding, turning innovative specs into reality. Write robust tests, tackle bugs with finesse, and ensure top-notch security in your code.
  • Collaboration
    Collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • Code Review
    Champion code quality, security, and efficiency. Your keen eye for detail will guide you in reviewing and elevating our codebase.

Build and Review Technical Specifications

    • Deeply understand architecture of the SDL solution and connected features; Architect end-to-end solutions for complex features with loose problem definition
    • Document trade-offs in solutions/implementations; Document critical implementation details/data structures; Review and provide feedback on other specs
    • Provide guidance and meaningful feedback, understanding broader patterns and downstream and upstream dependencies
  • Support and On-Call Rotation
    Be a problem-solver. Respond to and troubleshoot outage incidents, and address security issues promptly.
  • Team Collaboration
    Be a team player. Assist your colleagues, share constructive feedback, and contribute to our weekly syncs and daily Slack standups.

Tools
Primarily Java & Python; AWS & GCP, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Kafka, Redis, Jenkins, GitHub, and DataSet (we love to dogfood our own product and are very vocal customers of it). Occasionally Scala, Kotlin, Go, NodeJS


What Do You Bring to the Table?
We do not require a perfect match with everything below; however, the more this describes you, the better of a fit you will be for this role!

  • Experience
    • Solid computer science background with 6+ years engineering experience.
    • Proven expertise in designing and operating distributed systems.
  • Technical Mastery
    • Strong proficiency in Java (5+ years of experience).
    • Write and review code in Python.
    • You value elegant code that is concise and readable.
    • Proficient with containerization tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm charts.
    • Have you used tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions? Do you have infrastructure experience with AWS, GCP, K8s, etc? Experience with DynamoDB, Redis, and RDBMS? Great, that helps!
  • A Collaborative, Curious, and Practical Mindset
    If this sounds like you, we should talk:
    • You are excited about opportunities to serve as a mentor and to play a pivotal role in fostering both technical excellence and team unity.
    • You enjoy writing concise, maintainable code and aren’t hesitant to invest your time in improving clarity in existing.
    • You can identify relevant algorithms in the literature & bring them into production when they fit.
    • Your passion for understanding and solving complex engineering challenges is matched by your pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
    • You're comfortable weighing in on CAP theorem considerations, and are energized by selecting the data structure with the perfect trade-offs for a problem at hand.
    • You believe that honing ideas and technical designs with other engineers is crucial for achieving an optimal solution.
    • You’re looking for a challenge that doesn’t just require you to use technologies like Kafka and Cassandra, but requires you to rebuild them because they didn’t meet the project requirements.
    • Garbage collection doesn’t faze you because you know the JVM like the back of your hand. You can rattle off the available garbage collectors and their tuning parameters.
    • You value asking good questions, because you believe “a problem well-stated is half-solved.”
Why us?

You will be joining a cutting-edge company where you will tackle extraordinary challenges and work with the very best in the industry.
