Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in an environment where collaboration, creativity, and technical excellence are valued, we're looking for you!
- Solid computer science background with 8+ years engineering experience
- Proven expertise in designing and operating distributed systems
- Strong proficiency in Java (6+ years of experience)
- You value elegant code that is concise and readable
- Have you used tools like Jenkins, Helm, Docker? Do you have infrastructure experience with AWS, GCP, K8s, etc? Experience with DynamoDB, Redis, or Druid? Great, that helps!
- A Collaborative, Curious, and Practical Mindset
- 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 modern Java (we love lambdas) and prefer composition to inheritance
- 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.”
What the job involves
- 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

- We're seeking a seasoned colleague, able to lead features/epics, inspire others as a Senior 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
- 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
- Software Development (70-80% of your time; primarily Java)
- Dive deep into coding, turning innovative specs into reality. Write robust tests, tackle bugs with finesse, and ensure top-notch security in your code
- Leadership and Collaboration
- Lead technical initiatives and 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 EventDB 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
Our take
Cybercriminals are now leveraging the power of automation to make the current threat landscape too advanced for a lot of legacy antivirus software. SentinelOne is a cybersecurity company that matches this automation, with machine learning-focused software that is built to help businesses battle online attacks.
The company expanded the scope of its business from the endpoint security market to three markets valued at a combined $30 billion, including the corporate endpoint security and IT operations management markets. This gives SentinelOne a bigger potential customer base, although also puts them in direct competition with more focused cybersecurity companies, in addition to its biggest competitor, CrowdStrike.
When the company went public, it made financial headlines as the highest-valued cybersecurity IPO ever, which gave SentinelOne a market cap of $10B, though it's now fallen to around $4B. It has subsequently launched S Ventures, a $100M fund, through which SentinelOne invests in cybersecurity startups and has expanded its partnership with major tax firm KPMG to accelerate cyber investigations and responses to threats.
