To give the advantage to those who secure our future.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning
- AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts
- Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes
- FedRAMP staff may be subject to customer or third-party background checks up to and including Secret Clearance if required by their role at SentinelOne
- 8 or more years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering, with a proven track record of operating stateful distributed systems at scale
- Deep hands-on experience with self hosted Kafka and Redis running in Kubernetes, including performance tuning, scaling, partitioning, persistence, and operator-based lifecycle management
- Strong understanding of Kubernetes internals and best practices for managing both stateless and stateful workloads in production environments
- Experience providing Database- or Messaging-as-a-Service (DBaaS/PaaS) for internal development teams or external customers
- Exposure to multi-cloud environments with strong expertise in at least one major provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices (Terraform, ArgoCD, Pulumi)
- Familiarity with advanced deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling)
- Strong scripting or development skills (e.g., Python, Go, or similar)
- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and workflow automation (GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, etc.)
What the job involves
- As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a crucial role in building infrastructure that supports SentinelOne's vision of a single autonomous cybersecurity platform. That vision depends on our ability to collect, store, and analyze data efficiently
- If you are interested in building infrastructure for data platforms, this is your opportunity. Our platforms run reliably with 99.99% uptime, scale to petabytes of data ingested every day (and more than 2 trillion events processed), and return queries with p95 latencies of less than 5 seconds
- Lead the design and operation of distributed data services, including Kafka and Redis (self hosted), running at massive scale across Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud environments
- Unlock complete cloud portability for SentinelOne's services by building a highly automated, self-service infrastructure that can run seamlessly across AWS, GCP, and air-gapped on-prem environments
- Manage data infrastructure supporting 5 or more PB/day ingestion, ensuring low-latency, high-throughput, and cost-effective operation at global scale
- Consolidate and optimize multi-tenant Kafka clusters to reduce cost, improve resilience, and streamline operations
- Drive Redis and Kafka lifecycle automation using GitOps principles (ArgoCD, Terraform), reducing operational toil and minimizing pager fatigue
- Define and implement standards for observability, HA, backup, and DR of stateful workloads in Kubernetes
- Partner with FinOps and engineering stakeholders to continuously optimize performance, cost, and operational overhead across data platform components
- Own the end-to-end platform experience for mission-critical open-source systems, serving hundreds of product teams
- Collaborate closely with teams in Europe and India (US Eastern Time Zone preferred due to these collaboration requirements), working with orchestration tools such as Kubernetes (EKS, GKE), Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and Terraform
Our take
Cybercriminals are now leveraging the power of automation to make the current threat landscape too advanced for a lot of traditional antivirus software. SentinelOne is a cybersecurity company that matches this automation with machine learning-focused software designed to help businesses defend against online attacks.
The company has expanded beyond endpoint security into a broader AI-powered cybersecurity platform spanning endpoint, cloud, identity, and IT operations. This gives SentinelOne access to a larger enterprise market, although it also it also places the company in direct competitions with established cybersecurity leaders, including its biggest rival, CrowdStrike.
As cyberattacks become increasingly automated, the company is expanding its capabilities beyond detection to include AI-driven threat response, helping security teams contain attacks more quickly. While it still trails larger rival CrowdStrike in scale, SentinelOne is investing in platform expansion and automation to compete for enterprises looking to consolidate their cybersecurity into a single solution.
