What Are We Looking For?

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.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will be tasked to join our On-Prem team. This team builds and operates the deployment, release, and operational tooling needed to run SentinelOne software reliably in customer-managed and self-hosted environments, while improving engineering efficiency, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

You will work closely with engineering, security, release, and support teams to improve how we package, deploy, patch, upgrade, and recover OnPrem environments across a wide range of customer footprints. The role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys solving hard infrastructure problems, improving operational reliability, and building repeatable automation for complex deployments.

What will you do:

Primary responsibilities include:

Build and maintain automation for deployment, upgrade, patching, backup, and recovery workflows for OnPrem environments

Own and improve release engineering workflows for customer-managed deployments, including patch releases and operational readiness

Work on systems that help engineering teams deliver features safely, quickly, and reliably in self-hosted environments

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and development infrastructure using tools such as Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, and Ansible

Partner with engineering teams to improve SDLC efficiency, deployment quality, and operational consistency

Support Linux-based environments, including networking, kernel upgrades, container runtime operations, and platform troubleshooting

Drive better vulnerability management practices across build and runtime environments using tools such as Syft and Grype

Improve deployment models across virtualized and private infrastructure environments, including VMware and Nutanix

Contribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and recovery planning for customer-facing OnPrem environments

Define and monitor key operational metrics around reliability, throughput, failure rates, and release quality

What Skills and Knowledge Should You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

Strong hands-on experience with Ansible, Linux, networking, and kernel upgrades

Solid experience with Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, and Docker Compose

Experience designing and operating backup and recovery workflows for production systems

Strong understanding of patch releases, upgrade strategies, rollback planning, and operational validation

Experience with vulnerability and SBOM tooling such as Syft and Grype

Hands-on experience working with at least one major public cloud provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure

Experience building and operating reliable CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, containers, networking, and release workflows

Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, security, and support teams

Clear written and verbal communication skills, with a strong sense of ownership and operational rigor

Bonus Points:

Experience contributing to open source projects

Experience deploying and operating software on Nutanix and/or VMware

Familiarity with coding agents and AI-assisted developer tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar systems

Familiarity with GitOps frameworks and modern deployment strategies such as blue-green, rolling, or canary deployments

Experience supporting security, compliance, or regulated deployment requirements
