Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Our Purpose

At SentinelOne, we are driven by a clear purpose: to give the advantage to those who secure our future. As AI reshapes how organizations build, operate, and innovate, the responsibility to protect them becomes more critical than ever. When you join SentinelOne, your work helps protect global enterprises, critical infrastructure, and the technologies shaping tomorrow. If you are motivated by meaningful challenges and want your impact to be real, measurable, and global, you will find purpose here.

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 Senior Software Engineer you will be tasked to join our on Prem Team. We are building and scaling SentinelOne's self-hosted (On-Prem) console, and we're looking for a strong backend senior software engineer to join the On-Prem team.

As our new colleague, you should be excited about building and hardening systems that customers run in their own environments — from air-gapped data centers to private clouds. You should love taking an active role, be comfortable diving into complex, large-scale distributed systems, and enjoy owning the reliability, upgradeability, and operability of software that ships outside of SentinelOne's own infrastructure.

What will you do?

Primary responsibilities include:

Own features end-to-end — Join a cross-disciplinary squad of backend and frontend engineers, taking features from whiteboard to production in self-hosted environments.

Build for customer-operated environments — Design, implement, test, and deploy backend services that must run reliably in customer-managed infrastructure, including constrained, air-gapped, and on-prem deployments.

Shape the platform's architecture — Lead the design of new modules across the On-Prem console, choosing patterns and technologies for scale, reliability, upgradeability, and performance.

Own operability and lifecycle — Contribute to packaging, deployment, patching, and upgrade processes (e.g., OS upgrades, infrastructure components) that keep self-hosted customers secure and current.

See your impact — Your work directly improves how customers deploy, operate, and trust SentinelOne in their own environments, making it a visible part of key company initiatives.

What skills & knowledge should you bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

4+ years' backend-development experience.

Proficiency in at least one of the following programming languages: Go, Python.

Hands-on experience with at least one public cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

Experience with Docker, Docker Compose, Jenkins

Solid understanding of operating systems and networking fundamentals.

Experience working with both RDBMS and NoSQL databases.

Familiarity with streaming/messaging systems such as Kafka.

Experience building high-performance, microservices-based backend systems.

Strong ability to design solutions that meet product requirements.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a hybrid and/or remote team and lead projects.

Proven experience developing unit and component tests as part of the development process.

Bonus

Open-source contributions.

Experience working with AI coding agents / agentic development workflows.

Experience building software for on-prem, self-hosted, or air-gapped deployments.

Hands-on experience with the Kafka ecosystem (Kafka Pub/Sub, Kafka Connect, etc.).

Why SentinelOne?

AI is redefining how the world operates and rewriting the rules of security in real time, and SentinelOne was built for this moment. From day one, we architected an AI-native platform designed to operate at machine speed, not as an add-on to legacy systems but as the foundation itself. If you want to build where innovation and impact move together, this is that place.
