Senior Software Engineer - Backend (Java,Golang)

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?

As part of SentinelOne’s main product line - Endpoint Protection, we secure tens of millions of devices across the globe of all kinds of OS (Windows, Linux, macOS), and process billions of security events every day. This team provides capabilities for remotely keeping agents up to date with automated version and other intelligence asset upgrades and having a consolidated health reporting for them.

We are building services (e.g. gateways, caching, threat data ingestion etc) that remotely keep track of the Agent fleet, providing capabilities for management and upgrade of agents themselves or assets used by such agents, package management, upgrade schedules etc.

We are also developing deep health reporting of agent fleet which enables our customers to take timely actions to manage the agents such as upgrading them and enabling/ disabling them.

You'll be joining a team with a significant impact on how our customers' environments (incl. 4 or Fortune10 companies, hundreds of Global2000 or governments) are protected, how they interact with agents, gain visibility into their security posture, and understand the risks and act upon them. As core team at S1, we're heavily involved in every end-to-end effort, features development and are key contributors to the design and build of the right architecture of S1's cybersecurity solution to match the scale & hyper-growth of our business.

What will you do?

• Your areas of focus would be primarily (but not limited to) developing crucial SaaS platform services.

• You’ll be also tasked with improving the scalability of our services, improving their performance and ensuring high-availability.

• You will be a stakeholder in the architecture, design, and implementation of a multidisciplinary cloud-native cybersecurity software platform that serves thousands of users from security teams at enterprise and government customers across the globe and protects tens of millions of endpoints and billions of events every day.

• The software engineers on our team are independent. They lead the features end-to-end, come up with their own improvements in infrastructure and performance components, and have the space to promote their ideas, design, and implement them. They own very important flows at S1 and deal with extraordinary performance and optimization challenges, given the scale of our cybersecurity services.
