Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SentinelOne is an AI-native cybersecurity company that unifies protection across endpoint, cloud, identity, data, and AI systems. The Senior Software Engineer will design, build, and operate secure, reliable distributed backend services primarily in Java, while troubleshooting complex systems, contributing to technical design, reviewing code, and participating in on-call operations.
Responsibilities
- Designing and building distributed backend services that are reliable, performant, and secure — primarily in Java, with Python, Go and other technologies in the mix
- Going deep on hard engineering problems: understanding our data pipelines, troubleshooting distributed systems, latency optimization, improving failure modes
- Contributing meaningfully to design discussions — not just implementing what's handed to you but helping shape what we build and how
- Reviewing your teammates' code thoughtfully and having your own reviewed with the same rigor
- Participating in on-call rotations, investigating production issues methodically, writing RCAs and closing the loop with improvements that prevent recurrence
- Keeping your knowledge sharp and sharing what you learn — new technologies, better patterns and tools
- Our stack: Java (primary), Python, Go, Kotlin, Node.js — AWS & GCP, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Kafka, Redis, Jenkins, GitHub. We dogfood our own products and are vocal customers of them!
Skills
- * 5+ years of engineering experience with a solid computer science foundation
- * Strong Java proficiency (3–5 years hands-on) and comfort reading and writing Python
- * Real experience building and operating distributed systems in production
- * Fluency with containerization and cloud infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, AWS or GCP)
- * Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or GitHub Actions) and cloud data stores (S3, DynamoDB, Redis, RDBMS)
- * A polyglot mindset — you're not precious about languages or technology and you pick up new ones quickly
- * The habit of writing code that's concise, readable, and easy for the next engineer to reason about
- * Strong communication instincts — you ask good questions early, surface concerns before they become problems and give feedback that makes designs better
- * A track record for being someone your teammates genuinely enjoy working with — collaborative, low-ego and generous with your time and knowledge
