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.
Please note that under Federal & FedRAMP regulations, hiring for this role is limited to US citizens only.
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.
What are we looking for:
Join SentinelOne as a Staff Infrastructure Engineer and play a crucial role in building infrastructure. SentinelOne’s XDR vision of one autonomous cybersecurity platform depends on our ability to collect, store, and analyze data efficiently. If you are interested in building infrastructure for data platforms that run reliably with 99.99% uptime, can scale to petabytes of data ingested every day (and >2 trillion events processed), and return queries with p95 latencies less than 5 seconds, you will love this opportunity.
Tools we use: Orchestration tools like Kubernetes (EKS, GKE), Jenkins, Github Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform
US Eastern Time Zone preferred due to collaboration requirements with teams in Europe and India.
What will you do?
- Lead the design and operation of distributed data services— including Kafka and Redis—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+ 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 such as Kafka, Redis, and Cassandra, serving hundreds of product teams.
What skills and knowledge should you bring?
- 8+ years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering, with a proven track record of operating stateful distributed systems at scale.
- Deep hands-on experience with 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.).
