If you’re enthusiastic about innovative approaches to problem-solving, we would love to speak with you about joining our team!

Who are we looking for?

We're continuously expanding the capabilities of SentinelOne, actively listening to customers and responding to their needs. We're growing our R&D and our main product line, Endpoint Security, serving for protection of various devices across all kinds of OS (Windows, Linux, macOS), and looking for a new Senior SW Engineering Manager, to lead one of the teams responsible for developing the SaaS platform part serving this product line.

• Your areas of focus would be primarily (but not limited to) developing crucial SaaS platform services such as: telemetry and communication services between protected devices with S1 agent and SaaS platform (endpoints<->console), gateway, caching, or SaaS “control plane” for managing agents on protected devices.
• You’ll be also tasked with improving the scalability of our services multiple times, improving their performance and ensuring high-availability.

We’re a team with a significant impact on how our customer's environments are protected, how their IT security teams interact with S1 agents through SaaS platform to resolve cyberthreats on endpoints (which can be seen in many S1 vs. Ransomware demos) and also how they manage the “fleet” of agents deployed on various endpoints in customer’s environments. As core team at S1, we're heavily involved in every end-to-end effort, feature 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?

• You'll manage a global team of 6-8 talented SW engineers and partner with product management to deliver our next-generation endpoint security offering.
• You'll drive design decisions around improving the product architecture and determining areas that need to be proactively improved based on team findings.
• You'll also foster the team's continuous learning and improvement and adherence to engineering best practices. At S1 we nourish independence and encourage our engineers to drive things themselves.
• You will deal with the scale of cloud-native cybersecurity software platform, deployed globally across 6 AWS/GCP regions, that serves 1 million of users from security teams at enterprise & government customers across the globe (incl. 4 of Fortune 10 and hundreds of Global 2000 companies), protects tens of millions of endpoints, and processes daily hundreds of billions of events.

Your team’s stack: Golang (used for new services) and Python (used in existing services); AWS/GCP; Kubernetes, Docker; Postgres, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Redis, Kafka; GitHub, ArgoCD etc.

Way of working & team setup: agile - scrum, 2 week sprints etc.; distributed team with team members across multiple time zones - Israel, Czechia/Slovakia, India and US

• Ability to quickly dive into new products and understand their inner working
• Self-driven individual who strives for continuous improvement of engineering practices, team excellence and product scalability and architecture
