If you’re excited about solving complex challenges in bold, innovative ways, we’d love to connect with you.

Our team is responsible for Endpoint Protection Services, and covers end-to-end from agent to backend to frontend the following areas:
Building services that process traffic between SentinelOne's Agent (which is responsible for protection across all kinds of OS - Windows, Linux, macOS) and our cloud-based Management console.
Developing a big part of the backend of the Management console itself (which is in short a large-scale distributed system, a complex "control application" used by IT security teams of S1 clients - that can be seen in many S1 vs. Ransomware demos) and the management of the "fleet" of agents deployed on endpoints in client's environments (backends written in Python and Go and deployed in Kubernetes).
We’re a team with a significant impact on how our customer's environments are protected, and how they interact with agents. As a 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?
As a Backend Engineer and a new member of our team, you will take part in building our next-generation endpoint security offering.
- You will be a stakeholder in the architecture, design, and implementation of a multi-disciplinary cloud-native cybersecurity software platform that serves thousands of users from security teams at enterprise & government customers across the globe and protects tens of millions of endpoints & billions of events every day.
- Software engineers on our team are independent, they lead the features E2E, come up with their own improvements in infrastructure and performance components, have the space to promote their ideas, design & implement them; they own very important flows at S1 and deal with extraordinary performance and optimization challenges, given the scale of our cybersecurity services.
Your main tools: Golang (we're using for new development) and Python (Flask, SQLAlchemy, Marshmallow); AWS&GCP; PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka; Kubernetes, Docker; GitHub etc.
What skills and knowledge should you need to bring?
- 5+ years of professional backend development experience with Golang (Go) or Java, and/or Python
- Ability to quickly dive into new products and understand their inner workings
- Self-driven individual
- Experience with large-scale high-load distributed systems & performance
- Excellent communication skills - you will be regularly in touch with Product, Technical Account Managers (who provide feedback from clients) and other cross-functional teams
It’d be great if you have:
- Recent professional and production experience working in Golang (Go)
- Experience with Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes
- Experience with Kafka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Familiarity with AWS, GCP, and/or other cloud platforms
- Experience in an enterprise SaaS company or cybersecurity SaaS company
