About SentinelOne

SentinelOne unifies AI-powered endpoint, cloud, identity, and data protection — enhanced by our Security Data Lake for seamless and efficient cybersecurity. Backed by Insight and Redpoint.

About the role

At SentinelOne, we are driven by a clear purpose: to give the advantage to those who secure our future. As AI reshapes how organizations build, operate, and innovate, the responsibility to protect them becomes more critical than ever. When you join SentinelOne, your work helps protect global enterprises, critical infrastructure, and the technologies shaping tomorrow. If you are motivated by meaningful challenges and want your impact to be real, measurable, and global, you will find purpose here.

What they're looking for

  • 8 or more years of professional software engineering experience with a demonstrated ability to design, build, and ship full-stack applications (frontend and backend) independently
  • Proficiency in at least one modern backend language (Python, Node.js/JavaScript, or comparable) and enough frontend ability to build usable internal tools without waiting on a dedicated design or frontend team
  • Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) to accelerate development, plus a working understanding of APIs, webhooks, data structures, and integration patterns
  • A track record of working directly with non-technical stakeholders including scoping ambiguous requests, managing expectations, and shipping something real rather than a deck
  • Comfort operating with significant autonomy and shifting priorities across departments and problem spaces where the right solution is rarely handed to you
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to a functional VP as easily as to a fellow engineer
