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

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 looking for a new Senior SW Engineering Manager to lead one of the teams responsible for developing the SaaS platform part for our main product line - Endpoint Security (serving for protection of various devices across all kinds of OS - Windows, Linux, macOS).

• 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. Moreover, you'll play a key role in the rearchitecture initiatives of the whole SaaS Platform organization.
• This is a highly visible role, where you'll collaborate with and influence teams and leaders in both your and other Engineering organizations at S1.

You’ll lead  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, you'll be heavily involved in every end-to-end effort, feature development and be 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 (with a possibility of growing further!) and partner with product management to deliver our next-generation endpoint security offering powered by a highly scalable SaaS Platform.
• 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 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.
• As a Senior Manager, you’ll also be expected to contribute to the growth and mentoring of colleagues in the broader department beyond just your team.
• You will deal with the scale of cloud-native cybersecurity software platform, deployed globally across 6 AWS/GCP regions, that serves 1 million 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 just the services our area owns process daily tens 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

What experience or knowledge should you bring?

• At least 4 years of proven experience in successfully managing, hiring and retaining internationally distributed engineering team(s)
• At least 4 years of previous development experience and a solid understanding of one of the following languages - Go, Python, Java, C++ or similar (you'll be involved in code reviews & PRs, system design/architecture, be part of oncall escalations etc.)
• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or similar
