About the role

Original posting from SentinelOne

Our Purpose

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.

About Us

SentinelOne is a company at the intersection of AI and security, pioneering a new operating model for cybersecurity. Our AI-native platform unifies protection across endpoint, cloud, identity, data, and AI systems to deliver autonomous detection and response with clarity and speed. By combining real-time analytics, intelligent automation, and a unified data foundation, we reduce noise, simplify complexity, and empower security teams to focus on what truly matters.

Our teams are builders, problem-solvers, and innovators committed to shaping the future of security. If you are excited to solve hard problems alongside talented, mission-driven people, we invite you to help us build a safer future for humanity.

What Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

The Exposure Management group builds the products customers use to discover their attack surface, assess risk across assets, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and decide what to fix first. You'll report directly to the Director of Engineering and work across all of the group's teams as its senior technical leader. You'll set the architecture, lead the group's use of AI, and connect the teams so they deliver one product rather than several separate ones.

What will you do

Define and own the architecture across Exposure Management, from vision through production.

Lead high-impact projects across teams hands-on, and act as the technical link that keeps them aligned.

Drive AI adoption, both in how we build (AI-assisted development) and in what we build (LLM and agent-based features).

Set engineering standards and make pragmatic trade-offs on technology and tech debt.

Partner with Product and leadership to turn business goals into technical strategy.

What skills and experience should you bring

Experience: 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including experience as a tech lead.

Architecture: Proven experience designing large-scale distributed and event-driven systems (Kafka/SQS), high-scale APIs and data models.

Engineering: Strong hands-on coding skills and a solid foundation in system design, algorithms and testing.

Leadership: Strong ownership, cross-team influence without formal authority, clear communication, and comfort with ambiguity.

Big advantage:

Practical experience building with LLMs (RAG, agents, evaluation) and driving AI adoption within engineering teams.

Background in cybersecurity, especially vulnerability management, attack surface management or CNAPP.

Why us?

AI is redefining how the world operates and rewriting the rules of security in real time, and SentinelOne was built for this moment. From day one, we architected an AI-native platform designed to operate at machine speed, not as an add-on to legacy systems but as the foundation itself. If you want to build where innovation and impact move together, this is that place.
