Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. SentinelOne is a company at the intersection of AI and security, pioneering a new operating model for cybersecurity. As a Staff Forward Deploy Engineer, you will engage with customers to understand their requirements and deliver integrated solutions while also contributing to the core product development.
Responsibilities
- Software Development (fullstack; primarily React/Java)
- Customer Engagement and Requirements Gathering
- Customer Integrations, Deployments, and Enablement
- Upstream Contributions to the Core Product
- Technical Leadership and Mentorship
- Build and Review Technical Specifications
- Code Review
- Support and Team Collaboration
Skills
- Solid computer science background with 6+ years engineering experience including both backend and frontend
- Proven expertise designing and operating distributed systems or data-intensive services
- Track record of leading substantial pieces of work end-to-end, under ambiguity, with multiple stakeholders
- Experience working directly with customers or senior stakeholders to shape technical solutions
- Deep proficiency in at least one production language (Java strongly preferred; 5+ years) and working comfort in at least one additional language
- You value elegant code that is concise and readable
- You'll pick up new tools and codebases as the work demands, and will likely end up working with modern Java, React, TypeScript, Kafka, Redis, GraphQL, Node.js, SentinelOne's own platform, and more
- You enjoy writing modern Java (we love lambdas) and prefer composition to inheritance
- You're comfortable weighing in on CAP theorem considerations, and are energized by selecting the data structure with the perfect trade-offs for a problem at hand
- You're energized by walking into an unfamiliar codebase and being genuinely useful in a week, and by leading others through the same kind of work
- You believe a vague customer request is an interesting technical problem waiting to be reframed, and that 'a problem well-stated is half-solved.'
- You can translate between engineers and non-engineers (customers, executives, sales, product, etc.) without losing precision in either direction
- You'd rather ship a well-thought-out 80% that solves the real problem than a perfect 100% six weeks late. And you can teach others when to customize for one customer versus producing a general solution
- You take mentorship seriously and enjoy seeing other engineers grow in their ability to solve harder problems
- You take pride in clear written communication — tickets, design docs, customer runbooks, and executive briefings alike
- Experience in the cybersecurity domain is strongly preferred. (think SIEM, EDR/XDR, log pipelines, detection engineering, threat hunting, etc.)
