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.
As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a crucial role in building infrastructure that supports SentinelOne's vision of a single autonomous cybersecurity platform. That vision depends on our ability to collect, store, and analyze data efficiently. If you are interested in building infrastructure for data platforms, this is your opportunity. Our platforms run reliably with 99.99% uptime, scale to petabytes of data ingested every day (and more than 2 trillion events processed), and return queries with p95 latencies of less than 5 seconds.
Due to Federal Government contract requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required for this position. FedRAMP staff may be subject to customer or third-party background checks up to and including Secret Clearance if required by their role at SentinelOne.
What Will You Do?
Primary responsibilities include:
- Lead the design and operation of distributed data services, including Kafka and Redis (self hosted), running at massive scale across Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud environments.
- Unlock complete cloud portability for SentinelOne's services by building a highly automated, self-service infrastructure that can run seamlessly across AWS, GCP, and air-gapped on-prem environments.
- Manage data infrastructure supporting 5 or more PB/day ingestion, ensuring low-latency, high-throughput, and cost-effective operation at global scale.
- Consolidate and optimize multi-tenant Kafka clusters to reduce cost, improve resilience, and streamline operations.
- Drive Redis and Kafka lifecycle automation using GitOps principles (ArgoCD, Terraform), reducing operational toil and minimizing pager fatigue.
- Define and implement standards for observability, HA, backup, and DR of stateful workloads in Kubernetes.
- Partner with FinOps and engineering stakeholders to continuously optimize performance, cost, and operational overhead across data platform components.
- Own the end-to-end platform experience for mission-critical open-source systems, serving hundreds of product teams.
- Collaborate closely with teams in Europe and India (US Eastern Time Zone preferred due to these collaboration requirements), working with orchestration tools such as Kubernetes (EKS, GKE), Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and Terraform.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?
Ideal candidates will have:
- 8 or more years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering, with a proven track record of operating stateful distributed systems at scale.
- Deep hands-on experience with self hosted Kafka and Redis running in Kubernetes, including performance tuning, scaling, partitioning, persistence, and operator-based lifecycle management.
- Strong understanding of Kubernetes internals and best practices for managing both stateless and stateful workloads in production environments.
- Experience providing Database- or Messaging-as-a-Service (DBaaS/PaaS) for internal development teams or external customers.
- Exposure to multi-cloud environments with strong expertise in at least one major provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code and GitOps practices (Terraform, ArgoCD, Pulumi).
- Familiarity with advanced deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling).
- Strong scripting or development skills (e.g., Python, Go, or similar).
- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and workflow automation (GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, etc.).
