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 Senior Software Engineer, you will be tasked with leading the architectural design and technical strategy for high-performance systems that process massive volumes of telemetry data while reducing costs and improving insights for enterprise customers. You will drive technical excellence and lead complex engineering initiatives at scale for the Observo.ai team, our cutting-edge AI-driven data pipeline optimization platform.
What Will You Do?Primary responsibilities include:
- Lead the architectural design and technical roadmap for scalable, high-performance data processing pipelines capable of handling petabyte-scale telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces).
- Drive the development and optimization of ML-driven data routing and transformation engines to reduce customer data volumes by 80%+ while architecting real-time analytics systems using advanced machine learning and LLMs.
- Design cloud-native microservices and APIs that integrate seamlessly with major observability platforms (Splunk, Elastic, Datadog) while establishing robust monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions.
- Lead cross-functional technical initiatives and decision-making forums, collaborating with Product, Data Science, and DevOps teams to translate strategic vision into technical solutions and company-wide standards.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior and junior engineers, driving system performance and reliability optimization while establishing engineering best practices and culture.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?Ideal candidates will have:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience focused on distributed systems, data engineering, or ML infrastructure with expert-level proficiency in Go, Rust, or Java.
- Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and a proven track record leading and scaling data pipelines using Kafka, Spark, or Flink.
- Deep expertise in database technologies (SQL and NoSQL) and advanced experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and MLOps practices for production ML systems.
- Expert knowledge of observability tools and standards, including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, OpenTelemetry, and Parquet, alongside extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Strong leadership and technical communication skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers, planning technical strategy, and driving decisions across multiple teams and stakeholders.
Why SentinelOne?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.
