What are we looking for:

Join SentinelOne as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer and play a crucial role in building our infrastructure. SentinelOne’s XDR vision of one autonomous cybersecurity platform depends on our ability to collect, store, and analyze data efficiently. If you are interested in building infrastructure for data platforms that run reliably with 99.99% uptime, can scale to petabytes of data ingested every day (and >2 trillion events processed), and return queries with p95 latencies less than 5 seconds, you will love this opportunity.

Tools we use: Orchestration tools like Kubernetes (EKS, GKE), Jenkins, Github Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform, Self Hosted- Kafka/Redis.

US Eastern Time Zone preferred due to collaboration requirements with teams in Europe and India.

What will you do?

• Operate and maintain distributed data services—including Kafka and Redis—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+ 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 such as Kafka, Redis, and Cassandra, serving hundreds of product teams.

What skills and knowledge should you bring?

• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering, with a proven track record of operating stateful distributed systems at scale.
• Deep hands-on experience with 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.
  • EKS/GKE is desired (KOPS, + any other flavours nice to have)
    Experience with ingress controllers configuration and troubleshooting (traefik, gloo)

• Hands-on with GitOps and IAC:
• ArgoCD and/or Flux
• Terraform/Terragrunt is desired
• Experience with module development is nice to have
• CI/CD:
• Github Action / Jenkins
• Python/Golang knowledge (ability to automate day-to-day operations, read and understand the comments, and provide improvement suggestions)
• Cloud Infrastructure:
• AWS/GCP infra knowledge (core services + networking)
• Understanding of SRE principles
• SLA/SLO
• Understanding of Observability
• Incident response (role includes oncall)
• US Citizenship and the ability to work in a government-regulated environment
