About Us:

SentinelOne is defining the future of cybersecurity through our XDR platform that automatically prevents, detects, and responds to threats in real-time. Singularity XDR ingests data and leverages our patented AI models to deliver autonomous protection. With SentinelOne, organizations gain full transparency into everything happening across the network at machine speed – to defeat every attack, at every stage of the threat lifecycle.

We are a values-driven team where names are known, results are rewarded, and friendships are formed. Trust, accountability, relentlessness, ingenuity, and OneSentinel define the pillars of our collaborative and unified global culture. We're looking for people that will drive team success and collaboration across SentinelOne. If you’re enthusiastic about innovative approaches to problem-solving, we would love to speak with you about joining our team!

What are we looking for?

The EventDB team is responsible for SentinelOne's highly-scalable columnar database, ingesting billions of events every day and enabling search-ability and insight for our customers into their data. Our team solves non-trivial scale and data problems with a unique blending of cloud, distributed systems, and software optimization techniques and services.

Does this sound like you?

  • You are passionate about building high-scale distributed systems

  • You have successfully designed and implemented elegant and simple distributed systems to solve complex problems
  • You can discuss CAP theorem tradeoffs and give examples
  • You enjoy writing modern Java (we love lambdas), and prefer composition to inheritance
