Senior Backend Engineer (Go, Python) - Endpoint Protection

About the team & role

Our team is responsible for Endpoint Protection services, and covers end-to-end from agent to backend to frontend the following areas:

• Building services that process traffic between SentinelOne's Agent (which is responsible for protection across all kinds of OS - Windows, Linux, macOS) and our cloud-based Management console, and building common modules (like a communicator layer written in Rust)
• Developing a big part of backend of this Management console itself (which is in short a large-scale distributed system, a complex "control application" used by IT security teams of S1 clients - that can be seen in many S1 vs. Ransomware demos) and the management of the "fleet" of agents deployed on endpoints in client's environments (backends written in Go and Python and deployed in Kubernetes)

We’re a team with a significant impact on how our customers environments are protected, and how they interact with agents. As core team at S1, we're heavily involved in every end-to-end effort, features development and are key contributors to the design and build of the right architecture of S1's cybersecurity solution to match the scale & triple-digit-growth of our business.

As Senior Software Engineer and a new member of our team, you will take part in building our next-generation endpoint security offering.

• You will be a stakeholder in the architecture, design, and implementation of a multi-disciplinary cloud-native cybersecurity software platform that serves thousands of users from security teams at enterprise & government customers across the globe (incl. 3 of Fortune 10 and hundreds of Global 2000) and protects tens of millions of endpoints & billions of events every day.
• Software engineers on our team are independent, they lead the features E2E, come up with own improvements in infrastructure and performance components, have the space to promote their own ideas, design & implement them; they own very important flows at S1 and deal with extraordinary performance and optimization challenges, given the scale of our cybersecurity services.

Your main tools: Golang (used for the new development) and some limited Python; AWS; Postgres, Redis, Kafka; Kubernetes, Docker; GitHub etc.
