Staff Software Engineer - C++ Endpoint Security, Collection Engineering
As a Staff Software Engineer - C++ Endpoint Security, Collection Engineering (Data Protection Team), you will design and implement low-level C++ or Rust agent modules as a foundational member of our newly formed Data Protection unit. You will research and develop high-fidelity sensors and robust, scalable code to monitor and prevent sensitive data leakage across multiple operating systems. By building these mission-critical collection engines, you will play a key role in defining the technical architecture for SentinelOne’s next generation of data-centric security.
What will you do?
Primary responsibilities include:
Design and implement low-level agent modules (using C++ or Rust), capable of monitoring data access and movement with minimal performance overhead.
Research and evaluate technologies for building high-fidelity sensors that track data access.
Develop robust, scalable, and performant code that operates reliably across multiple operating systems and environments.
Collaborate closely with Core Agent, Backend, and Frontend teams to deliver a unified, user-facing, next-generation data protection product.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?
Ideal candidates will have:
4+ years of experience as a low-level software engineer, building complex systems in modern C++\C.
Hands-on experience with system-level development, debugging tools, and performance profiling.
Deep OS Expertise, with strong knowledge of operating system architecture and internals (Windows, Linux, and/or macOS).
A proven track record of shipping production-quality code to large-scale deployments, ensuring reliability across diverse environments and collaborating with multiple stakeholders.
It’d be great if you have experience with / or You’d learn & gain on our team:
Security Domain Expertise
Technical leadership experience
Exposure to a multi-stack environment, working across agent, backend, and frontend systems.
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.
