About the role

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in infrastructure/platform engineering, with a proven track record of operating stateful distributed systems at scale.

  • Hands-on with GitOps and IAC: ArgoCD and/or Flux
  • Terraform/Terragrunt is desired
  • CI/CD: Github Action / Jenkins
  • Python/Golang knowledge (ability to automate day-to-day operations, read and understand the comments, and provide improvement suggestions)
