The Opportunity – Senior Staff Software Engineer (Observo.ai)

We’re seeking a Senior Staff Software Engineer to join Observo.ai, SentinelOne’s AI-driven observability and data optimization platform. You’ll play a leading role in designing and scaling high-performance systems that handle massive telemetry data streams—improving efficiency, reducing costs, and unlocking richer insights for enterprise customers.

This is a senior-level, hybrid position based at our Mountain View, CA headquarters, where you’ll help define the architecture and strategy for some of the most advanced data systems in cybersecurity.

What You’ll Do

Lead the architectural design and long-term technical strategy for petabyte-scale data pipelines processing telemetry logs, metrics, and traces.
Develop and optimize ML-powered routing, filtering, and transformation systems that dramatically reduce data volume while preserving mission-critical visibility.
Architect cloud-native microservices and APIs that integrate seamlessly with leading observability tools (e.g. Splunk, Elastic, Datadog, New Relic).
Implement real-time analytics and anomaly detection solutions leveraging LLMs and advanced machine learning frameworks.
Champion observability by defining robust monitoring, alerting, and telemetry practices across distributed systems.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Data Science, and DevOps to translate strategic goals into actionable technical solutions.
Drive optimization across performance, scalability, cost, and reliability using profiling, benchmarking, and infrastructure design.
Mentor and lead engineers, fostering technical excellence and knowledge sharing within and beyond your team.
Evaluate emerging technologies in AI/ML, data engineering, and observability—ensuring SentinelOne stays ahead of the curve.
Contribute to company-wide engineering standards, influencing how large-scale distributed systems are designed and delivered.

What You Bring

10+ years’ experience in software engineering with deep expertise in distributed systems, data platforms, or ML infrastructure.
Proficiency in Go, Rust, or Java, with a strong grasp of software architecture, system design, and performance tuning.
Experience with cloud ecosystems (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker).
Proven ability to design and scale data pipelines using frameworks like Kafka, Spark, or Flink.
Strong command of database technologies — SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis).
Experience deploying and maintaining production-grade ML systems with TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
Expertise in observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and enterprise data standards (OpenTelemetry, JSON, Parquet).
Skilled in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines for automation and reliability.
Exceptional communication and leadership skills; proven experience influencing architecture and driving alignment across teams.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Work at the cutting edge of cybersecurity and AI—solving unprecedented data challenges at global scale.
Shape the technical direction of Observo.ai, a platform redefining how organizations handle observability data.
Collaborate with world-class engineers, researchers, and product leaders in a high-growth, innovation-driven environment.
Drive initiatives that deliver real-world business impact and cost savings for enterprise customers.
