Senior Forward Deploy Engineer

Senior Forward Deploy Engineer at SentinelOne, working at the intersection of customer needs and product development, focusing on integrations, customizations, and platform improvements in a cybersecurity and AI-driven environment.

Location: Remote (US)

Salary: $132,000—$182,000 USD

Responsibilities

• Software Development (fullstack; primarily React/Java)
• Customer Engagement and Requirements Gathering
• Customer Integrations, Deployments, and Enablement
• Upstream Contributions to the Core Product
• Build and Review Technical Specifications
• Code Review
• Support and Team Collaboration

Requirements

• Solid computer science background with 4+ years engineering experience including both backend and frontend.
• Proven expertise designing and operating distributed systems or data-intensive services.
• Track record of leading substantial pieces of work end-to-end, under ambiguity, with multiple stakeholders.
• Experience working directly with customers or senior stakeholders to shape technical solutions.
• Deep proficiency in at least one production language (Java strongly preferred; 3+ years) and working comfort in at least one additional language.
• You value elegant code that is concise and readable.
• Experience in the cybersecurity domain is strongly preferred. (think SIEM, EDR/XDR, log pipelines, detection engineering, threat hunting, etc.)
• You're energized by walking into an unfamiliar codebase and being genuinely useful in a week, and by leading others through the same kind of work.
• You believe a vague customer request is an interesting technical problem waiting to be reframed, and that "a problem well-stated is half-solved."
• You can translate between engineers and non-engineers (customers, executives, sales, product, etc.) without losing precision in either direction.
• You'd rather ship a well-thought-out 80% that solves the real problem than a perfect 100% six weeks late.
• You take mentorship seriously and enjoy seeing other engineers grow in their ability to solve harder problems.
• You take pride in clear written communication — tickets, design docs, customer runbooks, and executive briefings alike.
