What Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

As a Director, Software Engineering, Agent Platform, you will be tasked with leading the Agent Platform organization, which owns the control plane that every SentinelOne agent depends on: agent communication and configuration, agent management and health, and the detection services that turn agent telemetry into customer protection. When this platform is healthy, the rest of the product works; when it is not, customers feel it immediately. This is a US-based role leading a distributed organization of roughly 45 engineers across four teams in the Czech Republic, Israel, India and the United States, where you will own delivery, operational health and the customer- and executive-facing side of the domain in US business hours, and partner closely with the SaaS Platform architecture group driving the re-architecture of the platform.

This role requires candidates to be based in the EST or CST time zones, given the required overlap with globally distributed engineering teams.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

  • Own the domain end to end, including delivery, operational health, quality and roadmap commitments for the Agent Platform organization.
  • Drive reliability by continuing the reliability program already under way: reduce incident inflow, close corrective actions against a clock, and build the observability that catches problems before customers do.
  • Lead and grow managers: four engineering managers across three geographies report into this role. Develop them, hold a consistent bar, and build leadership depth in the organization.
  • Represent the domain to executives and customers, owning executive communication during incidents and in regular forums, and engaging directly with enterprise, MSSP and federal customers on platform questions.
  • Partner across the platform with the agent and endpoint organizations, the SaaS Platform architecture group, Product Management and SRE to land cross-domain outcomes.
  • Execute the re-architecture: the domain is part-way through moving from a monolithic control plane to a set of regional, horizontally scalable services, and onto a modern container-based deployment model. Own the delivery of that transition for your teams, while keeping the existing platform running for customers throughout.
  • Plan capacity and headcount, balancing reliability, re-architecture and feature delivery, and make the trade-offs explicit to Product and to leadership.
