Staff Forward Deploy Engineer (Full Stack, Java/React)

Join SentinelOne as a Staff Forward Deploy Engineer, where you'll bridge the gap between our customers and our product. You'll work on customer integrations, deployments, and enablement, as well as contribute to the core product. This role requires deep proficiency in at least one production language (Java preferred) and experience working directly with customers or senior stakeholders. You'll have the opportunity to mentor other engineers and shape the future of the Forward Deploy Engineering team.

• Engager avec les clients pour comprendre leurs environnements, traduire des exigences ambiguës en solutions concrètes et construire des intégrations.
• Concevoir et livrer des intégrations qui connectent les produits de SentinelOne aux environnements des clients, en produisant la documentation nécessaire.
• Diriger des pièces substantielles de travail de bout en bout, sous ambiguïté, avec plusieurs parties prenantes, en veillant à la qualité du code et à la sécurité.
• We're seeking a seasoned colleague, able to own customer engagements end-to-end, inspire others as a Staff Forward Deploy Engineer, and lead technically across unfamiliar codebases and messy problem spaces
• Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes
• 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
• Deep proficiency in at least one production language (Java strongly preferred; 5+ years) and working comfort in at least one additional language
• Solid computer science background with 6+ years engineering experience including both backend and frontend
• Experience working directly with customers or senior stakeholders to shape technical solutions
• You value elegant code that is concise and readable
• You enjoy writing modern Java (we love lambdas) and prefer composition to inheritance
• You're comfortable weighing in on CAP theorem considerations, and are energized by selecting the data structure with the perfect trade-offs for a problem at hand
• Proven expertise designing and operating distributed systems or data-intensive services
• You'd rather ship a well-thought-out 80% that solves the real problem than a perfect 100% six weeks late. And you can teach others when to customize for one customer versus producing a general solution
• Track record of leading substantial pieces of work end-to-end, under ambiguity, with multiple stakeholders
• You'll pick up new tools and codebases as the work demands, and will likely end up working with modern Java, React, TypeScript, Kafka, Redis, GraphQL, Node.js, SentinelOne's own platform, and more
• 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
• We do not require a perfect match with everything below; however, the more this describes you, the better of a fit you will be for this role
• You can translate between engineers and non-engineers (customers, executives, sales, product, etc.) without losing precision in either direction
• You take mentorship seriously and enjoy seeing other engineers grow in their ability to solve harder problems
• 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 take pride in clear written communication — tickets, design docs, customer runbooks, and executive briefings alike
