• Hands on experience and in-depth understanding of Windows OS design & internals, Windows low-level development, Windows Kernel development, with debugging of Windows applications and familiarity with related standard debugging and profiling tools
• Previous experience of working on a production-grade product with a wide scale deployment
• Great communication skills and the ability to work both independently and with peers from different time zones, problem solving and Out-of-the-box thinking
• Attention to detail and high coding standards

The Platform team is a key part of SentinelOne’s all-star Windows EPP/EDR development group, and works on the core part of our business - Endpoint protection, awarded 3x in-a-row as Gartner Leader, as #1 in many Mitre Att&ck assessments, valued in Gartner Peer Insights and more.

We are in charge of different complex low-level areas, such as the agent’s Anti-Tampering (self-protection from a malware attempting to harm the agent), device drivers, network sensors, and other kernel-side features, in addition to usermode security infrastructures.

• As Staff (techlead-level) SW Engineer, and a new member of our distributed development scrum team, you will work primarily in kernel-mode and on drivers, and partially also user-mode, and deal with a large variety of fields.
• You will have the chance to design, develop primarily in modern C++ (20/23), test and debug the most complicated real world problems (often unseen before). In order to successfully deal with this challenge, you will continuously enrich your knowledge and experience with Windows OS internals, Windows Kernel, and the Endpoint Protection as well as Endpoint Detection & Response eco-system.
• Our team designs and executes significant new features, as well as rewrites and reimplements the existing ones from scratch. You will also deal with extraordinary performance & optimization challenges, given the scale of our cybersecurity SW (handling hundreds of billions of security events every day).
• Your work will influence the security of tens of millions of Windows devices, that we protect at enterprise & government customers across the globe (incl. 4 of Fortune 10 and hundreds of Global 2000 companies).
• You’ll be also encouraged to share knowledge within both the Platform team and the broader Windows group.
