WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

SentinelOne is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Observo AI team in India,
our cutting-edge AI-driven data pipeline optimization platform. This role will
be responsible for developing and maintaining high-performance systems that
process massive volumes of telemetry data while reducing costs and improving
insights for enterprise customers.

We're looking for someone who errs on the side of simplicity, who has a passion
for craftsmanship in code, and who believes deeply in the value of testing. You
should be the kind of engineer who writes tests even when nobody is
watching—because you understand that quality matters. We value engineers who
enjoy performance tuning, extracting the last ounce of efficiency from systems,
and who are excited about working with databases, distributed systems, and open
source technologies.

This role is part of the Observo AI engineering organization and offers the
opportunity to work on innovative technology that directly impacts enterprise
data management at scale. This is a hybrid role with 3 days in our Bengaluru
office.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

* Develop and maintain scalable data processing pipelines that handle large
volumes of telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces)
* Build and enhance ML-driven data routing, filtering, and transformation
components to optimize customer data volumes while preserving critical
insights
* Implement real-time analytics and monitoring features using modern software
engineering practices
* Work with cloud-native microservices and APIs that integrate with major
observability platforms (Splunk, Elastic, Datadog, New Relic)
* Contribute to monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions for
distributed systems
* Write comprehensive tests for all code changes, ensuring reliability and
maintainability
* Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and collaborative development
practices
* Collaborate with senior engineers, Product, and DevOps teams to deliver
customer-focused solutions
* Conduct performance and scale testing to optimize system efficiency
* Learn and apply emerging technologies in AI/ML, data engineering, and
observability
* Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing within the team

WHAT SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE SHOULD YOU BRING?

* 3+ years of software engineering experience with focus on backend
development, distributed systems, or data processing
* Demonstrated commitment to code quality and testing practices throughout your
career
* Experience that shows you care about the craft of software engineering
* Strong proficiency in Go, Java, Python, or similar programming languages with
understanding of software engineering best practices
* Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization
technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
* Familiarity with data processing frameworks such as Apache Kafka, Apache
Spark, or streaming technologies
* Basic understanding of database technologies including SQL (PostgreSQL,
MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) systems
* Understanding of data formats and protocols commonly used in enterprise
systems (JSON, REST APIs, message queues)
* Experience with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD practices
* Strong belief in testing—you write tests even when you have the freedom to
skip them
* Bias toward simplicity and maintainability in software design
* Interest in performance and scale testing; you enjoy tuning systems for
maximum efficiency
* Passion for craftsmanship in code quality and attention to detail
* Commitment to continuous learning and improvement
* Good communication skills with ability to collaborate effectively in a team
environment
* Experience with or interest in pair programming and extreme programming
practices

* Contributor to open source projects, particularly in databases, distributed
systems, or observability
* Experience with machine learning concepts and frameworks (TensorFlow,
PyTorch, scikit-learn)
* Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana,
or ELK stack
* Personal projects demonstrating passion for databases, distributed systems,
or performance optimization
