Senior Forward Deploy Engineer (Fullstack - Java/React)
$132,000–$182,000 year
RemoteUnited States
Job Summary
Design and deliver fullstack integrations connecting SentinelOne products into customer environments, translating ambiguous requirements into shipped solutions while partnering with customer engineers. Own the end-to-end architecture of complex problems spanning multiple codebases, including work within the Singularity Data Lake and EventDB, and build tooling to scale the Forward Deploy function. Champion code quality by reviewing submissions, writing robust tests, and addressing escalated issues across distributed systems. Document technical trade-offs, create runbooks, and provide executive-level communication to enable customer independence.
Required Qualifications
- Solid computer science background
- 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)
- Working comfort in at least one additional language
- Experience in the cybersecurity domain
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in the cybersecurity domain is strongly preferred
- You value elegant code that is concise and readable
- You'll pick up new tools and codebases as the work demands
- You enjoy writing modern Java (we love lambdas) and prefer composition to inheritance
- You're comfortable weighing in on CAP theorem considerations
- You're energized by selecting the data structure with the perfect trade-offs for a problem at hand
- You're energized by walking into an unfamiliar codebase and being genuinely useful in a week
- You believe a vague customer request is an interesting technical problem waiting to be reframed
- 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
- You will likely end up working with modern Java, React, TypeScript, Kafka, Redis, GraphQL, Node.js, SentinelOne's own platform, and more
