About Us:

SentinelOne is defining the future of cybersecurity through our XDR platform that automatically prevents, detects, and responds to threats in real-time. Singularity XDR ingests data and leverages our patented AI models to deliver autonomous protection. With SentinelOne, organizations gain full transparency into everything happening across the network at machine speed – to defeat every attack, at every stage of the threat lifecycle.

We are a values-driven team where names are known, results are rewarded, and friendships are formed. Trust, accountability, relentlessness, ingenuity, and OneSentinel define the pillars of our collaborative and unified global culture. We’re looking for people that will drive team success and collaboration across SentinelOne. If you’re enthusiastic about innovative approaches to problem-solving, we would love to speak with you about joining our team!

What Are We Looking For?

We are continuously expanding the capabilities of SentinelOne, actively listening to customers and responding to their needs. We are looking for a Staff-level AI / Machine Learning Researcher who will be directly involved in developing our core technology and ensuring we are always staying ahead of cybercriminals.
What Will You Do?

• You’ll be part of a team of globally distributed AI engineers and researchers, focused on bringing the most recent advances in machine learning technology to help our customers efficiently discover and defeat threats. We’re the team behind products such as PurpleAI (released for general availability in April 2024, see also the latest demo), awarded one of the Top10 hottest cyber products of 2023, and more!
• As a ML specialist on the team, you will ideate and create features that will help our engineering teams as well as support our customers by providing better visibility into the health of the endpoints in the field.
