Staff AI Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Services

Our Purpose

At SentinelOne, we are driven by a clear purpose: to give the advantage to those who secure our future. As AI reshapes how organizations build, operate, and innovate, the responsibility to protect them becomes more critical than ever. When you join SentinelOne, your work helps protect global enterprises, critical infrastructure, and the technologies shaping tomorrow. If you are motivated by meaningful challenges and want your impact to be real, measurable, and global, you will find purpose here.

SentinelOne is a company at the intersection of AI and security, pioneering a new operating model for cybersecurity. Our AI-native platform unifies protection across endpoint, cloud, identity, data, and AI systems to deliver autonomous detection and response with clarity and speed. By combining real-time analytics, intelligent automation, and a unified data foundation, we reduce noise, simplify complexity, and empower security teams to focus on what truly matters.

Our teams are builders, problem-solvers, and innovators committed to shaping the future of security. If you are excited to solve hard problems alongside talented, mission-driven people, we invite you to help us build a safer future for humanity.

What Are We Looking For?

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. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

As a Staff AI Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Services, you will be tasked with taking ownership of our AI Gateway infrastructure (built on Kong AI Gateway), the system that authenticates, routes, rate-limits, and monitors AI coding assistant traffic org-wide, while also being fluent enough across our broader platform stack to design solutions that span the two. This is a high-autonomy, high-scope role: you will set technical direction for AI infrastructure, drive incident response and reliability work, and partner closely with the engineers who own our CI/CD, GitOps, and artifact systems rather than working in isolation from them.

What Will You Do?

• Work on the AI Gateway platform: architect, harden, and scale our Kong AI Gateway deployment (Konnect Hybrid on KCP/EKS), including auth (Okta/OIDC), consumer tiers and budgets, rate limiting, semantic caching, and observability.

• Lead reliability and incident response: drive root-cause analysis and remediation for gateway issues (timeouts, latency, capacity, failover) and build the monitoring/alerting needed to catch them before users do.

• Design across the platform, not just the gateway: work fluently with our CI/CD (Jenkins, JPAAS), GitOps and Kubernetes deployment tooling (ArgoCD across dev/gov/prod), artifact management (Artifactory/Xray), GitHub Enterprise administration, and GitHub Actions runner fleet, so that AI infrastructure decisions account for how the rest of the platform actually works.

• Evaluate and roll out AI developer tooling: run structured pilots and adoption efforts for tools like AI-assisted PR review (Qodo) and engineering metrics platforms (LinearB), and make clear build-vs-buy recommendations.

• Set technical direction and mentor: define architecture and standards for AI infrastructure, review designs across the team, and raise the bar for other engineers working in this space.

• Partner cross-functionally: work directly with security, DevEx, and product engineering teams consuming the gateway to translate their needs into platform capabilities.

• Host and serve local
