What are we looking for?

We are continuously expanding SentinelOne's capabilities, actively listening to customers and responding to their needs.

As we're expanding our presence in EMEA, we're looking for multiple colleagues for macOS team - so it's a unique chance for you to join together as a team with other folks you enjoy working with!

At SentinelOne, you will be a part of a team of globally distributed system and kernel developers who work deeply within the 3 main OS’s of the world: Windows, Linux, macOS - and create our flagship productline Endpoint Protection, recognized 5x in-a-row as Gartner Leader.

In our macOS team, we are responsible for researching and identifying emerging threats/issues and providing appropriate responses. We also work closely with Product, Support, Sales (in order to win multi-million dollar deals), other R&D engineers, and Quality Assurance to ensure any new issues are quickly addressed and then made a part of the ongoing releases.

You will work directly on our macOS core technology, running on millions of endpoints (in different environments, from C-levels to developers) across thousands of enterprise and government clients worldwide. Your role will also involve responding to events that occur in the field, root-causing them, and issuing patches when needed. You will participate in implementation and design decisions around improving agent architecture and new feature development.

What skills and knowledge should you bring?

  • Must have: Strong proficiency coding in Objective-C and multiple years of SW engineering experience for macOS (macOS is highly preferred, but iOS cybersecurity SW product development experience would be also considered relevant)
    • Experience level is flexible, Senior/Staff+ engineers are encouraged to apply!
  • Experience in systematically root-causing complex OS systems
  • Understanding of macOS user space and internals

Advantages:

  • Experience developing OS drivers & system extensions or with more than one OS is a plus
  • Experience managing escalations or issues requiring highly coordinated efforts to identify service restoration
  • Experience with system performance analysis and mitigations, and with large-scale event processing systems
  • Cybersecurity experience or exposure to macOS endpoint security platforms
  • Swift experience is beneficial but not required

Why us?

You will work on real-world problems and make an impact by protecting our customers from cyber threats. You will be joining a cutting-edge project and will be able to influence the architecture, design, and structure of our core platform.
