As a DevOps Engineer, you will be tasked to join our On-Prem team. This team builds and operates the deployment, release, and operational tooling needed to run SentinelOne software reliably in customer-managed and self-hosted environments, while improving engineering efficiency, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

You will work closely with engineering, security, release, and support teams to improve how we package, deploy, patch, upgrade, and recover OnPrem environments across a wide range of customer footprints. The role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys solving hard infrastructure problems, improving operational reliability, and building repeatable automation for complex deployments.

What will you do:

Primary responsibilities include:

• Build and maintain automation for deployment, upgrade, patching, backup, and recovery workflows for OnPrem environments

• Own and improve release engineering workflows for customer-managed deployments, including patch releases and operational readiness

• Work on systems that help engineering teams deliver features safely, quickly, and reliably in self-hosted environments

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and development infrastructure using tools such as Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, and Ansible

• Partner with engineering teams to improve SDLC efficiency, deployment quality, and operational consistency

• Support Linux-based environments, including networking, kernel upgrades, container runtime operations, and platform troubleshooting

• Drive better vulnerability management practices across build and runtime environments using tools such as Syft and Grype

• Improve deployment models across virtualized and private infrastructure environments, including VMware and Nutanix

• Contribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and recovery planning for customer-facing OnPrem environments

• Define and monitor key operational metrics around reliability, throughput, failure rates, and release quality

What Skills and Knowledge Should You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• Strong hands-on experience with Ansible, Linux, networking, and kernel upgrades

• Solid experience with Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, and Docker Compose

• Experience designing and operating backup and recovery workflows for production systems

• Strong understanding of patch releases, upgrade strategies, rollback planning, and operational validation

• Experience with vulnerability and SBOM tooling such as Syft and Grype

• Hands-on experience working with at least one major public cloud provider: AWS, GCP, or Azure

• Experience building and operating reliable CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

• Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, containers, networking, and release workflows

• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, security, and support teams

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with a strong sense of ownership and operational rigor

Bonus Points:

• Experience contributing to open source projects

• Experience deploying and operating software on Nutanix and/or VMware

• Familiarity with coding agents and AI-assisted developer tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar systems

• Familiarity with GitOps frameworks and modern deployment strategies such as blue-green, rolling, or canary deployments

• Experience supporting…
