## Job description

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.

## About Us

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 Director of Developer Experience, you will be tasked with leading the organization responsible for how every engineer at the company builds, tests, ships, and operates software. You will own two interconnected functions: Infrastructure Services (CI/CD orchestration, GitOps continuous delivery, artifact management, and related platforms) and Developer Tooling (the teams that design and operate our CI/CD pipelines and internal developer platform). Critically, you will also define and execute our strategy for integrating AI across the software development lifecycle, from AI-assisted code generation and review to AI-driven engineering intelligence platforms.

Developer experience is one of the highest-leverage investments an engineering organization can make, and AI is the largest shift in how software is built in a generation. The Director of Developer Experience will directly shape how hundreds of engineers spend their day, how quickly we ship, how confidently we operate in production, and how effectively we harness AI across the SDLC. This is a critically important role with executive visibility and a clear mandate to deliver measurable results.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

- Lead, grow, and develop a multi-team organization of managers and senior engineers spanning Infrastructure Services and Developer Tooling.
- Define and execute the vision for developer experience, including build, test, deployment, artifact management, internal platform capabilities, and AI-augmented developer workflows.
- Own the strategy and rollout of AI tooling across the SDLC, including AI coding assistants, AI code review and PR automation, AI-assisted test generation, and AI engineering intelligence platforms. Drive adoption, measure impact, and ensure these tools are deployed safely and effectively.
- Ensure the availability, performance, and security of the systems that engineers depend on every day.
- Drive the evolution of CI/CD pipelines to be faster, more reliable, more self-service, and more secure, including embedding AI capabilities such as automated triage, intelligent test selection, and AI-assisted incident response.
- Establish metrics and use them to drive measurable improvement in developer productivity.
- Partner with security, legal, and AI leadership to set policy for AI-generated code, IP and licensing, data handling, model selection, and acceptable-use guardrails.
- Partner with security, SRE, product engineering, architecture, and AI/ML teams to align on standards, golden paths, and shared platforms.
- Own the budget, tooling investments, and vendor relationships for the developer experience portfolio, including AI tooling spend.
- Recruit, mentor, and retain exceptional engineering leaders and individual contributors.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

- 10+ years of progressive engineering experience, including 5+ years of engineering management and at least 2+ years leading managers (managing managers).
- Demonstrated track record in building and scaling developer experience, platform engineering, or DevOps organizations in a mid-to-large engineering org.
- Deep, hands-on familiarity with the modern CI/CD and developer tooling stack: Jenkins, ArgoCD, Artifactory or equivalents.
- Practical experience evaluating, rolling out, and measuring the impact of AI developer tooling.
- A clear point of view on how AI changes the SDLC and how to capture that value without compromising on security, code quality, or developer trust.
- Strong understanding of Kubernetes, GitOps, containerization, and cloud-native deployment patterns.
- Experience in defining and operating internal developer platforms and golden paths.
- Excellent strategic thinking paired with a willingness to go deep on technical decisions when needed.
- Strong communication and executive presence; able to influence across engineering and partner with security, compliance, legal, and product leadership.
- A demonstrated bias toward developer empathy, self-service, and reducing toil.
