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?
Since its inception, SentinelOne has been on a mission to make Security autonomous; to transform security operations from a reactive, high stakes grind into strategic, highly skilled knowledge work.
We are looking for a Senior AI Research leader who can grow and inspire teams of globally-distributed researchers and engineers, to further advance that mission. As part of the AI Center of Excellence within the Engineering organization, the AI Research team undertakes both tactical and strategic projects, aimed at delivering products and enhancing SentinelOne’s AI capabilities.
The ideal candidate will have:
- a track record of turning AI/ML research into successful capabilities
- a strategic understanding of the Security applications of AI/ML technology
- demonstrated ability to lead teams of Researchers and Engineers
- strong software engineering fundamentals
- experience in the training and tuning of large multi-modal models
