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.

What Will You Do?

• Strategic Partnerships: Draft, review, and negotiate complex partnership agreements including OEM, technology licensing and alliance. Own deals end to end and support the Legal Director on the largest transactions.
• IP Licensing & Technology Rights: Negotiate IP ownership, license scope, data rights, and AI terms.
• Strategic Product Initiatives: Work with Product and GTM teams on new offerings and translate them into clear customer and partner terms.
• M&A Support: Conduct commercial contract diligence on acquisition targets, identify material risks in customer, partner, and IP agreements, and support post‑close contract integration and assignment workstreams.
• Advice & Issue Spotting: Give practical, business‑focused advice to deal teams. Identify material risks and elevate with a clear recommendation.
• Process & Playbooks: Help build the templates, playbooks, and processes that let the function scale.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with commercial, product/IP/AI, privacy, security, and procurement legal colleagues so that each strategic deal gets consistent, company‑wide positions.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited U.S. law school or equivalent, with an active license to practice law in a U.S. state.
• 8 or more years of legal experience with a focus on technology transactions, ideally a combination of top‑tier law firm and in‑house experience at a technology company.
• Strong working knowledge of IP licensing and complex technology agreements, including OEM, strategic alliance and SaaS.
• Fluency with AI tools and a track record of using them to work faster and smarter, whether in drafting, contract review, diligence or knowledge management.
• Proven ability to independently negotiate complex agreements with sophisticated counterparties.
• Business judgment and commercial instinct, with an understanding of the business behind the deal, not just the paper.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal issues in plain business terms.
• Cybersecurity and/or enterprise SaaS industry experience, as well as channel, OEM, and MSSP/service‑provider program experience, is preferred.
• Experience with terms for agentic or autonomous AI products, including training data, output rights and liability allocation, is preferred.
• M&A experience, particularly commercial diligence and post‑close contract integration (a plus, not required).
