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.

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 Senior Information Security Risk Specialist, you will be tasked with understanding and supporting the design of SentinelOne's organizational, procedural, and technological security controls within the context of the security frameworks applicable to SentinelOne, bringing a security-focused mindset that balances risk, business drivers, and timelines. You will identify and test appropriate controls to ensure they are designed, implemented, and operating effectively to mitigate risk, and help implement, automate, document, and maintain those controls while supporting and responding to inquiries from internal and external stakeholders. This role calls for someone who is self-directed and able to work independently and collaboratively.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• Support the planning and performance of IT risk-based security audits and projects, risk assessments, execution of fieldwork, and communication to stakeholders.
• Help evaluate relevant global standards, compliance frameworks, and regulations to analyze existing controls, identify areas for improvement, and design control growth.
• Collaborate with process and control owners through the audit lifecycle for process documentation updates, testing coordination, remediation of identified deficiencies, and advising on internal control enhancements or process changes, as appropriate.
• Proactively manage audit findings, tracking and documentation of status updates obtained via action owners, and timely execution of remediation activities.
• Participate in internal security and compliance programs and track recurring controls, such as SSAE 18 SOC 2 and ISO 27001/27002, and help support internal and external audits and evidence collection via a GRC tool.
• Provide control consultative support to the business to assist in redesign efforts that improve the control environment, with the objective of mitigating risk and improving compliance and operational performance.
• Document new and update existing policies, procedures, standards, and resources.
• Participate in the security awareness program, training personnel on data security and privacy-related processes and responsibilities.
• Help support customer security reviews, RFPs, and external security and privacy inquiries.
• Participate in defining, collecting, and tracking various security metrics.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5 or more years of experience working in information security, risk, or compliance.
• Experience working with security controls across at least some of the following domains: access management, encryption, risk management, network security, configuration management, patch management, change management, awareness and training, and BC/DRP.
• Ability to perform internal audits with minimal direct supervision, exhibit professional audit judgment, and experience in a broad range of audit projects such as SSAE 16/18 SOC 2, ISO 27001/2, and NIST.
• Strong risk management experience, performing assessments and audits, designing controls, managing enterprise control frameworks, and prioritizing risk.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage a variety of projects simultaneously to completion within agreed timelines.
• Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate effectively, in writing and verbally, to target audiences at all levels of the organization, including customers, partners, auditors, executive management, vendors, and peers.
• Experience working with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Ability and desire to understand the intent of requirements and provide effective recommendations.
• An advanced degree in computer science, information technology, information security, or a related field is preferred, as are relevant certifications such as ISO 27001 LA/LI, CISA, CISM, CISSP, or CRISC.
• Experience with, and a strong understanding of, common security compliance frameworks, controls, and best practices such as COSO, SOC 2, SOX ITGC, ISO 27001/27002, GDPR, PCI, and NIST is preferred, as is the ability to assess and pragmatically define scope and relevant controls, and a strong desire to continuously develop and deepen technical skills.
