Sentrilite
Real-Time Threat Detection & Response for Cloud Infrastructure

Join the Team Building the Future of Runtime Security

Sentrilite monitors every process, network connection, and privilege change on Linux and Kubernetes servers in real time — stopping attacks before they cause damage. We're a small, focused team solving hard problems at the intersection of systems programming, cloud security, and developer experience. If that excites you, we'd love to talk.

Open Positions

Senior Systems Engineer — Linux Security

Remote

Full-time

You'll work at the core of Sentrilite — building and improving the OS-level monitoring layer that intercepts process executions, network connections, memory operations, and privilege changes in real time. This role owns the most technically demanding part of the product: getting accurate, low-latency, high-coverage telemetry from the kernel without impacting production workloads.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of systems programming experience in C or Go on Linux
  • Deep familiarity with Linux kernel internals — process lifecycle, namespaces, capabilities, memory protection, syscall interface
  • Experience with low-level tracing or security tooling (kernel modules, seccomp, audit subsystem, or similar)
  • Understanding of container runtimes (Docker, containerd) and Kubernetes node architecture
  • Strong instincts for correctness, performance, and production safety

Security Engineer — Detection & Rules

Remote

Full-time

Sentrilite's detection quality is only as good as the rules and logic behind it. You'll own the detection engine — defining what constitutes malicious behaviour, building and tuning the rule set that ships with the product, and ensuring the security check suite covers the full attack surface. You'll work closely with both engineering and customers responding to newly disclosed CVEs.

Requirements

  • 4+ years in threat detection, incident response, or offensive security
  • Strong understanding of Linux attack techniques — privilege escalation, process injection, container escape, persistence, lateral movement
  • Experience mapping attacker techniques to OS-level observables (process trees, syscall patterns, network behaviour)
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes security posture and cloud misconfiguration assessment
  • Ability to write and reason about detection logic with low false-positive rates

Backend Engineer — Go / Cloud

Remote

Full-time

You'll build the server-side infrastructure that processes, stores, and serves security events — the alert pipeline, WebSocket event stream, rule engine, reporting layer, and API. Sentrilite runs as a lightweight agent on customer servers, and the backend must be fast, reliable, and deployable in air-gapped and cloud environments alike.

Requirements

  • 4+ years building production backend services in Go
  • Experience with real-time data pipelines and WebSocket or streaming architectures
  • Solid understanding of Linux, containers, and deployment patterns (Docker, Kubernetes DaemonSet)
  • Experience with cloud platforms — AWS, GCP, or Azure — including IAM, networking, and managed services
  • Strong opinions about API design, observability, and operational simplicity

Frontend Engineer — Security Dashboard

Remote

Full-time

Sentrilite's dashboard is the interface between the detection engine and the security teams who depend on it. You'll build the live event stream, alert filtering, rule editor, and PDF report generation — making complex security telemetry understandable and actionable in real time. This is a product where UI quality directly determines how quickly incidents get caught and responded to.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of frontend development with strong JavaScript / TypeScript fundamentals
  • Experience with real-time data interfaces — WebSockets, streaming, or live-updating UIs
  • Comfort working with data-dense interfaces: tables, filters, charts, timeline views
  • Eye for clean, professional design — security teams need clarity, not decoration
  • Familiarity with PDF generation or report-building in the browser is a bonus

DevOps / Platform Engineer

Remote

Full-time

You'll own the infrastructure and deployment story for Sentrilite — ensuring customers can install and run the agent in minutes, whether on a single Linux server or across a Kubernetes cluster spanning multiple cloud providers. You'll also manage our own CI/CD pipeline, build and publish Docker images, and maintain the AWS Marketplace listing.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in DevOps, platform, or SRE roles
  • Strong experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
  • Proficiency with AWS (EKS, ECR, Marketplace); GCP and Azure experience a plus
  • Solid scripting and automation skills (Bash, Python, or Go)
  • Experience publishing and maintaining software packages or Marketplace listings

Enterprise Sales — Cloud Security

Remote

Full-time

Sentrilite is gaining traction with security-conscious engineering teams at mid-market and enterprise companies. You'll own the sales cycle end-to-end — from initial outreach to close — and build the playbook for how we sell into DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, and CISO-level buyers. This is a founding sales role with significant upside and direct influence on product direction.

Requirements

  • 4+ years selling developer tools, security software, or infrastructure to technical buyers
  • Track record of closing deals with engineering or security teams at mid-market and enterprise companies
  • Ability to demo technical products credibly to both hands-on engineers and executive stakeholders
  • Familiarity with cloud security, runtime security, or Kubernetes environments
  • Comfort in an early-stage company — you'll build the process, not follow one

Product Marketing Manager

Remote

Full-time

Sentrilite solves genuinely hard security problems — your job is making sure the right people understand that. You'll own positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy, working closely with engineering to translate technical capabilities into compelling narratives for security buyers. You'll drive content, launch new features, manage the AWS Marketplace presence, and build the pipeline of inbound demand.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of product marketing at a B2B security, infrastructure, or developer tools company
  • Ability to deeply understand a technical product and write about it clearly for non-technical audiences
  • Experience running product launches and managing go-to-market timelines
  • Familiarity with cloud security, runtime security, or Kubernetes ecosystems
  • Experience with marketplace listings (AWS, Azure, GCP) is a strong plus

Customer Success Engineer

Remote

Full-time

You'll be the technical partner for Sentrilite customers — helping them deploy the agent, tune their detection rules, respond to findings, and get maximum value from the platform. You'll bridge engineering and customers: surfacing product feedback, building integration guides, and ensuring that every customer's security posture improves measurably over time.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in a technical customer success, solutions engineering, or security consulting role
  • Hands-on experience with Linux administration and Kubernetes operations
  • Understanding of cloud security fundamentals — IAM, network security, container security
  • Strong written and verbal communication — you'll write runbooks, integration guides, and customer-facing documentation
  • Genuine enthusiasm for security and helping customers improve their defences

Why Join Sentrilite?

We're building infrastructure that runs at the OS level on production servers — a technically demanding environment where correctness and performance matter enormously. If you care about systems programming, security engineering, or building developer tools that actually get used, this is the kind of work that doesn't come along often.

We're small on purpose. Every person here ships meaningful work, influences product direction, and talks directly to customers. There are no layers of process between a good idea and it being in production.

Hard Technical Problems

OS-level security monitoring, real-time event pipelines, detection rule engines — work that genuinely requires deep expertise and careful thinking.

Direct Customer Impact

Security teams rely on Sentrilite to detect real attacks. The work you ship matters the day it ships — not in a roadmap two years out.

Ownership & Autonomy

Small team means real ownership. You'll define how your area works, not execute someone else's spec.

Remote-First

We're fully distributed. We care about output, not hours logged or where you work from.
