Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day. We have 3.44 PB of RAM deployed across our fleet of C* servers - and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers.

  • Design and implement scalable cloud services using Go in a cloud-native environment
  • Build reusable platform components and frameworks that other teams can leverage for their GenAI and agentic AI use-cases
  • Develop and operate secure LLM deployments in both cloud and on-prem environments
  • Create deep integrations with internal enterprise systems and establish frameworks for future connectors
  • Build high-performance data processing pipelines for document handling and retrieval-augmented generation
  • Engineer agentic workflows and autonomous agent capabilities that can perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention
  • Engage directly with internal users across departments to understand requirements and provide technical consultation
  • Own features end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation, including on-call responsibilities
  • Drive innovation in the rapidly evolving Generative AI landscape

What You'll Need

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • Genuine passion for Generative AI technologies and applications
  • Strong proficiency in Go or any modern programming language for backend service development
  • Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures and microservices
  • Experience with AWS services (S3, Bedrock, Sagemaker, RDS)
  • Practical knowledge of operating production services - CI/CD, monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus), and Kubernetes
  • Strong grasp of multithreading, concurrency, and parallel processing
  • Experience with LLM integrations and AI/ML platforms
  • Knowledge of message queues and event-driven architectures
  • Experience in designing, building and maintaining APIs aligned with industry standards
