About the Falcon Platform

Falcon is CrowdStrike's purpose-built platform designed to stop breaches through a unified suite of cloud-delivered technologies that prevent all types of attacks, including malware and much more. CrowdStrike stores over 15 petabytes of data in the cloud, which it uses to make decisions on upward of 1 trillion security events daily.

About the Role

As part of the Cloud Engineering Platform Data organization, you will build globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud-based systems using a microservices architecture. You will lay the foundation enabling CrowdStrike to continue pushing the state of the art for security services. Many other teams will leverage the core infrastructure components you help build to further enhance security products and make cyberspace a safer place.

You will join a team building a Global Query Engine ecosystem, a set of components enabling internal and external partners to access and join data from multiple underlying stores. The technology is built in-house and powered by Cassandra, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Kafka, Kubernetes, and Go.

This is an excellent opportunity to join our talented team of technology enthusiasts, learn, and contribute to one of the most revolutionary platforms in the cybersecurity space. We will teach you Go if you don't already know it!
