Employment Type: Full time

Position Overview:

CrowdStrike is seeking a Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Charlotte AI Engineering Team in Charlotte. This role involves building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems utilizing Golang and Large Language Models (LLMs). While prior experience with Golang and LLMs is beneficial, it is not a strict requirement. CrowdStrike is a leader in computer security, but prior experience in the security industry is not necessary for this position; training and mentorship in security topics will be provided. A strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with customer and product team needs are expected.

About the Product:

CrowdStrike has been a pioneer in AI since introducing AI-powered protection over a decade ago, replacing traditional signature-based antivirus. Our platform is deeply integrated with AI, and we have recently leveraged advancements in Large Language Models to create Charlotte AI, a generative AI security analyst. Charlotte AI utilizes the world's most accurate security data and is integrated with CrowdStrike's threat hunters, managed detection and response operators, and incident response experts. This innovative engine empowers users of all skill levels to leverage the Falcon Platform's data, reducing security operations complexity and cost.
