Position Overview

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. 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. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

Are you passionate about building cutting-edge cloud-based security solutions? Do you thrive on solving complex problems in high-volume, data-intensive environments? CrowdStrike is seeking a Senior Engineer II - Cloud to join our elite CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM team and drive the development of our advanced detections and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) solutions. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of designing and implementing innovative features that can handle trillions of events per day, empowering organizations to defend against sophisticated cyber threats with unprecedented efficiency. If you're ready to architect systems that operate at massive scale and make a significant impact on the future of cybersecurity, we want to hear from you.


What We’re All About

At CrowdStrike, we stop breaches. We’re here to protect data, systems, technology – and, most importantly, the people they serve. Our cloud-based security is the first line of defense for the data we safeguard, and we are proud of that. Because we know how important our software is, we work fiercely to make sure that what we create works for everyone who needs it, every time. We believe in one team, one fight, and our everyday work reflects that – our teams respect every member, and the people we work with care about the product and each other. We also understand that life is just as important as work, and treat time off and flexibility accordingly. We trust you to get the job done without having someone looking over your shoulder.


Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of cloud-native microservices for our Next-Gen SIEM platform, focusing on detections and UEBA capabilities that can process and analyze trillions of events per day.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of complex, high-impact projects across multiple teams, driving technical decisions and providing architectural guidance using collaborative tools like Miro.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to define, design, and implement solutions that enhance threat detection and analysis capabilities.
  • Contribute to the medium-term strategic and technical direction by identifying areas of greatest need, and creating plans for improvement.
  • Utilize and integrate technologies such as Go, Kafka, Redis, OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, and more to build robust, scalable solutions.
  • Optimize and scale existing systems for improved stability, performance, and reliability across business-critical infrastructure, using monitoring tools like Grafana to track and analyze system metrics.
  • Mentor junior engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
