Position Overview

CrowdStrike is a global leader in cybersecurity, protecting people, processes, and technologies that drive modern organizations. We are seeking a Sr. Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing ML Platform Engineering Team. In this role, you will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable ecosystems. You will collaborate with various teams across the company to deliver solutions for challenging and high-value projects.

• Create backend microservices, pinpointing and addressing critical concerns to implement effective solutions.
• Utilize established CrowdStrike tools and services to build solutions for detecting and countering targeted cyber assaults.
• Construct and maintain data pipelines, and contribute to the training and implementation of custom models.
• Collaborate across various teams to brainstorm, define, and devise solutions.
• Commit to ongoing learning and self-improvement.
• Stay attuned to customer challenges, always seeking ways to enhance support.
• Emphasize top-tier coding quality by adhering to best practices, rigorous testing, and thorough logging and metrics.
• Work within a collaborative and agile team environment.
• Contribute to mentoring fellow engineers across a spectrum of technologies and absorb knowledge from them.
• Constantly explore ways to refine product architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance, and reliability.
• Own your work end-to-end: develop, test, deploy, and monitor your changes with autonomy.
• Thrive in an environment that highly values trust.

Tech Stack (Learning capacity is essential, not mandatory to know everything)

• High-level coding languages such as JVM technologies or Python
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• AWS, GCP, or MaaS
• Kafka, Cassandra, and Spark
• ElasticSearch
• Terraform, Chef, or Ansible

What You'll Need

• Any STEM undergraduate degree.
• Prior work experience with big data and microservices.
• Understanding of scalability and distributed systems (e.g., sharding, partitioning, concurrency).
• Be a team player.
• A thorough understanding of engineering best practices, including appropriate testing paradigms, effective peer code reviews, and resilient architecture.
• The ability to thrive in a test-driven, collaborative, and iterative programming environment.
• Skills to meet commitments on time and produce high-quality software that is unit tested, code reviewed, and checked in regularly for continuous integration.

Bonus Points

• Existing exposure to AWS and distributed systems.
• Experience with Language Models, Data Science, and Data Engineering.
• Prior experience in the cybersecurity or intelligence fields.
