As a Senior+ contributor, you'll join this Core Platform Team with bottom-up visibility and partial ownership of a broad codebase in either Counter Adversary Operations, our Identity Product Suite, or our Threat Intelligence group, with a far-reaching edict for service resiliency and several critical architecture initiatives underway: building out Unified Search, Protobuf libraries and other shared-tier architectural components, building improvements to core libraries and product services, observability tooling (tracing, profiling, alerting, SLOs etc), and large scale automations including for the build of new clouds, which we'll be doing a lot of for the near future. Crowdstrike Falcon is THE industry standard in cloud-native cyber security and threat hunting, processing Trillions of events/day, which puts unique scaling burdens on our servers, and this group is in many ways the solve-all to the needs that creates. Recently our Core Team introduced adaptive concurrency to our core kafka library which implements flow control to protect database performance, and we are presently making large-scale automations around how we build new clouds. In terms of overarching goals, we’re building the next-generation infrastructure and security platform for CrowdStrike which include an application and service delivery platform, massively scalable distributed data storage and replication systems, and a cutting-edge search and distributed graph system. If you’re a math-brained or algorithmic thinker who loves optimization at its core, then we’ve got the role to put your strengths to work! Help us scale CrowdStrike’s infrastructure and products to handle massive growth in traffic and data as we continue to experience dramatic growth in the usage of our products.
