This is a high trust environment where team members manage their time, and we reward customer and business impact with competitive salaries and equity.

About the Role:

Our mission is to make all of our customers' security‑relevant data continuously available for automated detection and response, threat hunting, and other Falcon platform use cases. To enable this, the systems behind NG‑SIEM (next‑generation security information and event management) are growing to accommodate >100 PB of event and action data ingested every day, up to 10 years of retention, and dozens of millions of queries per hour across large sections of the data stored, for tens of thousands of customers. As an Engineer III on the NG‑SIEM Serverless Cell Platform team, you will contribute to ensuring the health, performance, and reliability of cell infrastructure – operating the security industry's largest SIEM platform while contributing to the automation and self‑healing systems that enable it to scale seamlessly.

What You'll Do:

• Monitor and maintain the health, performance, and reliability of LogScale cells. Respond to incidents and participate in follow‑the‑sun on‑call rotations with team support and clear escalation paths.
• Upgrade LogScale clusters and microservices using ring‑based rollout strategies. Deploy patches, update configurations, and recover cells when failures occur.
• Contribute to monitoring with defined Service Level Indicators. Help implement alerting, synthetic test suites, and operational dashboards for rapid troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
• Write Go microservices and automation scripts that transform manual operational procedures into automated workflows, reducing toil and enabling self‑healing capabilities.
• Work with product engineering and customer support teams to troubleshoot production issues and support changes across the platform.
• Learn and grow through mentorship opportunities, knowledge‑sharing sessions, and exposure to large‑scale distributed systems engineering challenges.

What You'll Need:

• A passion for reliability engineering and operational excellence, with strong understanding of how large‑scale distributed systems behave under pressure;
• 3+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure operations, with experience operating distributed systems;
• Exposure to capacity planning and resource optimization for infrastructure;
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (Go, Python, Java, or similar) for writing automation scripts and microservices;
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, OCI, or GCP) including compute, storage, networking, and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar);
• A can‑do attitude – you thrive collaborating in a team and are not afraid of taking on responsibilities;
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for writing runbooks, incident reports, and collaborating with teams across time zones;
• Willingness to learn how to balance operational stability with feature delivery needs.

Bonus Points:

• Hands‑on experience building monitoring systems, defining SLIs/SLOs, creating dashboards, and implementing alerting;
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills across distributed system components;
• Experience operating database infrastructure, log management platforms, search systems, or SIEM platforms at scale;
• Track record of building automation that enables self‑healing infrastructure and reduces operational toil;
• Experience with streaming platforms (Kafka or similar) and understanding of distributed data pipelines, backpressure, and partition management;
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, or similar);
• Background in cybersecurity, security operations, or familiarity with security data workflows;
• Interest in contributing to design docs, tech talks, and knowledge sharing within the team.

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world's leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware‑based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed—one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.

There's much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there's only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
