Job description

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.

About the Role:
The charter of the Data + ML Platform team is to harness all the data that is ingested and cataloged within the Data LakeHouse for exploration, insights, model development, ML Engineering and Insights Activation. This team is situated within the larger Data Platform group, which serves as one of the core pillars of our company. We process data at a truly immense scale. Our processing is composed of various facets including threat events collected via telemetry data, associated metadata, along with IT asset information, contextual information about threat exposure based on additional processing, etc. These facets comprise the overall data platform, which is currently over 200 PB and maintained in a hyper scale Data Lakehouse, built and owned by the Data Platform team. The ingestion mechanisms include both batch and near real-time streams that form the core Threat Analytics Platform used for insights, threat hunting, incident investigations and more.

As an engineer in this team, you will play an integral role as we build out our ML Experimentation Platform from the ground up. You will collaborate closely with Data Platform Software Engineers, Data Scientists & Threat Analysts to design, implement, and maintain scalable ML pipelines that will be used for Data Preparation, Cataloging, Feature Engineering, Model Training, and Model Serving that influence critical business decisions. You’ll be a key contributor in a production-focused culture that bridges the gap between model development and operational success. Future plans include generative AI investments for use cases such as modeling attack paths for IT assets.

What You’ll Do:

• Help design, build, and facilitate adoption of a modern Data+ML platform
• Modularize complex ML code into standardized and repeatable components
• Establish and facilitate adoption of repeatable patterns for model development, deployment, and monitoring
• Build a platform that scales to thousands of users and offers self-service capability to build ML experimentation pipelines
• Leverage workflow orchestration tools to deploy efficient and scalable execution of complex data and ML pipelines
• Review code changes from data scientists and champion software development best practices
• Leverage cloud services like Kubernetes, blob storage, and queues in our cloud first environment

What You’ll Need:

• B.S. in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field and 7 + years related experience; or M.S. with 5+ years of experience; or Ph.D with 6+ years of experience.
• 3+ years experience developing and deploying machine learning solutions to production. Familiarity with typical machine learning algorithms from an engineering perspective (how they are built and used, not necessarily the theory); familiarity with supervised / unsupervised approaches: how, why, and when and labeled data is created and used
• 3+ years experience with ML Platform tools like Jupyter Notebooks, NVidia Workbench, MLFlow, Ray, Vertex AI etc.
• Experience building data platform product(s) or features with (one of) Apache Spark, Flink or comparable tools in GCP. Experience with Iceberg is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in distributed computing and orchestration technologies (Kubernetes, Airflow, etc.)
• Production experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, FluxCD
• Expert level experience with Python; Java/Scala exposure is recommended. Ability to write Python interfaces to provide standardized and simplified interfaces for data scientists to utilize internal Crowdstrike tools
• Expert level experience with CI/CD frameworks such as GitHub Actions
• Expert level experience with containerization frameworks
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, capable of working in a dynamic environment
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. Work with stakeholders across multiple teams and synthesize their needs into software interfaces and processes.

Experience with the Following is Desirable:

• Go
• Iceberg
• Pinot or other time-series/OLAP-style database
• Jenkins
• Parquet
• Protocol Buffers/GRPC

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:
