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 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.

About the Role:

We're a remote-friendly company and the role is open to all candidates in Romania, full-time remote all the time.

Falcon is the CrowdStrike platform purpose-built to stop breaches via a unified set of cloud-delivered technologies that prevent all types of attacks — including malware and much more.

As part of the Cloud Engineering Platform Data organization you will build globally distributed, fault-tolerant and highly-scalable cloud-based systems using microservices architecture. You will lay the foundation that will enable CrowdStrike to continue pushing the state of the art for security services. Many other teams will be leveraging the core pieces of infrastructure you help build to further enhance security products and make cyberspace a safer place.

You would be part of a team which is building a Global Query Engineecosystem , a set of components that will enable internal and external partners to access and join data from multiple underlying stores. The technology is built in-house and powered by Cassandra, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Kafka, Kubernetes and Go.

This is an excellent opportunity to join our talented team of technology enthusiasts, learn and also contribute to one of the most revolutionary platforms in the cyber security space.
