About the Role

CrowdStrike is looking for a Cloud Software Engineer to join our Charlotte AI Engineering Team.

We expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike’s mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.

About the Product

CrowdStrike has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence (AI) since introducing AI-powered protection to replace signature-based antivirus over 10 years ago, and we’ve continued to deeply integrate it across our platform since. Using recent advances in Large Language Models technologies, CrowdStrike introduced Charlotte AI, a new generative AI security analyst. It uses the world’s highest-fidelity security data and is integrated with CrowdStrike’s threat hunters, managed detection and response operators, and incident response experts. Charlotte AI enables users of all skill levels to leverage Falcon Platform data while reducing security operations complexity and cost.
