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:

Join CrowdStrike's GenAI Hub team to help build and scale our rapidly growing internal Generative AI platform that serves over 8,000 active users across the company. You'll develop robust backend services powering our comprehensive GenAI ecosystem - from retrieval-augmented generation systems and inference load balancing to autonomous agents and model orchestration frameworks. Our platform is both a direct productivity tool for everyday use and a foundation for teams to develop their own AI-powered solutions and agentic applications.

About the Team:

You'll join a high-performing team of experienced engineers building CrowdStrike's central GenAI platform. We operate in a fast-paced environment where engineers are expected to own delivery of work with complete autonomy and trust. The team follows a startup mentality with weekly planning sessions and checkpoints, emphasizing quick execution without compromising quality. You'll collaborate closely with our data science team, UX designers, product managers, and AI champions from across the organization.

What You'll Do:

Design and implement scalable cloud services using Go in a cloud-native environment

Build reusable platform components and frameworks that other teams can leverage for their GenAI and agentic AI use-cases

Develop and operate secure LLM deployments in both cloud and on-prem environments

Create deep integrations with internal enterprise systems and establish frameworks for future connectors

Build high-performance data processing pipelines for document handling and retrieval-augmented generation

Engineer agentic workflows and autonomous agent capabilities that can perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention

Engage directly with internal users across departments to understand requirements and provide technical consultation

Own features end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation, including on-call responsibilities

Drive innovation in the rapidly evolving Generative AI landscape

What You'll Need:

7+ years of software engineering experience

Genuine passion for Generative AI technologies and applications

Strong proficiency in Go or any modern programming language for backend service development

Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures and microservices

Experience with AWS services (S3, Bedrock, Sagemaker, RDS)

Practical knowledge of operating production services - CI/CD, monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus), and Kubernetes

Strong grasp of multithreading, concurrency, and parallel processing

Experience with LLM integrations and AI/ML platforms

Knowledge of message queues and event-driven architectures

Experience in designing, building and maintaining APIs aligned with industry standards

Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Self-starter mentality with proven ability to drive projects independently

Comfortable managing multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Proactive in identifying and solving technical challenges

Strong collaboration skills for working with diverse stakeholders

Ability to make technical decisions with incomplete information

Enthusiasm for innovating in the agentic AI space, not just implementing existing solutions

Willingness to explore new approaches and challenge conventional thinking

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience as a technical lead or team lead, coordinating projects and partnering with engineering management on roadmap planning

Understanding of vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation implementations

Experience building agentic workflows and autonomous agent systems

Familiarity with Python for integration with AI/ML libraries and tools
