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.

Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Charlotte AI Engineering Team. You will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang and Large Language Models. Prior experience with Golang and LLMs is helpful but not required.

We do not require candidates to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. A strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and the needs of our product teams and customers is expected.

CrowdStrike has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence (AI) since we first introduced AI-powered protection to replace signature-based antivirus over 10 years ago, and we have deeply integrated it across our platform since.

Using advances in Large Language Models, CrowdStrike introduced Charlotte AI, a new generative AI security analyst. It uses high-fidelity security data and integrates with threat hunters, managed detection and response operators, and incident response experts. Charlotte AI empowers users of all skill levels to leverage Falcon Platform data while reducing security operations complexity and cost.
