About the Group:

As part of CrowdStrike's cutting-edge Falcon Exposure Management pillar, you'll be at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, elevating our industry-leading "stopping breaches" mission to unprecedented levels of sophistication and visibility. You'll architect and build the foundational risk intelligence platform that powers next-generation security insights, leveraging advanced algorithms, AI, and machine learning to deliver comprehensive visibility into risk compounding, attack path analysis, and posture scoring across hybrid environments—spanning hosts, cloud infrastructure, and identity assets.

In this pivotal role, you'll harness cutting-edge technologies to engineer robust backend services that seamlessly ingest massive data streams, execute complex risk calculations, and deliver intelligent remediation automation. Working primarily with Golang microservices architecture and diverse database ecosystems, you'll build scalable solutions that protect organizations worldwide from evolving cyber threats.

As a technical leader, you'll drive end-to-end product delivery, architect scalable solutions, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to define priorities and scope. Your expertise will directly influence the cybersecurity landscape, protecting organizations from sophisticated threats while advancing state of the art technology in exposure management.

What You'll Need:

  • 8-10 years of production experience building, delivering, and maintaining large-scale distributed systems processing high-volume data

  • Advanced programming expertise in object-oriented languages with strong typing (we primarily use Golang and Python—we'll help you master our stack!)

  • Proven microservices experience with designing scalable REST APIs and distributed communication patterns

  • Strong cloud infrastructure knowledge with major providers (AWS preferred, plus Azure and GCP) for provisioning, monitoring, and optimization

  • Solid distributed systems understanding including concurrency, parallel processing, and scalability patterns (sharding, eventual consistency, caching strategies)

  • Message queue proficiency, particularly Kafka (message design, throughput estimation, lag monitoring, and performance considerations)

  • Database versatility across RDBMS/SQL (PostgreSQL preferred) and distributed caching solutions like Redis

  • System troubleshooting expertise for complex distributed architectures with focus on performance and reliability

  • Engineering best practices experience including testing strategies, code reviews, and resilient architecture design

  • Collaborative technical skills with ability to mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical decisions

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent professional experience

  • Strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and system design principles

  • Machine learning or AI implementation experience

  • Elasticsearch expertise for full-text search of logs and event data

  • Cassandra and CQL experience with wide-column databases

  • Graph database knowledge and experience with graph structures

  • Docker and Kubernetes experience

  • Open source contributions or technical involvement
