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 proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation.

Our team owns the streaming engine that processes all first-party sensor telemetry and maintains a petabyte-scale graph of real-time system activity, and the distributed correlation engine that evaluates trillions of events a day to catch multi-stage attacks that no single event can surface. Both systems are at the core of how CrowdStrike finds adversaries.\nWe're looking for someone who is excited about working in systems programming: custom query languages, graph databases, state machines, performance work where microseconds matter.
