Job Details
#WeAreCrowdStrike and our mission is to stop breaches. As a global leader in cybersecurity, our team changed the game. Since our inception, our market leading cloud-native platform has offered unparalleled protection against the most sophisticated cyberattacks. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing over 1 trillion events a day with a petabyte of RAM deployed in our Cassandra clusters - and this traffic is growing daily. We're looking for people with limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to developing and shaping our cybersecurity platform. Consistently recognized as a top workplace, CrowdStrike is committed to cultivating an inclusive, remote-first culture that offers people the autonomy and flexibility to balance the needs of work and life while taking their career to the next level. Interested in working for a company that sets the standard and leads with integrity? Join us on a mission that matters - one team, one fight.
About the Role:
You will be a Principal Engineer within Data Platform, both leading/guiding design and development as well as contributing in a quite hands-on capacity with Spark/Flink data processing and Java/Scala microservices development, owning much of the launch of a new platform which is driving industry-leading innovation on a hyper scale security data lake that helps find bad actors and stop breaches. The team builds and operates systems to centralize all of the data from Falcon Sensors and 3rd Party sources - derived from trillions of events/day - making it easy for all customers to utilize the platform for batch and streaming analytics, machine learning and threat hunting. As an especially senior member of the engineering team, you will contribute to the full spectrum of our systems, from query processing, building scalable pipelines using different frameworks for ingestion, materialized views, transformation, data storage, as well as tools and applications to make data available to thousands of users and hundreds of internal systems.
What You'll Do:
Shape the vision of our Analytics Data Platform for its next phase of growth: building a Unified Data Catalog as well as Query Analysis for structured data stored in different forms (columnar vs graph), and building and optimizing query performance using different techniques of indexing and data partitioning. Familiarity with various big data frameworks is required for this role.
