Sr. Software Engineer - Risk Platform (Hybrid) at CrowdStrike

This role is designed for a veteran backend engineer with over 10 years of experience in high-scale distributed systems. While the team uses Golang, they are open to experts in Python or other OO languages who are willing to learn. You’ll be building the "Risk Platform," a central hub that aggregates security threats from across a global ecosystem, requiring deep knowledge of data engineering and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP). The position offers a strong compensation package (up to $215k base + equity) and the chance to work at a massive scale—processing trillions of events daily. A unique highlight is the integration of AI into the development lifecycle; they aren't just looking for a coder, but an engineer who uses AI tools to automate workflows and enhance code quality. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a decade of experience scaling microservices and handling massive data pipelines. * Are comfortable with a "polyglot" database approach, using everything from Cassandra and Kafka to Neo4j and Apache Pinot. * Are a mentor who enjoys helping junior engineers and influencing technical strategy. * Live near or are willing to work hybrid out of the Sunnyvale HQ.
