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

This role is designed for a seasoned backend expert with at least 10 years of experience managing large-scale distributed systems. Although the primary language is Golang, the team is open to experts in Python or other OO languages who are willing to learn. You should have a deep background in high-traffic data engineering, specifically working with message queues like Kafka and no-SQL databases like Cassandra or OpenSearch. You will be joining the Falcon Risk Platform team, where the focus is on building a "single pane of glass" for organizational risk. A standout feature of this position is the integration of AI-powered development; you'll be expected to use and organize AI agents and tools like Claude or GitHub Copilot to streamline the SDLC. While the role is listed as hybrid in Sunnyvale, it offers the stability of a market-leading cybersecurity firm with high-end equity awards and a culture of autonomy. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 10+ years of experience building and troubleshooting complex microservices and ETL pipelines. * Are comfortable with "big data" technologies like Kafka, Cassandra, and OLAP data stores (Apache Pinot). * Are eager to transition into Golang (if not already proficient) and work within the AWS ecosystem. * Want to mentor junior engineers while staying hands-on with architecture and code.
