About the Role

As an engineer in this team, you will play an integral role as we build out our ML Platform & GenAI Studio from the ground up. Since the launch of ChatGPT, # Phishing attacks has increased by 138% and hence the ML platform is a critical capability for Crowdstrike in its fight against bad actors. For this mission we are building a team in Bangalore. You will collaborate closely with Data Platform Software Engineers, Data Scientists & Threat Analysts to design, implement, and maintain scalable ML pipelines that will be used for Data Preparation, Cataloguing, Feature Engineering, Model Training, and Model Serving that influence critical business decisions. You’ll be a key contributor in a production-focused culture that bridges the gap between model development and operational success. Future plans include generative AI investments for use cases such as modelling attack paths for IT assets.
