Sr. Software Engineer

CrowdStrike is looking for a Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Charlotte AI Engineering Team. Our new colleague will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang and Large Language Models. Prior experience with Golang and LLMs is not required, but will be helpful.

CrowdStrike is a computer security company, but we do not require candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.

About the Product:

CrowdStrike has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence (AI) since we first introduced AI-powered protection to replace signature-based antivirus over 10 years ago, and we’ve continued to deeply integrate it across our platform since.

Using the recent advances in Large Language Models technologies, CrowdStrike introduced Charlotte AI, a new generative AI security analyst. It uses the world’s highest-fidelity security data and it is seamlessly integrated with CrowdStrike’s industry-leading threat hunters, managed detection and response operators, and incident response experts. Charlotte AI engine represents a first of its type offering empowering users of all skill levels to leverage the data available in the Falcon Platform,while reducing security operations complexity and cost.
