We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day. We have 3.44 PB of RAM deployed across our fleet of C* servers - and this traffic is growing daily.

As a Senior+ contributor, you'll join this Core Platform Team with bottom-up ownership of our codebase and a far-reaching edict for service resiliency, with several key feature additions and critical re-architecture initiatives underway (improvements to core libraries and platform services, observability tooling (tracing, profiling, alerting, SLOs etc), and automation to reduce manual toil).

 

Recently we introduced adaptive concurrency to our core kafka library which implements flow control to protect database performance and are presently making large-scale automations around how we build new clouds. In terms of overarching goals, we’re building the next-generation infrastructure and security platform for CrowdStrike which include an application and service delivery platform, massively scalable distributed data storage and replication systems, and a cutting-edge search and distributed graph system.

If you’re a math-brained or algorithmic thinker who loves optimization at its core, then we’ve got the role to put your strengths to work! Throwing you headfirst into our core codebase to push the capabilities of our platform and drive optimizations for the entire product’s architecture.

  • Mentor other developers on web, backend and data storage technologies and our system.

  • Update OSS dependencies as needed

About The Company

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware. There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
