CrowdStrike is a global cybersecurity leader with an advanced cloud-native platform for protecting endpoints, cloud workloads, identities and data. Backed by Accel, ICONIQ and IVP.
About the role
CrowdStrike's Data Platform is the foundation beneath Falcon and Next-Gen SIEM: the ingestion, streaming, storage, and query systems that take in almost 3 trillion events per day, at millions of events per second, and make them searchable in seconds. It spans multiple clouds and regions, including sovereign and regulated environments, and it holds petabytes of security telemetry that customers rely on in the middle of active investigations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 12+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years leading engineering teams and at least 2 years leading through other managers
- A track record of building, growing, and retaining high-performing platform, SRE, or infrastructure teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, including hiring senior engineers onto a team that did not exist yet
- Hands-on grounding in SRE practice at scale: SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, incident command, blameless postmortems, and capacity planning for high-throughput distributed systems
- Experience owning reliability for large-scale stateful distributed systems, where ordering, data state, and recovery semantics rule out generic automation. This is the hardest technical part of the job
- Working fluency with distributed data infrastructure: streaming platforms, OLAP and search engines, object storage, and large-scale query systems. Enough to hold a credible design conversation and to recognize a bad proposal
- Ownership of a substantial infrastructure cost portfolio, including driving optimization across organizational boundaries and shifting cost accountability to the teams that control the spend
