Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike is looking to hire an experienced Engineer to the Data Services team to help us take our database systems to the next level. We’re looking for a highly-technical, hands-on engineer, who loves to work with data plane services like Cassandra, ElasticSearch/Opensearch, Kafka, Redis, Valkey, MySQL, PostgreSQL and is comfortable building automation around large-scale cloud-based critical systems. We’ll be looking at candidate CVs with an eye on achievement -- what you’ve accomplished in the past tells us the most about what you can do for us in the future.

 

What You'll Do:

  • Maintain a deep understanding of the data components - including Cassandra, ElasticSearch/OpenSearch, Kafka, Zookeeper, MySQL and PostgreSQL, and use that understanding to operate and automate properly configured clusters.

  • Operate and manage databases in Kubernetes (K8s) environments, including cluster orchestration, container image management, and workload deployment.

  • Design and implement Kubernetes-native solutions for data services, including StatefulSets, persistent volumes, and resource management for stateful applications.

  • Develop infrastructure services to support the CrowdStrike engineering team's pursuit of a full devops model.

  • Work closely with Engineering and Customer Support to troubleshoot time-sensitive production issues, regardless of when they happen.

  • Keep petabytes of critical business data safe, secure, and available.

What You’ll Need: 

  • Configuration management (Chef)

  • Scripting in Python and bash

  • Experience with large scale datastores using technologies like Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Zookeeper, and MySQL.

  • Hands-on experience operating and managing databases in Kubernetes environments, including container orchestration, StatefulSets, persistent storage, and resource optimization.

  • Proficiency with Kubernetes tools and concepts: kubectl, Helm, YAML manifests, networking, storage classes, and cluster administration.

  • Experience with large-scale, business-critical Linux environments

  • Experience operating within the cloud, preferably Amazon Web Services, GCP and OCI

  • Proven ability to work effectively with both local and remote teams

  • Track record of making great decisions, particularly when it matters most

  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written

  • A combination of confidence and independence with the prudence to know when to ask for help from the rest of the team

  • Bachelor's degree in an applicable field, such as CS, CIS or Engineering
