Principal Engineer Cloud

About the Role:

Our mission is to make all of our customers security-relevant data continuously available for automated detection and response threat hunting and other Falcon use cases. To enable this the systems behind NG-SIEM are growing to accommodate >100 PB of event and action data ingested every day up to 10 years of retention and dozens of millions of queries per hour across large sections of the data stored. As our new NG-SIEM Serverless Platform Principal Cloud Engineer youll be responsible to design and build a platform that can deliver this scale to customers and other Falcon modules as a seamless uniform serverless experience across all their use cases. Over the next years this will require improving evolving and renewing the platforms control plane and data plane systems as well as deep data analysis and refine system automation algorithms to optimally operate and balance costs and SLOs.

This role is targeting candidates located on the east coast of North America or those willing to work fully within that time zone.

What Youll Do:

• Evolve and apply the technical vision for getting to >100 PB/d of event and action log ingestion while enabling greatly multiplied query intensity over this data set.

• Lead by example on customer and product focus as well as on hands-on operational excellence.

• Deliver key parts of our systems directly as an individual contributor or as part of a project-focused engineering team.

• Demonstrate promising approaches to problems or opportunities via proof of concept software and then secure owner buy-in and funding; ensure teams stay on track during delivery.

• Move our product mission forward: partner with your peers to develop the NG-SIEM technical and product strategy and roadmap and own the execution of that roadmap.

• Engage with principal engineers across CrowdStrike to ensure that we are coherent in our technical strategy across Falcon modules and across the CrowdStrike technical landscape.

• Your impact is not bounded and you will be enabled to engage and collaborate with various teams and ensure our products success. You will work cross functionally with your peers in the product engineering organization as well as with field leaders in sales customer success and support.

• We are a remote first company so you must bring your excellent verbal and written communication skills to bear when you are working with teams across the globe. Youll also travel a few times every year to meet with teams and peers.

What Youll Need:

• 12 years of experience designing implementing and maintaining multiple software products/systems/releases preferably in a SaaS delivery model across all phases of the development lifecycle and across multiple software stacks;

• 8 years of experience as an engineer in a force-multiplying position (delivery through others);

• 3 years of hands-on experience as an engineer owning a distributed system that handled tens of billions of requests per day or more than 1 PB of data per day;

• History of significant and continued impact on customer experience and business results;

• Demonstrated track record of operational excellence when operating services that span many components across several geographical regions;

• Experience working with and growing strong engineers within remote teams across geographies and cultures;

• Ability to apply a data science driven approach to large-scale systems engineering;

• Ability to communicate and articulate crisply at all levels from executive staff to individual contributors.

Bonus Points:

• 3 years of hands-on experience as an engineer owning a distributed system that handled over 1 trillion requests per day or more than 10 PB of data per day;

• Solid grounding in the technology of at least one cloud environment (AWS Azure GCP);

• Experience with hybrid cloud environments;

• Exposure to/experience with cybersecurity and intelligence;

• Machine learning and data science familiarity and hands-on experience
