As a global leader in cybersecurity, Crowd Strike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. 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. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily.
*
* About The Role:

** Crowd Strike's Falcon sensor runs on millions of endpoints globally, protecting more than half of the Fortune 500 companies. It's a high-performance, lightweight agent that detects and prevents sophisticated threats in real-time. It's one of the most widely deployed security platforms in the world, running across every major OS and architecture.

We're looking for a Platform Engineer to build the development infrastructure that powers this massive-scale, cross-platform system. You'll architect the build systems, deployment pipelines, and developer tools that enable our sensor teams to ship production code faster and more reliably. Think of this as building the platform that builds the platform – solving complex distributed build challenges, creating hermetic cross-compilation systems, and designing developer experiences that eliminate friction at scale.
** What You'll Do:
*** Build production-grade platform systems that power cross-platform sensor development across Windows, Linux, and macOS
* Architect build and release infrastructure that handles complex cross-compilation, dependency management, and hermetic builds at scale
* Design developer-facing APIs and tools that abstract away platform complexity and accelerate feature velocity
* Engineer CI/CD systems that provide fast feedback loops and enable confident, frequent deployments
* Drive platform evolution by identifying bottlenecks, prototyping solutions, and shipping improvements that measurably improve developer productivity
* Collaborate with sensor teams to understand their workflows and build leverage points that multiply their effectiveness
** What You'll Need:
*** 5+ years building production systems with focus on platform engineering, developer tools, or systems programming
* Deep Python expertise – you write idiomatic, performant Python and understand its internals
* Cross-platform development experience – you've dealt with the reality of Windows/Linux/macOS differences
* Systems thinking – you understand build systems, compilers, linkers, and how software actually gets built
* Collaboration skills – you can work with distributed teams and translate needs into technical solutions
* Experience with GenAI-assisted development workflows or building AI-powered developer tools
*
* Bonus Points:

*** C/C++ experience for low-level system integration
* Build system expertise (Bazel, CMake, or custom build infrastructure)
* CI/CD platform architecture (Jenkins, Git Hub Actions, or similar at scale)
* Track record of measurably improving developer productivity (e.g., "reduced build times by 60%," "eliminated 80% of cross-platform bugs pre-merge")
* Experience with Rust#LI - CW1#HTF
** Benefits of Working at Crowd Strike:
*** Market leader in compensation and equity awards
* Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
* Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
* Paid parental and adoption leaves
* Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
* Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
* Vibrant office culture with world class amenities
* Great Place to Work Certified across the globe
