About the Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking a Senior Engineer for the NG-SIEM (next-generation security information and event management) Serverless Cell Platform team. The Serverless Cell Platform team is responsible for building and operating the fleets of LogScale deployments. 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.

You will play a crucial role in ensuring that LogScale can continue with its successful durability and high availability.

What You'll Do:

• Monitor and maintain the health, performance, and reliability of our hyperscale cell infrastructure processing trillions of events daily.

• Lead incident response and problem management through established on-call rotations and structured feedback loops.

• Implement comprehensive monitoring with Service Level Indicators to enable proactive alerting and automated self-healing.

• Conduct capacity planning and forecasting based on ingest rates and query patterns to optimize resource utilization.

• Ensure data integrity and compliance across >100 PB of stored data through automated consistency checks and recovery testing.

• Manage access controls, certificate rotation, and vulnerability management across cell infrastructure according to defined SLAs.

• Provision and scale cell infrastructure (vertical/horizontal) based on demand and performance requirements.

• Develop microservices and automation tools for cell components, including ingest writers and management systems.

• Orchestrate version upgrades, patch management, and configuration changes with minimal customer impact.

• Perform load testing and performance benchmarking to validate scaling thresholds and optimize costs.

• Coordinate with fleet operations, product teams, and infrastructure teams on global changes and capacity planning.

• Create technical documentation, operational playbooks, and partner with teams to address customer-impacting issues.

• Work in a team of friendly, trustworthy, and knowledgeable colleagues.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for testing and releasing configuration and software.

• Troubleshoot complex issues across multiple large-scale distributed systems, including LogScale, Kafka, object storage systems, and related infrastructure.

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

• Apply SRE best practices, including SLOs, error budgets, chaos engineering, and blameless post-mortems.

• Effectively utilize AI coding assistants (e.g., Anthropic Claude) to accelerate development and problem-solving.

​

What You'll Need:

• Proven experience designing and implementing distributed systems with high scalability, availability, and performance optimization at enterprise scale.

• Experience in contributing to broad technical leadership in products or services.

• A can-do attitude; you thrive collaborating in a team and are not afraid of taking on responsibilities.

• Several years' experience with large-scale, business-critical Linux-based environments.

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

• Experience working with CI/CD, Jenkins Git, Artifactory, Bitbucket.

• Go (golang) programming experience in production environments

• Some familiarity with Python programming  

• Experience with configuration management systems such as Chef or Ansible.

• Availability for on-call on a rotational basis.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Kafka.

• Bachelor's degree in an applicable field, such as Computer Science or Engineering.
