About the Role
We're building the next generation of cloud security at CrowdStrike, revolutionizing threat detection with a cutting-edge detection system that processes billions of events across multi-cloud environments. You'll implement innovative technologies like custom query languages, event orchestration systems, and advanced correlation engines to detect sophisticated cloud-based threats. Collaborate with security researchers to transform their expertise into scalable detection capabilities. Our team operates at the intersection of distributed systems, data engineering, and security analytics, building a composable and modular architecture. Join us in building the technology that stops breaches before they happen.
