Full Job Description

About the Role:

Join our Falcon Exposure Management team as one of the first engineers on a new, greenfield initiative. You'll help design and build a product from the ground up, shaping its architecture and its direction.

This is a problem where AI changes what's achievable. It requires reasoning and judgment over large volumes of continuously changing data, at the scale CrowdStrike operates — work that conventional rule-based systems have only partially addressed. We're treating agentic reasoning as a core architectural element rather than a feature layered onto an existing system, which means real decisions are still open: where reasoning belongs, where determinism is the better answer, and how to make either hold up in production.

A security background isn't required. What matters is strong systems engineering, experience running AI-based systems in production, and the curiosity to get up to speed in a new domain quickly.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and build a new product from the ground up, making foundational architecture and technology decisions

  • Build the distributed systems foundation: high throughput, large-scale data processing, and the reliability our customers expect

  • Build agentic capabilities into the product — systems that reason over real data, use tools, and produce explainable results customers can act on

  • Take AI capabilities from prototype to production, owning latency, cost, correctness, and evaluation

  • Design the guardrails and policies that make autonomous reasoning safe for enterprise customers

  • Turn open-ended problems into scoped, shippable increments

  • Set the technical bar early on quality, testing, and observability, and help grow the engineers around you

What You'll Need:

  • 5+ years of production experience building and maintaining systems at scale

  • Strong proficiency in Go, Python, or Java, with solid distributed systems experience — concurrency, partitioning, backpressure, and failure handling under load

  • Experience shipping LLM-backed systems to production, including ownership of reliability, cost, and correctness

  • Practical experience with agentic loops — designing or operating agents that invoke tools and act on real data, and choosing sensibly among planning, reflection, and multi-step patterns

  • A working approach to non-determinism: structured outputs, schema validation, retries, self-checks, and graceful fallbacks

  • Strong engineering judgment — the ability to break down an unfamiliar problem, reason about tradeoffs, and choose the simplest approach that works

  • Hands-on use of frontier-model SDKs (Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar) and AI-assisted development tools, with a realistic view of their capabilities and limits.

  • Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with evaluation and observability tooling for agentic systems

  • Experience with RAG pipelines, vector stores, or retrieval-augmented agents

  • Experience with graph databases and complex data modeling

  • Experience in cybersecurity — welcome, though not required
