Falcon Complete is CrowdStrike's premier managed detection and response service, providing 24/7 threat hunting, monitoring, and response capabilities. Our automation platform leverages cutting-edge AI technologies, scalable microservices, and intelligent workflow orchestration to enhance our security analysts' capabilities and streamline incident response at enterprise scale.

Building on CrowdStrike's pioneering use of artificial intelligence, our automation infrastructure integrates LLM technologies, AI context engineering, and agentic automation frameworks—all deployed as resilient, horizontally-scalable services in our cloud infrastructure.

  • Emphasize top-tier coding quality by adhering to best practices, rigorous testing, and thorough logging and metrics.

  • Work within a collaborative and agile team environment.

  • Contribute to mentoring fellow engineers across a spectrum of technologies and also absorb knowledge from them.

  • Constantly explore ways to refine product architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance, and reliability.

  • Own your work with autonomy, end to end: develop, test, deploy and monitor your changes.

  • Thrive in an environment that highly values trust.

What You'll Need:

  • Degree in Computer Science (or professional experience in data structures/algorithms/distributed systems).

  • Experience with Language Models, Data Science, Data Engineering.

  • Prior work experience with big data and microservices.

  • Understanding of scalability and distributed systems i.e. sharding, partitioning, concurrency, etc.

  • Hands-on AWS experience (VPC, IAM, load balancers, Lambda, and related services).

  • Strong understanding of databases (relational and NoSQL) and message queue systems.

  • Engineering best practices including testing, code reviews, observability, and resilient architecture.

  • The ability to thrive in a test-driven, collaborative, and iterative programming environment.
