About The Role

CrowdStrike is looking for a Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Charlotte AI Engineering Team. Our new colleague will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang and Large Language Models.

We expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.

About The Product

CrowdStrike has pioneered the use of artificial intelligence (AI) since we first introduced AI‑powered protection to replace signature‑based antivirus over 10 years ago, and we've continued to deeply integrate it across our platform. Using the recent advances in Large Language Models technologies, CrowdStrike introduced Charlotte AI, a new generative AI security analyst. It uses the world's highest‑fidelity security data and is seamlessly integrated with CrowdStrike's industry‑leading threat hunters, managed detection and response operators, and incident response experts. Charlotte AI engine represents a first‑of‑its‑type offering empowering users of all skill levels to leverage the data available in the Falcon Platform while reducing security operations complexity and cost.

• Constantly explore ways to refine product architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance, and reliability.
• Own your work with autonomy, from 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).
• Prior work experience with GenAI, LLMs or Agentic Systems.
