About the Role:

At CrowdStrike, our engineering organization depends on shared infrastructure platforms that power critical product capabilities at global scale. These platforms require dedicated engineering ownership to operate reliably, scale safely, harden for security, and mature into self-service capabilities that teams across the organization can depend on.

As an SRE & DevOps Engineer, you will own production infrastructure spanning multiple cloud providers and regions, serving engineering teams across CrowdStrike. The work is equal parts reliability engineering and DevOps engineering - building automation, hardening security, establishing governance, and enabling consuming teams to adopt these platforms effectively.

You will work across a rich technology landscape including Kubernetes, Kafka, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Apache Pinot, OpenSearch, and Apache Spark — operating and scaling microservices-based distributed systems that process millions of security events per second with zero tolerance for data loss or downtime.

What You'll Do:

Run production infrastructure - Deploy, upgrade, and maintain platform services across multiple clouds and regions on Kubernetes, including microservices-based distributed systems

Own delivery pipelines - Build and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Bitbucket Pipelines with GitOps workflows via ArgoCD or Flux

Own capacity plannin g - Track usage, forecast growth, right-size clusters, and optimize infrastructure costs across multi-cloud environments
