CrowdStrike is seeking a Senior Knowledge Engineer to join the Product CTO organization. In this role, you will design a system that treats global infrastructure as a formal graph, tracing every node and edge to a versioned source of truth. You will be instrumental in building a high-integrity infrastructure fabric and a deterministic digital twin of the enterprise.
What You'll Do
- Build the 'Universal Translator' Framework as the primary builder of data ingestion and semantic transformation pipelines.
- Design and implement the core framework and specific connectors to parse API schemas and transform raw data into a canonical model.
- Architect the Knowledge Construction Engine, implementing systems that turn data into knowledge.
- Build code generators that compile high-level mapping configurations into low-level artifacts.
- Develop software for the entity resolution engine.
- Contribute to a multi-backend graph architecture optimized for both real-time temporal state and deep multihop path analysis.
- Work cross-functionally with the Principal Ontologist, Asset Platform, Risk Platform, Ingest, and Design Teams.
- Lead, mentor, and align a diverse team of engineers, taxonomists, and subject matter experts in distilling vendor-specific noise into a unified topography of risk.
- Provide support to the wider CTO organization including the Falcon Fund, Privacy & Cyber Policy, Data Science and Detection Architecture teams, as well as the broader CrowdStrike organization as needed.
- Work with industry analysts to provide product updates, briefings, and demonstrations.
What We're Looking For
- Proven history of architecting large-scale distributed systems where data integrity and performance are paramount.
- Deep expertise in formal logic, relational algebra, and graph theory applied to practical, high-performance systems engineering.
- Deep experience with data transformation, schema parsing, and working with complex, nested data structures from heterogeneous APIs.
- Proficiency in modern systems languages such as Go or Rust.
- Exceptional leadership skills; the ability to move stakeholders from 'intuition-based' thinking to formal attested models.
- Minimum of 5 years relevant work experience.
- Superior communication skills including experience presenting to senior & executive level management.
- Excellent people and project management skills to manage projects and interact/build rapport with staff, colleagues, cross-functional teams and third parties.
Nice to Have
- Experience building declarative, configuration-driven systems or code generators.
- A track record of designing abstractions that allow non-specialists to model complex topological relationships.
- A background in data engineering for cybersecurity or large-scale infrastructure.
- Experience evolving data systems towards a modern, model-driven architecture.
Technical Stack
- Go
- Rust
Team & Environment
You will be part of the Product CTO organization, which includes a team of Technical Strategy leaders.
Benefits & Compensation
- Market leader in compensation and equity awards.
- Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs.
- Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge.
- Paid parental and adoption leaves.
- Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role.
- Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections.
- Vibrant office culture with world class amenities.
