About the Role:

CrowdStrike is looking for a Principal Data Engineer with deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI platforms to join our growing Data Science Platform Engineering Team. You will be a key leader, responsible for designing, building, and deploying cutting-edge data infrastructure that powers our next generation of AI-driven security products. This role requires significant hands-on experience in LLM integration, agentic workflows, and agent harnessing to deliver high-impact, scalable solutions. You will champion engineering excellence, focusing on shipping fast, writing elegant, high-quality code, and actively mentoring and strengthening the team's technical knowledge and capabilities.

The scale of our systems and data are approaching Exabytes in size. Experience with extremely large-scale systems, including DevSecOps patterns, practices, and standards are important for this work.

What You'll Do:

• Architect, implement, and optimize data platforms and pipelines specifically designed to support LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and sophisticated AI agentic systems at Exabyte scale.

• Drive the adoption and deployment of agentic workflows and agent harnessing techniques to create autonomous, data-driven security features.

• Design and implement highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and cost-effective data solutions, emphasizing rapid iteration and high-quality deployment.

• Write elegant, production-ready code with a focus on performance, maintainability, and testing rigor, ensuring the ability to ship fast without compromising quality.

• Provide technical leadership and deep expertise in data modeling, normalization, and semantic cataloging for AI/ML workloads.

• Establish best practices for MLOps/DataOps surrounding LLMs, including monitoring, observability, and zero-touch recovery mechanisms for AI services.

• Actively mentor engineers, conducting technical workshops, leading design reviews, and strengthening the team's knowledge in cutting-edge AI platform technologies.

• Collaborate across the organization with Data Scientists, Product Managers, and other engineering teams to transform research prototypes into robust, production-grade services.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of critical data services: development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  

Tech Stack (Expertise in several key areas is expected):

• MLOps Tools (MLflow, Sagemaker, Vertex AI)

• Experience with common agentic workflow frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex).

• Expert-level proficiency in a high-level coding language (Python, or JVM technologies).

• Deep experience with distributed data processing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Dask, Flink).

• Strong expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or OCI) and related data services.

• Containerization and orchestration mastery (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Message queuing and streaming technologies (Kafka, Pulsar).

• Data Warehousing (Snowflake, BigQuery) and Data Orchestration (Airflow, Kubeflow).
  

What You'll Need:

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related STEM field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 10+ years of progressive experience in Data Engineering/Platform Engineering, with at least 3 years focused on architecting and building platforms for AI/ML or Data Science at massive scale.

• Demonstrable hands-on experience in LLM engineering (fine-tuning, prompt engineering, deployment), RAG, and developing agentic workflows.

• Proven track record of designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems (sharding, partitioning, concurrency).

• Exceptional ability to write clean, elegant, performant, and well-tested code, coupled with a proactive mindset for delivering results quickly.

• A thorough understanding of engineering practices, including effective peer code reviews, resilient architecture design, and comprehensive testing paradigms.

• Prior experience in a Principal or Staff level engineering role, demonstrating technical leadership and mentorship capabilities.

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

Bonus Points:

• Direct experience building, deploying, and managing LLMs in a production environment.

• Prior experience in the cybersecurity, intelligence, or high-compliance industries.

• Contributions to open-source projects related to data or AI/ML.
