About the Role:
CrowdStrike is seeking an experienced Engineer III for our NG-SIEM Product Group to work on the LogScale platform. As a member of the LogScale Engine team you will focus on the LogScale engine that makes LogScale scale by developing new features as well as improving existing functionality. This is a highly distributed system that ingests 10+ Petabytes of data per day. Our goals are to scale to 100s of PB of data ingress per day, while maintaining best-in-class ingest, search and detection SLAs, as well as best-in-class cost structure. You will be joining a distributed team of highly collaborative engineers who share a strong passion for the product. In this role you will get a chance to work on hard engineering problems that do not have well-defined solutions. You will become one of the go-to experts of the LogScale engine, and will have a broad understanding of the entire LogScale architecture.
Teams in LogScale have a great amount of autonomy, and own a part of the LogScale experience, from ideation and development to deployment and feedback. This includes ensuring high quality of the features they deliver, by writing automated tests, and performing manual tests. Moreover, we do not just throw over features to our operations teams, but we constantly observe and monitor new features in production, with LogScale dashboards of course.
An important part of our work is making sure that LogScale continues to be scalable in terms of efficiently ingesting and digesting events, querying for the right data, while also ensuring the stability of the clusters. Some of the critical elements that the team is working on improving is the query execution engine that makes the LogScale queries be lightning fast. The team is also working with our internal “global” data storage using Kafka and the storage engine that ensures data is stored in the right number of replicas as well as on the correct nodes and in bucket storage such as S3. You will be playing a crucial role in ensuring that LogScale can continue with its successful durability and high availability.
What You’ll Do:
-
Work in a team of friendly, trustworthy and knowledgeable colleagues
-
Work on cross-team platform-level initiatives and projects
-
Participate in scoping, designing and developing of new features and lead delivery of solutions to open-ended problems
-
Contribute to moving the scalability of our LogScale engine to the next level
-
Develop the LogScale backend in Scala and extending our engine to keep LogScale scale with increasing ingest load while ensuring high availability
-
Communicate technical decisions through design documents, technical talks and improving our internal documentation.
-
Provide technical advice on decisions, and research and propose new technologies
-
Collaborate within the team on delivery of new solutions and support team members through code reviews, pairing, documentation, design reviews and technical guidance
-
Monitor and followup on features released to customers on-prem and on cloud
-
Troubleshoot critical production issues on our customer deployments
What You’ll Need:
-
A passion for or personal interest in distributed systems and curiosity of how our running systems are doing
-
Experience in software development in general and the ability to juggle making pragmatic tradeoffs between short-time delivery needs vs long-term product goals
-
Experience in contributing to broad technical leadership in products or services
-
Fluency in both functional and object oriented programming and the ability to pick up new languages on the go
-
A can-do attitude, and that you thrive collaborating in a team and are not afraid of taking on responsibilities
Bonus Points:
-
Experience programming in Scala
-
Experience with commercial clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP)
-
Experience with Kafka
-
Hands on experience in large-scale (distributed) system architecture, high scalability and availability, and optimization
-
Exposure to or experience with Log Management or cybersecurity products
