Sr. Engineer - Data & ML Platform

About the role

CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, protects organizations with its AI-native platform that processes nearly 3 trillion events daily. The Data & ML Platform team builds the foundation for data exploration, model development, and ML experimentation across a 200 PB Data Lakehouse. As a Senior Engineer, you will design and scale a modern Data+ML platform, modularize ML code, and establish repeatable patterns for model development, deployment, and monitoring. You will build self‑service pipelines, leverage workflow orchestration, review data scientist code, and use cloud services such as Kubernetes, blob storage, and queues in a cloud‑first environment. The role requires deep expertise in distributed computing, ML platform tools, data platform products, and production ML deployment. You will collaborate with Data Platform engineers, Data Scientists, and Threat Analysts to deliver scalable solutions that influence critical business decisions. The position is hybrid in Bangalore, requiring office presence twice a week, and offers competitive compensation, equity, wellness programs, and professional development opportunities.

What you’ll do

• Help design, build, and facilitate adoption of a modern Data+ML platform
• Modularize complex ML code into standardized and repeatable components
• Establish and facilitate adoption of repeatable patterns for model development, deployment, and monitoring
• Build a platform that scales to thousands of users and offers self-service capability to build ML experimentation pipelines
• Leverage workflow orchestration tools to deploy efficient and scalable execution of complex data and ML pipelines
• Review code changes from data scientists and champion software development best practices
• Leverage cloud services like Kubernetes, blob storage, and queues in our cloud first environment

What you’ll bring
