About the Role:
We are looking for a colleague to help develop and maintain our specialized semantic data modeling framework (SDMF), which serves as the backbone of several cloud services, libraries, and databases at CrowdStrike.

The SDMF Core team is responsible for CrowdStrike's principal data model, metadata catalog, and query language specification used by the associated query services. The catalog covers a wide spectrum of sources, ranging from internal services to trusted third-party partners and open industry standards.

Our mission is to enable data interoperability among all consumers, producers, and inquirers.

What You'll Do:

• Design and develop performant Cloud developer tools for data modeling, transformation, and code generation.
• Collaborate with colleagues who focus on semantic modeling, language/compiler design, and developer toolchains.
• Own features from design to delivery, including sustained care after release.
• Collaborate with other teams on cross-functional design of developer-facing APIs and tools.
• Understand and evolve the larger system architecture and its impact on development workflows and tooling.
• Be mentored and mentor other developers on backend and data storage technologies.
• Constantly re-evaluate our product to improve architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance and stability.
• Be an energetic “self-starter” with the ability to take ownership and be accountable for deliverables.

You will Use:

• Go

• Python

• SQL DBs

• Kafka

• OpenSearch

• Experience with developing cloud-based or similar highly concurrent, distributed systems.
• Strong background in Computer Science: algorithms, graphs, computation theory (recursion, automatas, regular expressions, etc).
• Experience writing production quality code in Go and Python, but also willingness to learn other languages as needed – polyglot engineers most welcome.
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
• Comfortable with testing as a first-class activity: unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, fuzzy/property-based testing, etc.
• Deliver and accept feedback with grace and courtesy.
• Strong sense of ownership accompanied by low ego.
• Proactivity.
• Comfortable working in a distributed environment across multiple time zones.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Graph Databases, Semantics and Ontologies.
• Experience with developing code within a well-defined information architecture.
• Code optimization and performance assessment/profiling/testing.
• Experience developing CLI tools, tests, and test automation.
• Extensive experience with testing frameworks, orchestration systems and their integration into Jenkins, Gitlab CI, or similar CI/CD environment.
