Crowd Strike's Cloud Platform Engineering organization is seeking a Sr. Staff Enterprise Architect to help shape the foundation on which our global security platform is built. This role sits at the intersection of architecture governance, infrastructure strategy, and engineering enablement — responsible for defining reusable patterns, paved paths, and standards that scale across a high-growth, mission-critical environment. You will partner closely with engineering, security, compliance, and product leadership to ensure our cloud infrastructure is scalable, secure, cost-efficient, and operationally sound.

This is a remote position open to candidates located anywhere in the United States.

• Lead enterprise architecture design and review across infrastructure, platform engineering, security, and integration initiatives — with emphasis on pragmatic execution, governance, and long-term operability.
• Build, mature, and operate architecture review processes including intake workflows, domain impact assessment, design consultation, and automated governance mechanisms.
• Define and drive adoption of reusable infrastructure-as-code blueprints and patterns (Terraform modules, networking standards, multi-account structures) to reduce pattern sprawl and promote engineering efficiency.
• Design and manage on-prem and multi-region cloud networking architectures including Transit Gateway, centralized inspection VPC models, multi-account VPC patterns, and hybrid connectivity.
• Lead cloud migration and data center exit programs — authoring cutover strategies, owning infrastructure delivery, and coordinating with compliance and security stakeholders.
• Build and deliver enablement programs for engineering teams transitioning to cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code-driven operating models (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, SDLC best practices).
