About the Role:

Falcon Vulnerability Assessment is the industry's first scan-less endpoint vulnerability assessment solution, delivering real-time, zero-impact assessments of endpoint security posture. Falcon Vulnerabiity Assessment adds preparation and readiness to the unparalleled prevention, detection and response provided by the Falcon platform, resulting in a stronger security posture and unprecedented breach protection.

As part of Crowd Strike's cutting-edge Falcon Exposure Management pillar, you'll be at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, elevating our industry-leading "stopping breaches" mission to unprecedented levels of sophistication and visibility. You'll architect and build the foundational risk intelligence platform that powers next-generation security insights, leveraging advanced algorithms, AI, and machine learning to deliver comprehensive visibility into risk compounding, attack path analysis, and posture scoring across hybrid environments—spanning hosts, cloud infrastructure, and identity assets.

The core focus of this specific role is developing robust backend services that seamlessly ingest massive data streams, execute complex risk calculations, and deliver intelligent remediation automation. Working primarily with Golang microservices architecture and multiple database ecosystems, you'll build scalable solutions that protect organizations worldwide from evolving cyber threats.

As a technical leader, you'll drive end-to-end product delivery, architect scalable solutions, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to define priorities and scope. Your expertise will directly influence the cybersecurity landscape, protecting organizations from sophisticated threats while advancing the state of the art in exposure management...This role also requires reasoning and judgment over large volumes of continuously changing data, at the scale Crowd Strike operates — work that conventional rule-based systems have only partially addressed.

We're treating agentic reasoning as a core architectural element rather than a feature layered onto an existing system, which means real decisions are still open: where reasoning belongs, where determinism is the better answer, and how to make either hold up in production.

This role is hybrid and attached to our Sunnyvale, CA office, requiring 2-3 days in office. What You'll Do:

Design and build high-throughput, low-latency backend services and APIs in Golang and…
