About the Role:
CrowdStrike's engineering organization depends on shared infrastructure platforms that power critical product capabilities. These platforms need dedicated engineering ownership to operate reliably, scale safely, harden for security, and mature into self-service capabilities that teams can depend on.
You'll own production infrastructure that spans multiple cloud providers and regions, serving engineering teams across the organization. The work is equal parts platform engineering and operational excellence — building automation, hardening security, establishing governance, and enabling consuming teams to adopt these platforms effectively. You'll also help shape what comes next as the team's scope grows.
We're hiring at all seniority levels — scope and compensation adjust accordingly.
Location -Pune/Bangalore
What You'll Do:
Run production infrastructure - Deploy, upgrade, and maintain platform services across multiple clouds and regions on Kubernetes.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines - Make it safe and fast to ship infrastructure changes using GitOps workflows and release automation.
Build control planes - Create the APIs and tooling that make provisioning and scaling repeatable and self-service.
Own capacity planning - Track usage, forecast growth, right-size clusters, and keep infrastructure costs in check.
Build observability - Set up metrics, dashboards, and alerts using Prometheus and Grafana. Write runbooks that make on-call clear and actionable.
Own on-call and incidents - Join the on-call rotation, resolve issues, write postmortems, and turn repeat problems into automation.
Automate everything - Deployments, upgrades, certificate rotations, failover. If you do it by hand more than once, automate it.
Driving system reliability by blending software engineering principles with AI-driven automation, moving from reactive firefighting to proactive, automated operations.
Harden security - set up auth, encryption, secret rotation, and network policies. Keep dependencies patched and CVEs resolved.
Own disaster recovery - Build backup strategies, test failover, and make sure platforms can survive infrastructure failures.
Enable other teams - Provide templates, patterns, and direct support to help engineering teams use platforms reliably.
Collaborate across teams - Collaborate with Infrastructure, SRE, and Data Services on shared operational problems.
What You'll Need:
8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering.
Hands-on experience running stateful distributed systems on Kubernetes in production.
CI/CD experience - Building and owning pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Tekton, or similar tools.
Infrastructure-as-code skills - Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane, no manual configuration.
GitOps experience - ArgoCD or Flux for managing infrastructure deployments.
Observability skills - Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing tools like Jaeger or OpenTelemetry.
Database operations - Backup, restore, schema management, and performance tuning for relational and NoSQL databases.
Security mindset - You implement auth, encryption, secret management, and network policies as part of normal work.
Multi-cloud or multi-region experience - you have managed infrastructure across providers or regions.
Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Bonus Qualifications:
Experience running security platforms or telemetry pipelines at large scale.
Experience building internal developer platforms and self-service tooling.
Familiarity with service mesh tools like Istio or Linkerd.
Experience running workflow orchestration platforms like Temporal or Argo Workflows.
Experience running distributed tracing or telemetry infrastructure at scale.
Experience with disaster recovery automation for stateful systems.
Background at a cybersecurity or high-availability SaaS company.
