About the Team:

The SDMF Core team is responsible for CrowdStrike's principal data model, metadata catalog, query language specification, and query compiler used by the associated query services. The catalog scope runs the gamut from internal sources and users, to trusted third parties, and open industry standards.

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

• Collaborate with colleagues who focus on query compilers and data pipelines

• Own features from design to delivery, including sustained care after release

• Serve as the data modeling expert for the team

• Collaborate with other teams on cross functional design

• Understand and evolve the larger system architecture and its impact on development and design

What You’ll Need:

• Experience building data model driven declarative systems

• Expertise with service-based architectures and distributed databases

• Experience with developing cloud-based or similar highly concurrent, distributed systems

• Familiarity with both relational databases and schema-less “NoSQL” or key-value stores

• Proficient in transforming structured and unstructured data

• Experience writing production quality code in one of Rust, Python, Go, or C++

• Familiarity with basic compiler techniques: parsing, AST transformations, simple type checking, etc.

• Comfortable with testing as a first-class activity: unit testing, integration / end-to-end testing, and associated automations

• Deliver and accept feedback with grace and courtesy

• Comfortable working in a distributed environment across multiple time zones

Bonus Points:

• Experience developing code within a well-defined information architecture

• Code optimization and performance assessment/profiling/testing

• Experience with cloud databases such as Cassandra, Snowflake and Redshift, and data analytics frameworks such as Apache Spark

• Experience developing design tools, tests, and/or test automation

• Experience with testing frameworks; Jenkins or Bamboo, or similar in a CI/CD environment

• Experience in a functional programming paradigm, such as Erlang, Haskell, Scala, or OCaml

• Experience developing software for high-assurance, safety critical, or life critical domains

• Familiarity with generative or formal software verification methods, such as Alloy, TLA+, or Agda
