Sr. Knowledge Engineer (Remote, ISR)

About the Role:

As the Senior Knowledge Engineer, you will be the designer of a system that treats global infrastructure as a formal graph, where every node and edge is traced back to a versioned source of truth. This role is a part of the Product CTO organisation that includes a team of Technical Strategy leaders that bring outstanding ideas, the ability to execute cross functionally, and teamwork to a strategic, high future impact organisation.

The Vision:

The security industry is drowning in “observed symptoms” while starving for attestable truth. At CrowdStrike, we are building a high integrity infrastructure fabric – a platform that doesn’t just scan for risks, but proves them through a deterministic digital twin of the enterprise.

The Challenge You’ll Solve: How do you build a robust extensible framework that can connect to hundreds of different APIs, from mainstream cloud providers to niche security tools? How do you write the code that can parse and normalise their widely different schemas and data formats, and then efficiently map them into a canonical graph model? This is your build.

What You'll Do:

• Build our ‘Universal Translator’ Framework: You will be the primary builder of our data ingestion and semantic transformation pipelines. You will design and implement the core framework and specific connectors to parse API schemas and transform raw data into our canonical model.

• Architect the Knowledge Construction Engine: You will implement the systems that turn data into knowledge. This includes building the code generators that compile our team's high level mapping configurations into low level artifacts, and developing the software for our entity resolution engine to fuse disparate data into unified conceptual entities.

• Data Quality & Validation Strategy: You will contribute to a multi-backend graph architecture optimized for both real time temporal state and deep multihop path analysis.

• Work Crossfunctionally: Work closely with the Principal Ontologist, Asset Platform, Risk Platform, Ingest, and Design Teams.

• Lead, Mentor, and Align: Guide a diverse team of engineers, taxonomists, and subject matter experts in distilling vendor specific noise into a unified topography of risk.

• Provide support to the wider CTO organization including the Falcon Fund, Privacy & Cyber Policy, Data Science and Detection Architecture teams, as well as the broader CrowdStrike organization as needed.

• Work with industry analysts to provide product updates, briefings, and demonstrations.

What You'll Need:

• A proven history of architecting large scale distributed systems where data integrity and performance are paramount.

• Deep expertise in formal logic, relational algebra, and graph theory applied to practical, high performance systems engineering.

• Deep experience with data transformation, schema parsing, and working with complex, nested data structures form heterogeneous APIs.

• Proficiency in modern systems languages (e.g. Go, Rust)

• Exceptional leadership skills; the ability to move stakeholders from “intuition-based” thinking to formal attested models.

• Minimum of 5 years relevant work experience

• Superior communication skills including experience presenting to senior & executive level management

• Excellent people and project management skills to manage projects and interact/build rapport with staff, colleagues, cross-functional teams and third parties

What will make you stand out:

• Experience building declarative, configuration driven systems or code generators.

• A track record of designing abstractions that allow non specialists to model complex topological relationships.

• A background in data engineering for cybersecurity or large scale infrastructure.

• Experience evolving data systems towards a modern, model driven architecture.
