- Design, build, and deploy scalable microservices and automation platforms to CrowdStrike's Kubernetes infrastructure.
- Architect cloud-native services on AWS with proper networking, IAM, load balancing, and auto-scaling configurations.
- Develop production-grade applications using Go, Python, Java/Groovy, and/or JavaScript with emphasis on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
- Build AI-powered automation services leveraging LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI context engineering techniques.
- Design and implement agentic automation frameworks that reduce repetitive analyst tasks and scale operations.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Spinnaker, and GitOps workflows for automated deployment.
- Build integrations with databases (PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Redis), message queues (Kafka), and external APIs.
- Develop custom scripts using Adaptavist ScriptRunner and Java/Groovy/Python to automate security workflows within Jira.
- Implement observability solutions including metrics, logging, alerting, and distributed tracing.
- Collaborate with SOC analysts and engineering teams to identify high-value automation opportunities.
- Own your work end to end: architect, develop, deploy, monitor, and scale complex automation systems.
What You'll Need
- 7-10 years of experience in software engineering with focus on building and deploying scalable services.
- Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) for building high-performance microservices.
- Experience with Python for automation, scripting, and AI/ML integrations.
- Familiarity with Java/Groovy and/or JavaScript/TypeScript for enterprise integrations.
- Production Kubernetes experience (deployments, Helm, ingress, horizontal pod autoscaling).
- Hands-on AWS experience (VPC, IAM, load balancers, Lambda, and related services).
- Experience with Docker containerization and container image lifecycle management.
- Strong understanding of databases (relational and NoSQL) and message queue systems.
- Experience with Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code practices.
- Proficiency with Adaptavist ScriptRunner for Jira and advanced Jira workflow customization.
- Experience building and deploying services that handle production traffic at scale.
- Engineering best practices including testing, code reviews, observability, and resilient architecture.
- Understanding of incident detection, triage, and response workflows in MDR/SOC environments.
