Sr. MLOps Engineer - Falcon Cloud Security

CrowdStrike's Data Science Studio is seeking a pioneering Senior MLOps Engineer to establish and lead our MLOps function from the ground up. As the first MLOps engineer in the studio, you will play a foundational role in shaping how we build, deploy, and scale machine learning systems that protect thousands of organizations worldwide. 

This is a unique opportunity to define the technical strategy, influence the technology stack, and architect the infrastructure that will power our AI/ML-driven security solutions for years to come.

This role combines strategic vision with hands-on execution. You'll work at the intersection of data science, engineering, and production operations - building production-grade systems that operate at immense scale while collaborating closely with highly technical data scientists and ML engineering teams across CrowdStrike.

• Architect MLOps infrastructure from the ground up: Design and implement the foundational MLOps platform, establishing best practices, tooling, and workflows that will scale with our growing data science initiatives

• Define technology strategy: Evaluate, select, and integrate MLOps technologies and platforms that best serve our needs - from experiment tracking and model versioning to deployment pipelines and monitoring systems

• Build production-grade ML pipelines: Develop robust, scalable pipelines for model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring that handle massive data volumes and ensure reliability in production

• Enable data scientist productivity: Create tools, frameworks, and automation that empower data scientists to move quickly from research to production while maintaining high quality and reliability standards

• Establish monitoring and observability: Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure ML models perform optimally in production and issues are detected proactively

• Drive MLOps culture and practices: Champion best practices in ML engineering, CI/CD for ML, model governance, and reproducibility across the data science organization

• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner closely with data scientists to understand their workflows and pain points, and work with ML engineering teams to ensure seamless integration with broader platform capabilities

• Scale for the future: Design systems with scalability, security, and maintainability in mind, anticipating the needs of a rapidly growing ML portfolio

• 6+ years of experience in MLOps, ML engineering, DevOps, or related infrastructure roles with focus on machine learning systems

• Production ML systems expertise: Proven track record of building and operating ML systems at scale in production environments

• Strong infrastructure and automation skills: Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

• ML pipeline proficiency: Hands-on experience with ML workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Kubeflow, MLflow, Metaflow) and building end-to-end ML pipelines

• Programming excellence: Strong coding skills in Python; experience with additional languages is a plus

• CI/CD and DevOps practices: Expertise in building automated deployment pipelines, version control, and modern DevOps methodologies

• Strategic and hands-on balance: Ability to think architecturally about long-term solutions while rolling up your sleeves to implement them

• Collaborative mindset: Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with data scientists, engineers, and stakeholders with varying technical backgrounds

• Startup mentality: Comfort with ambiguity and ability to build from scratch in a fast-paced environment

Join at the ground floor of our MLOps journey and leave your mark on how we build AI/ML systems at scale. You'll have the autonomy to make critical technical decisions, work with exceptional talent, and build infrastructure that directly impacts the security of thousands of organizations worldwide. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of ML operations in a leading cybersecurity company.
