About the Role:

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.

What You'll Do:

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

What You'll Need:

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

Why CrowdStrike?

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.
