Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
CrowdStrike’s AI Platform Engineer role sits at a key intersection in modern SaaS: taking internal AI agents from experimentation to dependable, governed systems that support day to day operations. The listing signals an enterprise scale environment where platform choices, identity controls, and observability are not optional add ons, but foundational to shipping AI capabilities safely across a large organization.
For SaaS professionals, the career upside is the breadth of platform work that maps cleanly across the ecosystem. Building cloud based infrastructure for agent workflows, integrating identity layers like Okta, and establishing telemetry for LLM driven systems develops a toolkit that is increasingly reusable across AI enabled SaaS products. The emphasis on vendor evaluation and production readiness also mirrors how many SaaS teams are currently deciding between managed services, emerging frameworks, and custom builds.
This role tends to suit engineers who prefer ambiguous problem spaces and can translate prototypes into operable platforms through cross functional alignment. It is a strong fit for someone motivated by platform engineering with a security mindset, and who enjoys balancing hands on implementation with architectural tradeoffs in an internal product setting.

In this role, you will be the critical bridge between rapid prototyping and scalable infrastructure for our internal agents. You won't be confined to pure development or high-level architecture. Instead, you will operate in a dynamic R&D environment to scale, secure, and implement the custom API-driven AI technologies that power our internal 'run-the-business' agents. You will partner closely with AI developers, InfoSec, Identity, and other cross-functional teams to enablehigh-code agent environments, agentic security, and advanced AI platforms. If you thrive in a
fast-paced environment where you can pivot quickly, evaluate new vendors, and build the infrastructure that powers next-generation AI agents, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do:
Scale AI Infrastructure:Implement and scale critical infrastructure for advanced agents in cloud environments (AWS, GCP), working closely with developers to transition rapid prototypes into robust, scalable solutions
Enable Agentic Security & Identity:Implement advanced AI Gateways and integrate Okta for robust agent identity and security posture
Build & Manage Environments:Create and maintain agile environments dedicated to testing and prototyping new AI vendors, components, models, and integrations, while carving a clear path to production releases
Technology Evaluation:Develop and execute rigorous evaluation criteria for emerging AI technologies, ensuring we adopt the best tools for our high-code agent environments
Cross-Functional R&D:Function as a key technical pivot point in a group focused on rapid prototyping, collaborating seamlessly with Information Security, Identity, and wider IT teams. Partner with enterprise architects to align rapid prototypes with broader architectural standards, helping to validate and offer critical feedback
Agent Observability & Telemetry:Design and implement monitoring solutions to trace complex agent workflows, tracking tool usage, latency, and LLM decision pathways to ensure reliability at scale
Drive Innovation:Continuously monitor the rapidly changing AI landscape, helping the team innovate and adapt our platform architecture to support future AI capabilities
What You'll Need:
Core Tech Stack:Advanced proficiency with Python/Typescript, containerization
(Docker/Kubernetes), REST APIs and identity protocols (OAuth2, OIDC)
Infrastructure & Pipeline Collaboration:Proven ability to build rapid cloud prototypes (AWS/GCP) and partner with core DevOps teams to translate those into scalable Terraform architectures. Familiarity with adapting CI/CD pipelines specifically for agentic innovations, model deployments, and high-code AI workflows
Prototyping Mindset:A track record of thriving in R&D or rapid prototyping environments, with a passion for taking experimental concepts and figuring out how to scale them
Evaluation & Testing:Ability to methodically evaluate new vendor technologies, set
testing criteria, and present actionable findings
Collaborative Communication:Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between AI developers, product managers, and external security/infrastructure teams
Security & Governance:Familiarity with AI-specific threat vectors (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLMs), implementing runtime AI guardrails, and securing non-human/machine identities at scale
