Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role We're looking for a Senior UI Platform Engineer to lead the design and build of the shared developer tooling foundation for our next-generation front end. It's a strategic role for someone who wants to shape how hundreds of UI engineers scaffold, build, integrate and ship their code across the organisation. UI Platform owns the paved road for UI engineering at CrowdStrike. As Product Groups migrate onto the new UI, we're consolidating developer tooling, build infrastructure, dependency management and CI into a single internal platform that teams pick up themselves. This role is central to that mission and you'll build the module federation foundations, build pipelines, scaffolding and automation that every UI team relies on to stay productive at scale. What you'll do Own the module federation architecture that lets dozens of Product Groups ship independent microfrontends into a single UI shell, keeping contracts stable, versions honest and cross-team breakage rare. Lead the shared Vite build and dev-server tooling that every UI engineer runs locally and in CI, keeping hot reload fast, sub-package watch reliable and cold starts honest. Design and run the CI pipelines that build, verify and publish every UI package across GitLab CI and Jenkins, keeping them fast, cacheable and giving engineers a clear signal when something breaks. Ship the single CLI that is the front door to the platform to scaffold a repo, wire it into module federation, run its tests, cut a release with one command for everything a UI engineer does locally and in CI. Wire automated dependency management (Renovate), security scanning and AI-assisted upgrades into the paved road so version bumps, vulnerability response and monorepo hygiene don't fall on individual teams. Shift left: move linting, type checks, build validation and contract checks into the developer's editor and pre-push hooks so engineers catch issues in seconds, not in a failed pipeline twenty minutes later. Work with UI Quality, UI Release and Observability so the platform feels like one thing through a single CLI. Pair with Product Group leads to migrate legacy build and tooling patterns onto the paved road and get the tooling strategy adopted across the organisation. Mentor engineers on build tooling, module federation and monorepo patterns, and give thoughtful code review across the platform and its consumers. Build the ephemeral environments and preview deployments per MR so engineers get fast, honest feedback on their changes before they merge. What you'll need You've built shared frameworks, tooling or platforms that other engineers rely on day to day. You know Vite and modern front-end build tooling well, and y
