As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day. We have 3.44 PB of RAM deployed across our fleet of C* servers - and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers.

• The ability to troubleshoot and pinpoint system failures across a pipeline of services.

• The desire to ship code and the love of seeing your bits run in production.

What You'll Bring:

• Team player skills – we embrace collaborating as a team as much as possible

• A thorough understanding of engineering best practices from appropriate testing paradigms to effective peer code reviews and resilient architecture.

• The ability to thrive in a fast paced, test-driven, collaborative and iterative programming environment.

• The skills to meet your commitments on time and produce high quality software that is unit tested, code reviewed, and checked in regularly for continuous integration.

• Ability to brainstorm, define, and build collaboratively with members across multiple teams.

• Experience with shipping high quality software in a cloud environments

• Solid grounding in the technology of at least one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP)

• Solid design and problem solving skills with demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security and performance

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.

There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
