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.

You will play a key role in innovating, building and maintaining critical backend features in support of the Kestrel platform.

Bring your experience in distributed technologies, your great API and systems design sensibilities, and your passion for writing code that performs at high scale. Your work will enable hundreds of our UI engineers spread across dozens of feature teams to build the experience customers need to keep pace with and respond to adversaries by leveraging the power of the CrowdStrike platform in the most effective manner for their respective teams. You will be working with multiple backend teams, core service teams, and UI + backend feature teams to bring this new feature to life.
