Job description

Overview

CrowdStrike is a global leader in cybersecurity. We protect people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations and stop breaches with our AI-native platform. We work on large-scale distributed systems and process trillions of events daily. We’re a mission-driven company that values autonomy and ownership of careers, and we’re continually seeking talented people who are passionate about innovation and serving customers and communities.

About the Role

CrowdStrike Endpoint Security Platform is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity, recognizes malicious behavior, and provides on-box prevention and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility, correlation and computation to identify malicious activity. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer, correlates malicious behavior across machines, and presents a prioritized threat summary to customers’ operations teams.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Engineer to join the Endpoint Security Platform cloud team. You will help design, build, maintain and run the foundational cloud services that power our platform, using technologies such as Golang, microservices architecture, and diverse database ecosystems to deliver visibility into endpoint security and beyond. You’ll work on a globally distributed, fault-tolerant and scalable cloud ecosystem that integrates events from internal providers and 3rd party integrations.

Don’t worry if you don’t know Golang, we will teach you!

If you are a hands-on engineer who wants to operate at scale, apply and let’s talk!
