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 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.

We’re building a welcoming & flexible team that prizes collaboration over competition, one which provides opportunities to learn new skills, mentor junior and senior developers and contribute to the direction of both the team & the products for which we’re responsible. This is a high trust environment where we allow team members to manage their own time, take holidays as they need it and reward them with competitive salaries and equity.

The Falcon endpoint agent is able to react in near-real-time to changes in the threat landscape, and underpinning this is the ability of the endpoint agent to quickly query our cloud for new information. This system operates within tight latency and response time constraints at a scale matched by few other environments, and the scale is only growing.

CrowdStrike is seeking a Software Developer in Test for our Cloud Detections Platform team, which is tasked with building CrowdStrike’s next generation detection platform. In this capacity, you will be in charge of developing and operating the team's CI/CD pipeline, making sure our solutions work, and raising the alarm when they suddenly don’t. You’ll be building out an end-to-end validation pipeline, largely from scratch, leveraging existing frameworks and tooling where possible, but able to color outside the lines when necessary. You’ll work in an environment where quality is the company culture. Come use cutting edge tools and technologies as well as tried and true ones.

Work on: verifying key features and functionality that spans our processing, data and customer facing application layers to ensure it’s able to support low-latency prevention of malware, manage tens of thousands of events per second, query across terabytes of data and support the team in delivering quality code, tested to perfection.

• Leverage new open source solutions to build new tools that test things in new ways.

• Improve our delivered product quality across our entire platform and applications.

• Collaborate on determining root causes of production outages and adding quality improvements to prevent outages in the future.

• Crowdstrike is a remote-friendly company, but we do get together from time to time. Some travel will be required for in-person meetings.

• 5+ years of experience as an SDET or Backend Developer (combined)

• 2-3+ years building testing frameworks and tooling for a Cloud SaaS product

• Strong debugging skills: ability to spot design flaws, race conditions and performance bottlenecks in complex architectures.

• A computer science background or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, etc.)

• Experience in building, validating, and/or maintaining large distributed systems at scale.

• Solid design and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security, and performance, coupled with a desire to ship elegant solutions to complex problems.

• Strong cross-group collaboration and interpersonal communication skills working across engineering organizations.

• Experience with Golang, Python, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Redis, Kafka, Elastic Search, Python, and/or similar technologies. You don’t need all of these, but you need at least one.

• Both a sense of humor and a sense of humility.

• Prior experience with building, operating, validating, and scaling low-latency internet services.

• Experience with building and shipping cloud-connected endpoint software.
