Job description

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.

8. Leverage new open source solutions to build new tools that test things in new ways.
9. Be part of engineering efforts turning rapid prototypes into large-scale core services.

8. A thorough understanding of engineering best practices from appropriate testing paradigms to effective peer code reviews and resilient architecture.
9. The ability to thrive in a fast paced, test-driven, collaborative and iterative programming environment.
