Job description

CrowdStrike, Inc.

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 and this traffic is growing daily.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike's Exposure Management is a key product area for CrowdStrike. We're extending CrowdStrike's mission of stopping breaches into the next level of sophistication and visibility by ingesting massive amounts of data and applying various techniques and algorithms (including Machine Learning) to provide visibility that was not seen before and also enable automation to a new level in the industry. In this role you will use the latest technologies for building backend services that will ingest data, perform calculations and provide remediation tooling and automation.

What You'll Do:

We're a highly collaborative and friendly group that prizes collaboration over competition. We provide opportunities to learn new skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we're responsible. We work in a distributed, remote-first, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life.

Responsibilities Include:

• Development of back-end services hosting both private and public-facing web services.
• Development of public-facing command-line shell utilities, some which interact with your web services.
• Design of supporting infrastructure (databases, real-time data streams, etc.)
• Integration support and documentation for complimentary teams (ie. UX/UI, Sensors, etc.)
• Participation in configuring and receiving uptime alerts related to the services you control.
• Reflect thoughtfully to improve architecture, models, user experience, performance, and stability following successful rapid prototyping and fast-paced decision making.
• Brainstorm and refine how customers use and apply the vast amounts of data we collect to automate cyber threat intelligence at global scale
• Keeping services up and running in a healthy state

What You'll Need:

• Experience programming in at least one object-oriented programming language, featuring strong types. We write code in Golang.
• Experience developing and consuming RESTful API web services.
• Experience interacting with major cloud provider APIs to provision cloud infrastructure, and to monitor it.
• Experience using a message queue. We use Kafka.
• Understanding data structures and commands for a key-value distributed caching solution, such as Redis.
• Experience using RDBMS databases, and accompanying knowledge of SQL, such as Postgres.
• Experience troubleshooting highly distributed systems, including scalability concerns.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience. Proficiency with common algorithms, data structures, code white boarding.
• 9+ years of production-level experience in building, delivering, and maintaining systems at scale (millions of data points)
• Ability to design scalable and resilient microservice-based architectures, including clean REST APIs and streaming communication channels
• Deep understand of multithreading, concurrency, and parallel processing technologies
• A thorough understanding of engineering best practices from appropriate testing paradigms to effective peer code reviews and resilient architecture
• Cloud Infrastructure Knowledge: AWS or GCP / Azure

Bonus Points:

• Machine learning or data science experience
• Understanding data structures and various APIs, for full-text search of application logs and event data in Elasticsearch.
• Experience with Cassandra, CQL, and its wide-column store database.
• Experience using graph structures (ie. nodes, edges), graph data, and graph databases.
• Prior industry experience or certification related to cybersecurity.

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:

• Remote-friendly and flexible work culture
• Market leader in compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leaves
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
• Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
• Vibrant office culture with world class amenities
• Great Place to Work Certified across the globe
