About the Role:

At CrowdStrike, we stop breaches. We’re here to protect data, systems, technology – and, most importantly, the people they serve. Our cloud-based security is the first line of defense for the data we safeguard, and we are proud of that. Because we know how important our software is, we work fiercely to make sure that what we create works for everyone who needs it, every time.

We believe in one team, one fight, and our everyday work reflects that – our teams respect every member, and the people we work with care about the product and each other. We also understand that life is just as important as work, and treat time off and flexibility accordingly. We trust you to get the job done without having someone looking over your shoulder.

• Proven track record of building highly scalable, fault-tolerant systems that handle high-throughput data processing (millions+ events/queries per day)

• Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and shipping high-quality software to production

• Strong resource planning and prioritization skills with ability to make difficult decisions between competing initiatives (features vs. resiliency vs. technical debt)

• Excellent communication skills with ability to articulate technical tradeoffs and timelines clearly across all organizational levels

• Strong collaboration skills working across engineering, product management, support, and sales engineering teams

• Ability to attract and hire talent and grow the team rapidly

• Customer-focused mindset with initiative to proactively identify and fix issues
