Company mission

CrowdStrike is on a mission to stop breaches. Its purpose is to provide safety and security to some of the world’s largest, most influential companies and, by extension, the billions of people around the world who use their services.

Role

Who you are

  • As a remote employee on a team distributed across various time zones, you will not have direct access to all of your co-workers at every point of time, so your ability to work unsupervised, communicate asynchronously, and take the initiative in maintaining lines of communication is crucial
  • In addition, we are looking for someone who would like to be part of a team who are passionate about their work and go the extra mile to exceed expectations
  • We love enthusiastic individuals who bring a positive attitude to their work and really care about what they produce for our internal customers
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent academic/work experience
  • Demonstrated, multi-year experience in software engineering
  • Experience in developing scalable, distributed and production-grade services
  • Proficiency in Linux and containers
  • Proficiency in hands-on coding in multiple programming languages
  • Knowledge of SQL and No-SQL database systems
  • Knowledge of cloud technologies
  • Ability to maintain and improve existing Go and Python code bases
  • Ability to communicate technical detail in a simple, top-down manner to management, customers, and peers
  • Ability to independently make sound, justifiable decisions and take action
  • Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work independently and meet deadlines
  • Ability to work on a geographically distributed and diverse team

Desirable

  • Familiarity with the AWS or GCP cloud ecosystem (e.g. EC2, S3, VPC, ECS)
  • Experience developing Web UIs, e.g. Single-Page-Applications (SPA)
  • Experience creating scalable and well-documented HTTP APIs
  • Experience with malware analysis or software reverse engineering
  • Offensive information security experience, e.g. from capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions

What the job involves

  • The CrowdStrike Intelligence team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to work on our dedicated engineering team, building processing pipelines, information storage systems and presentation layers in support of our world-class team of analysts and researchers
  • The collection, processing, and exploration of information at a large scale is at the core of the Intelligence mission at CrowdStrike
  • The Intelligence Automation team is responsible for prototyping, building and operating the systems that make up our Intelligence pipeline, and we'd like you to join us!
  • You will use your deep experience in scalable, distributed architectures to design flexible data integration and processing systems in a fast-paced Intelligence environment
  • In this environment, requirements sometimes shift rapidly, and projects can live anything from weeks to years depending on changes in the surrounding ecosystem
  • You will be responsible for all aspects of the software you design, from initial design, over hands-on prototyping, overseeing and taking an active part in the actual implementation, down to deployment to production, and ensuring smooth operations
  • In addition, you will be responsible for proper documentation and training of customers of the systems you design
  • You will interact regularly with your internal customers to gather requirements, solicit feedback, and validate your results
  • We are agnostic when it comes to technology stacks, and you will be free to pick the technologies and tools that best fit the purpose at any given time, based on your previous exposure to a wide variety of technologies such as programming languages, database systems, network protocols, queuing and messaging systems, etc
  • Integrate into the Intelligence team and gather requirements from Intelligence Analysts and Technical Analysts as internal customers
  • Assume responsibility for the long-term maintenance of both, new and legacy systems
  • Autonomously develop requirements based on anything from vague mission statements to very detailed technical specifications
  • Develop systems and autonomously make choices about implementation details, as well as the right balance between rapid development, scalability, and performance

Our take

Since CrowdStrike was founded by a trio of former McAfee executives in 2011, it’s grown into a thousands-strong, NASDAQ-listed company. With customers including Verizon, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs, it’s considered one of the world’s top enterprise cybersecurity vendors along with the likes of Cisco, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks.

One of the reasons behind CrowdStrike's continued success is its ability to keep pace with the evolving tech market, for instance with its Generative AI security analyst that leverages recent developments in AI. Although not immune to the slowdown of the global economy, the company's modular design has given it the upper hand, allowing clients to consolidate their security spend with CrowdStrike instead of selecting packages from multiple vendors at a higher overall cost.

With long-term demand for cybersecurity products growing, and its reputation as strong as ever, CrowdStrike shows no signs of slowing down. It has partnered with Ignition Technology to double down on its UK presence, and continues to be a voice in the wider market through its "Falcon Fund" investment vehicle and position as a founding member of NIST's Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC).
