Sr. Software Development Engineer - Falcon Exposure Management (Remote, GBR)
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.
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 always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.
About the Role:
CrowdStrike Endpoint Security Platform is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint, and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and blocks malicious activity.
The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.
We're seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Engineer to join the growing Endpoint Security Platform cloud team at CrowdStrike. As a key member of our team, you'll play a critical role in designing, building, maintaining and running the foundational cloud services that power our industry-leading platform. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies, including Golang, microservices architecture, and diverse database ecosystems, to deliver comprehensive visibility into endpoint security and beyond.
You'll work on a globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystem that supports integration of events from Crowdstrike's internal providers as well as from 3rd party integrations.
Don't worry if you don't know Golang, we will teach you!
If you are a hands-on engineer who wants to operate at scale, apply & let's talk!
