The summary above was generated by AI

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. 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:

Our Ingestion group at CrowdStrike manages all network communications event traffic between our security cloud and customer resources. This means ultra-high volume services (all written in Golang) supported by Kafka, and plenty of work with network connections and protocols (etc. - negotiating TLS, balancing network connections, managing virtual sessions, distributing dynamic content, managing datastreams, and so on). 

CrowdStrike is seeking a backend software engineer who wants to grow at scale, is comfortable with being technically stretched, and would like to positively impact our mission to stop breaches. Your experience working with large-scale distributed systems will be applied across a range of services. 

What You'll Do: 

As a Major Initiative Lead you will have high autonomy with high expectations, often serving as a guiding hand in designing things like proprietary Cloud Protocol(s), and working closely with Falcon Sensor teams for each of the platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). Your details-oriented mindset and performance focus will allow CrowdStrike to scale into the future. Solid experience with large-scale distributed systems, network protocols, performance optimization, open source tools and libraries and multi-tenant architecture is highly desirable but not required.

If you want a job that makes a difference in the world and operates at high-scale, you’ve come to the right place.

What You'll Need: 

  • Degree in Computer Science (or commensurate experience in data structures/algorithms/distributed systems).

  • Over 7 years' experience in a full-time backend software development role

  • Ample experience building high volume services and systems for a cloud-delivered SaaS product 

  • Solid grounding in the technology of at least one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP) 

  • The ability to scale backend systems – sharding, partitioning, scaling horizontally are second nature to you.

  • The ability to troubleshoot and pinpoint system failures across a pipeline of services.

  • The desire to ship code and the love of seeing your bits run in production.

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems and scalability challenges, multi-threading, concurrency, and parallel processing technologies.

  • Team player skills – we embrace collaborating as a team as much as possible

  • A thorough understanding of engineering best practices from appropriate testing paradigms to effective peer code reviews and resilient architecture.

  • The ability to thrive in a fast paced, test-driven, collaborative and iterative programming environment.

  • The skills to meet your commitments on time and produce high quality software that is unit tested, code reviewed, and checked in regularly for continuous integration.

  • Ability to brainstorm, define, and build collaboratively with members across multiple teams.

  • Solid design and problem solving skills with demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security and performance

  • Strong cross-group collaboration and interpersonal communication skills working with a variety of roles; including engineering, product management, support and sales engineering

Bonus Points: 

  • Industry experience in implementing web servers and load balancers

  • Authored and lead successful open source libraries and projects

  • Contributions to the open source community (GitHub, Stack Overflow, blogging)

  • Existing exposure to Go, Scala, AWS, Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch…

  • Prior experience in the cybersecurity or intelligence fields

  • Capacité de dépanner et d’identifier les défaillances du système dans un pipeline de services.

  • Désir de livrer du code et amour de voir ce que vous créez fonctionner en production.

  • Compréhension approfondie des systèmes distribués et des défis de l’évolutivité, du traitement multifilière, de la concurrence et des technologies de traitement parallèle.

  • Capacité de travailler en équipe. Le travail d’équipe est très important pour nous.
