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
- As a Software Engineer, 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
Requirements
- Degree in Computer Science (or commensurate experience in data structures/algorithms/distributed systems)
- Over 5 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
