About the role

  • You’ll be joining the cloud backend team in the Platform product group responsible for authentication and authorization. The Auth team is responsible for both internal (e.g. Service-to-service authorization, etc.) and external (e.g. user login, etc) authN and authZ. The team is a critical part of cloud, frequently working collaboratively with many other product groups. The team builds and extends services that are capable of making 1+ trillion decisions per day!
  • What You’ll Do:
  • Lead backend engineering efforts from rapid prototypes to large-scale applications across CrowdStrike products
  • Leverage and build cloud based systems to detect targeted attacks and automate cyber threat intelligence production at a global scale
  • Brainstorm, define, and build collaboratively with members across multiple teams
  • Obsess about learning, and champion the newest technologies & tricks with others, raising the technical IQ of the team
  • Be mentored and mentor other developers on web, backend and data storage technologies and our system
  • Constantly re-evaluate our product to improve architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance and stability
  • Be an energetic ‘self-starter’ with the ability to take ownership and be accountable for deliverables
  • Use and give back to the open source community

  • 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
  • Bonus Points: Authored and led successful open source libraries and projects
  • Existing exposure to Go, AWS, GCP, SpiceDB/OpenFGA/Zanzibar, Kafka, Elasticsearch
