​​#WeAreCrowdStrike and our mission is to stop breaches. As a global leader in cybersecurity, our team changed the game. Since our inception, our market leading cloud-native platform has offered unparalleled protection against the most sophisticated cyberattacks. We’re looking for people with limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to the customer to join us in shaping the future of cybersecurity. Consistently recognized as a top workplace, CrowdStrike is committed to cultivating an inclusive, remote-first culture that offers people the autonomy and flexibility to balance the needs of work and life while taking their career to the next level. Interested in working for a company that sets the standard and leads with integrity? Join us on a mission that matters - one team, one fight.

About the Role:

We’re building a welcoming & flexible team that prizes collaboration over competition, one which provides opportunities to learn new skills, mentor junior and senior developers and contribute to the direction of both the team & the products for which we’re responsible. This is a high trust environment where we allow team members to manage their own time, take holidays as they need it and reward them with competitive salaries and equity.

The Falcon endpoint agent is able to react in near-real-time to changes in the threat landscape, and underpinning this is the ability of the endpoint agent to quickly query our cloud for new information. This system operates within tight latency and response time constraints at a scale matched by few other environments, and the scale is only growing.

CrowdStrike is seeking a Software Developer in Test for our Detections Platform team. This critical role in the organization will be responsible for validating that the cloud-side software that provides information to the endpoint agent, as well as the endpoint-side code that issues queries and incorporates the responses, is behaving as expected. You’ll be building out an end-to-end validation pipeline leveraging existing frameworks and tooling where possible, but able to color outside the lines when necessary. You’ll work in an environment where quality is the company culture. Come use cutting edge tools and technologies as well as tried and true ones.

Work on: verifying key features and functionality that spans our processing, data and customer facing application layers to ensure it’s able to support low-latency prevention of malware, manage thousands of events per second, query across terabytes of data and deliver accurate information to the endpoint - which also processes the data properly.

What You'll Do:

• Both build stuff and break stuff!

• Verify component, system integration and application level features and functionality to ensure our reliability, accuracy and performance reaches our standards for quality.

• Participate in code and design reviews and provide technical guidance and feedback to team members.

• Review engineering technical design documents and requirements. Provide guidance and strategy about how and where to build in testability.

• Engage in continuous improvement of our end-to-end test and validation processes.

• Increase and improve our automated test coverage, and contribute to existing tools, frameworks and related solutions.

• Leverage new open source solutions to build new tools that test things in new ways.

• Improve our delivered product quality across our entire platform and applications.

• Collaborate on determining root causes of production outages and adding quality improvements to prevent outages in the future.

• Crowdstrike is a remote-friendly company, but we do get together from time to time. Some travel will be required for in-person meetings.

What You'll Need:

• 5+ years of experience as an SDET or Backend Developer (combined)

• 2-3+ years building testing frameworks and tooling for a Cloud SaaS product

• Strong debugging skills: ability to spot design flaws, race conditions and performance bottlenecks in complex architectures.

• A computer science background or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, etc.)

• Experience in building, validating, and/or maintaining large distributed systems at scale.

• Solid design and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security, and performance, coupled with a desire to ship elegant solutions to complex problems.

• Strong cross-group collaboration and interpersonal communication skills working across engineering organizations.

• Experience with Golang, Python, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Redis, Kafka, Elastic Search, Python, and/or similar technologies. You don’t need all of these, but you need at least one.

• Both a sense of humor and a sense of humility.

Bonus Points:

• Prior experience with building, operating, validating, and scaling low-latency internet services.

• Experience with building and shipping cloud-connected endpoint software.

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

• Exposure to/experience with cybersecurity and intelligence.
