​About the Role:

The CrowdStrike Intelligence team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to work on our dedicated engineering team, building processing pipelines, information storage systems and presentation layers in support of our world-class team of analysts and researchers.

The collection, processing, and exploration of information at a large scale is at the core of the Intelligence mission at CrowdStrike. The Intelligence Automation team is responsible for prototyping, building and operating the systems that make up our Intelligence pipeline, and we'd like you to join us!

You will use your deep experience in scalable, distributed architectures to design flexible data integration and processing systems in a fast-paced Intelligence environment. In this environment, requirements sometimes shift rapidly, and projects can live anything from weeks to years depending on changes in the surrounding ecosystem. You will be responsible for all aspects of the software you design, from initial design, over hands-on prototyping, overseeing and taking an active part in the actual implementation, down to deployment to production, and ensuring smooth operations. In addition, you will be responsible for proper documentation and training of customers of the systems you design. You will interact regularly with your internal customers to gather requirements, solicit feedback, and validate your results. We are agnostic when it comes to technology stacks, and you will be free to pick the technologies and tools that best fit the purpose at any given time, based on your previous exposure to a wide variety of technologies such as programming languages, database systems, network protocols, queuing and messaging systems, etc.

As a remote employee on a team distributed across various time zones, you will not have direct access to all of your co-workers at every point of time, so your ability to work unsupervised, communicate asynchronously, and take the initiative in maintaining lines of communication is crucial. In addition, we are looking for someone who would like to be part of a team who are passionate about their work and go the extra mile to exceed expectations. We love enthusiastic individuals who bring a positive attitude to their work and really care about what they produce for our internal customers.

What You’ll Do:

• Integrate into the Intelligence team and gather requirements from Intelligence Analysts and Technical Analysts as internal customers

• Assume responsibility for the long-term maintenance of both, new and legacy systems

• Autonomously develop requirements based on anything from vague mission statements to very detailed technical specifications

• Develop systems and autonomously make choices about implementation details, as well as the right balance between rapid development, scalability, and performance

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent academic/work experience

• Demonstrated, multi-year experience in software engineering

• Experience in developing scalable, distributed and production-grade services

• Proficiency in Linux and containers

• Proficiency in hands-on coding in multiple programming languages

• Knowledge of SQL and No-SQL database systems

• Knowledge of cloud technologies

• Ability to maintain and improve existing Go and Python code bases

• Ability to communicate technical detail in a simple, top-down manner to management, customers, and peers

• Ability to independentlymake sound, justifiable decisions and take action

• Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work independently and meet deadlines

• Ability to work on a geographically distributed and diverse team

• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with the AWS or GCP cloud ecosystem (e.g. EC2, S3, VPC, ECS)

• Experience developing Web UIs, e.g. Single-Page-Applications (SPA)

• Experience creating scalable and well-documented HTTP APIs

• Experience with malware analysis or software reverse engineering

• Offensive information security experience, e.g. from capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions

• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leaves
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
