Position Overview

CrowdStrike is a global leader in cybersecurity, dedicated to protecting the people, processes, and technologies that drive modern organizations. Our mission since 2011 has been to stop breaches, and we have redefined modern security with the world's most advanced AI-native platform. We serve customers across all industries, ensuring their businesses run smoothly, their communities remain safe, and their lives move forward. CrowdStrike fosters a mission-driven culture that offers flexibility and autonomy, empowering every team member to own their careers. We are seeking talented individuals with boundless passion, a relentless focus on innovation, and a fanatical commitment to our customers, community, and each other.

About the Role

We are developing the next generation of CrowdStrike's platform UI, codenamed Kestrel. This initiative involves creating new UI and backend features designed to help customers "Stop the Breach" by unifying data across security domains, streamlining access to critical security information, and enabling users to personalize their experience based on their roles.

In this role, you will be instrumental in innovating, building, and maintaining critical backend features that support the Kestrel platform. Additionally, you will maintain existing services written in Node.js, which manage dynamic content and localization within our console, acting as a bridge between our Cloud (Go Lang) services and our front-end UI applications.

We are looking for individuals with experience in distributed technologies, strong API and systems design sensibilities, and a passion for writing high-performance code at scale. You will collaborate closely with multiple backend teams, core service teams, and UI + backend feature teams to bring these features to fruition.
