Senior Cloud Software Engineer - Risk Platform

Employment Type: Full-time

Position Overview

CrowdStrike is seeking a Senior Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Risk Platform Engineering Team within the Exposure Management organization. This role involves building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang. While prior Golang experience is helpful, it is not a strict requirement as training will be provided.

This position is within the team responsible for building and maintaining the Risk platform, a core component of the Exposure Management product. The Risk Management platform provides a unified view of an organization's risks by aggregating data and offering features such as reporting, ticketing, suppression rules, and prioritization. It supports integrations with both internal CrowdStrike risk providers and third-party sources.

Our backend-focused development team primarily utilizes Golang and operates under an "end-to-end ownership" model, encompassing the full lifecycle of their services. We leverage a distributed/microservices-based architecture to develop features for our highly available cloud SaaS, the Falcon Platform.

If you are a hands-on engineer who thrives on operating at scale, we encourage you to apply.

A strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers are expected.

What You'll Do

• Lead engineering efforts and architectural design for applications designed to scale to billions of processed events with complex data flows.
