About the Role: Software Engineer - Detections Platform (Remote, ITA)

CrowdStrike is seeking an experienced software engineer to bolster our Detections Platform team. The cloud segment of this platform collaborates with endpoint code to detect security issues, halt adversaries, and provide clients with actionable data.

As an Engineer-3, you'll contribute to the next iteration of cloud-side detections processing, including real-time endpoint-to-cloud communications and integration with new machine-learning models.

Our primary languages are Go and some Python. While previous Go experience is beneficial, it's not mandatory. Although security industry experience is preferred, it’s not essential; we provide mentorship and training in security topics as required. A strong interest in our mission and an ability to collaborate with product teams and customers is crucial.

• Engage in continuous learning and encourage peers to raise the bar.
• Implement engineering best practices, including appropriate testing paradigms, effective code reviews, and resilient architecture patterns.
• Be a ‘self-starter’ who takes ownership and is accountable for deliverables.

Qualifications:

• Background in computer science or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, distributed systems).
• 5+ years of experience in building and scaling back-end systems in production.
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills.
• In-depth knowledge of distributed systems and scalability challenges.
• Familiarity with Cassandra, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis.
