Backend Engineer III

CrowdStrike is looking for a Sr. Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Surface Engineering Team. Our new colleague will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang & Python. Prior experience with Golang or Python is not required, but will be helpful.

CrowdStrike is a computer security company, but we do not require candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike’s mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.

About the Team:

You will be joining the EASM Engineering team a.k.a. CrowdStrike Falcon Surface.

Falcon Surface pinpoints unknown, exposed internet-facing assets so security teams can best secure their digital perimeter. It enables security teams to detect, prioritize, and manage all of their exposed internet-facing assets that are centralized or remote across on-premise environments, subsidiary, cloud and third-party vendors with no agents or deployment required.
