Intelligence Sr. UI/UX Engineer (Remote, GBR)

About the Role:

The collection, processing, and exploration of information at a large scale is at the core of the Intelligence mission at CrowdStrike. The Intelligence Engineering 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 build user interfaces and data presentation layers for 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. Iterative development is key to optimizing effort and user experience: you don’t know if a visualization will be useful until you test it. You will work alone or in small project teams, be responsible for all aspects of the software you design, from documentation to deployment to production, and will interact regularly with your internal customers to gather requirements, solicit feedback and validate your results. You will build UIs using our React-based framework. Other than that, we are agnostic when it comes to technology stacks, and you will be free to pick the technologies that best fit the requirements at any given time, based on your previous exposure to a variety of programming languages.

As a remote employee, you connect to your co-workers mostly via Slack and Zoom. In this setting your ability to work unsupervised, communicate asynchronously, and take initiative in maintaining lines of communication is crucial. At the same time you are expected to mentor and guide less experienced colleagues within that setting.

What You'll Do:

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

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

• Take initiative to launch new projects and develop solutions for difficult technical challenges

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

• Produce presentation layers for gathered data or integrate into existing databases and knowledge bases

• Coach and lead less experienced engineers

What You'll Need:

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

• Intimate knowledge coding in JavaScript

• Intimate knowledge of web development in React or similar frameworks

• Ability to communicate technical detail in a simple, top-down manner to management, customers, and colleagues at a level of detail suitable for the respective audience

• Ability to independently  make sound, justifiable decisions and take action

• Strong drive to plan, organize and prioritize work independently and meet deadlines

• 4+ years of relevant experience

• Ability to work on a geographically distributed and diverse team

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with data visualization, visual design, and UX design

• Familiarity with remote usability testing

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

• Experience offering scalable and well-documented HTTP APIs for customers
