About the Role:

Help us protect CrowdStrike and its customers from the most advanced threats!

As a Sr. Engineer in Product Security specializing in Cryptography – you will play a critical role in ensuring the security and integrity of our products and platforms. Cryptography is foundational to our customers’ trust – and you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining cryptographic solutions that protect this trust. This dynamic, collaborative role will expose you to industry-expert engineers across the whole Product organization, and give you hands-on in-depth experience with our scaled, event-driven, distributed infrastructure.

We believe in “One Team. One Fight.” – and our team reflects this. You will be empowered to make decisions, apply your deep expertise, and have your voice heard. We will trust you to get the job done and chase our mission without someone looking over your shoulder. Our team will grow together – and you will mentor and lead more junior engineers that are eager to learn.

This role will require the candidate to periodically undergo and pass additional background and fingerprint check(s) consistent with government customer requirements.

What You’ll Do:

• Design, implement, and maintain cryptographic solutions for our products and platforms at scale – ensuring performance and reliability across a large number of services and users.

• Manage the entire TLS lifecycle, including certificate management, key rotation, and protocol upgrades.

• Develop and oversee code signing processes to ensure the authenticity and integrity of our software.

• Integrate and manage Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to enhance the security of cryptographic keys and operations.

• Develop scripting and automation solutions to streamline cryptographic operations and integrations.

• Lead and manage projects involving diverse cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring alignment and successful delivery while building deep relationships with product and engineering leaders

• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in cryptography and cybersecurity to continuously improve our security posture.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior security engineers and participate in interviewing new talent.

What You’ll Need:

• Deep expertise in TLS lifecycle management, including Certificate Authority (CA) management, certificate operations, and key rotation.

• Familiarity with code signing processes and tools.

• Proven experience with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and their integration.

• In-depth knowledge of cryptographic algorithms, protocols, and standards (e.g., AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2).

• Proficiency in scripting and automation to ease cryptographic operations and integrations (e.g., Python, Bash, Go).

• Experience with Cloud-scale, business-critical Linux and/or other Unix-like variant environments

• Experience operating at scale and complexity in services and users.

• Demonstrated ability to run projects with diverse stakeholders and ensure successful delivery in a fast-paced environment with teams that engineer products and bring them to market.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with private CA design and management.

• Experience with post-quantum cryptography and knowledge of emerging quantum-resistant algorithms.

• Experience with compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, FIPS, PCI-DSS).

• Familiarity with cloud security and experience securing cloud-based applications and services in AWS, GCP, and/or Azure Cloud environments.
