About the Role:

Crowdstrike’s Proactive Security Posture Management (PSPM) is a brand new and a key product area for CrowdStrike. We’re extending CrowdStrike’s mission of “stopping breaches” into the next level of sophistication and visibility by ingesting massive amounts of data and applying various techniques and algorithms (including Machine Learning) to provide visibility that was not seen before and also enable automation to a new level in the industry. In this role you will use the latest technologies for building backend services that will ingest data, perform calculations and provide remediation tooling and automation. The language the team uses is GoLang for building microservices and you’ll use various database systems.

We’re a highly collaborative, friendly, inclusive and diverse group that prizes collaboration over competition. We provide opportunities to learn new skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we’re responsible. We work in a distributed, remote-first, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for taking full ownership of the delivery of our products, driving the technical aspects, helping the team to define the architecture and coordinating with stakeholders in terms of scope and priorities.
