About the Role:
Crowdstrike's Proactive Security Posture Management (PSPM) is a brand new and 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 unparalleled visibility and enable automation at an all new level in the industry. In this role, you will use the latest technologies for building backend services that will ingest data, perform complex calculations and provide remediation tooling and automation. You'll work in Golang, building microservices, and use Kafka heavily too.
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. 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.
What You'll Do:
- Development of back-end services hosting both private and public-facing web services.
- Development of public-facing command-line shell utilities, some which interact with your web services.
- Design of supporting infrastructure (databases, real-time data streams, etc.).
- Integration support and documentation for complimentary teams (ie. UX/UI, Sensors, etc.).
- Participation in configuring and receiving uptime alerts related to the services you control.
- Reflect thoughtfully to improve architecture, models, user experience, performance, and stability following successful rapid prototyping and fast-paced decision making.
- Brainstorm and refine how customers use and apply the vast amounts of data we collect to automate cyber threat intelligence at global scale.
- Keeping services up and running in a healthy state.
- 3-5 years of experience building features with microservices for a SaaS product.
- Expertise in (one of) Golang, Java, Scala, Node.js OR Python (we use Go).
- Experience building large scale platforms handing petabytes of data.
- Expertise and proven success designing owning services through their full life cycle (you build it, you own/run it)
- Experience using a message queue. We use Kafka. (e.g., defining messages, estimating message sizes and rates, monitoring lag)
- Understanding data structures and commands for a key-value distributed caching solution, such as Redis.
- Experience using RDBMS databases, and accompanying knowledge of SQL, such as Postgres.
- Experience troubleshooting highly distributed systems, including scalability concerns. (e.g, concurrency, immutability, sharding, eventual consistency, etc.)
- Experience developing and consuming RESTful API web services.
- Experience interacting with major cloud provider APIs to provision cloud infrastructure, and to monitor it. We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud provider APIs the most, as well as Azure and Google Cloud (GCP).
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience. Proficiency with common algorithms, data structures, code whiteboarding.
- Machine learning or data science experience
- Understanding data structures and various APIs, for full-text search of application logs and event data in Elasticsearch.
- Experience with Cassandra, CQL, and its wide-column store database.
- Experience using graph structures (ie. nodes, edges), graph data, and graph databases.
- Prior industry experience or certification related to cybersecurity.
