About the Role:

We're building the next-generation infrastructure and security platform for CrowdStrike. The Managed Services Development (MSD) team builds the platform and tools for our analysts on the OverWatch team to process and hunt (identify potentially harmful activity) through hundreds of billions of events per day, and growing. MSD build and maintain the platform and tools for Falcon Complete analysts to run customer's security operations in our production cloud environment.

We are looking for an engineer who wants to help move the MSD platform forward as we scale even further. Someone with a broad range of computer skills throughout the software stack and clear communication skills would thrive in this environment. You should love working on large- scale, distributed, cloud-based, highly available systems that can efficiently operate over hundreds of billions events a day.

* Be comfortable with projects to build new components and extend the current system. You would need to gather requirements, plan, code, test, and deploy to completion.

* Help the OverWatch team become more effective in their analysis and hunting by improving the platform and tools.

* Help the Falcon Complete team become more effective and efficient in their mission to support customer's security operations large and small.

* Work closely with cloud architects to evolve our systems for future growth and platform development.

* Bring research projects into production environments and integrate them with the MSD systems.

* Work in a devops environment where you (and your team) are responsible for the systems you deploy.

* Be an energetic ‘self-starter’ with the ability to take ownership and be accountable for deliverables.

* Have a desire for quality and understand what tools and processes you need to reach that level and help the team reach a higher bar.

* Be an adaptable and flexible engineer who is constantly learning and enjoys tackling complex and novel challenges.
