About the Role:
Our Ingestion group at CrowdStrike manages all network communications event traffic between our security cloud and customer resources. This means ultra-high volume services (all written in Golang) supported by Kafka, and plenty of work with network connections and protocols (etc. - negotiating TLS, balancing network connections, managing virtual sessions, distributing dynamic content, managing datastreams, and so on).
CrowdStrike is seeking a backend software engineer who wants to grow at scale, is comfortable with being technically stretched, and would like to positively impact our mission to stop breaches. Your experience working with large-scale distributed systems will be applied across a range of services.

As a Major Initiative Lead you will have high autonomy with high expectations, often serving as a guiding hand in designing things like proprietary Cloud Protocol(s), and working closely with Falcon Sensor teams for each of the platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). Your details-oriented mindset and performance focus will allow CrowdStrike to scale into the future. Solid experience with large-scale distributed systems, network protocols, performance optimization, open source tools and libraries and multi-tenant architecture is highly desirable but not required.
If you want a job that makes a difference in the world and operates at high-scale, you've come to the right place.
