SDET III (Hybrid, NYC)

About the Team:
The  CrowdStrike Detection Engine (CDE) team is building a powerful, next-generation platform designed to be a force multiplier for security teams. Our platform empowers customers who leverage multiple Falcon products to create and manage advanced, unified detections and content. This core platform capability is a strategic imperative for CrowdStrike, aiming to provide a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate, ensuring our customers have unparalleled detection and response capabilities across the entire Falcon ecosystem.

About The Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking a Software Developer in Test for our Cloud Detections Platform team, which is tasked with building CrowdStrike’s next generation detection platform. In this capacity, you will be in charge of developing and operating the team's CI/CD pipeline, making sure our solutions work, and raising the alarm when they suddenly don’t. You’ll be building out an end-to-end validation pipeline, largely from scratch,  leveraging existing frameworks and tooling where possible, but able to color outside the lines when necessary. You’ll work in an environment where quality is the company culture. Come use cutting edge tools and technologies as well as tried and true ones.

Work on: verifying key features and functionality that spans our processing, data and customer facing application layers to ensure it’s able to support low-latency prevention of malware, manage tens of thousands of events per second, query across terabytes of data and support the team in delivering quality code, tested to perfection.

This is a hybrid role based out of our office in NYC. Candidate should be comfortable visiting the office twice a week once the development center is established.

What You'll Do:

• Both build stuff and break stuff!

• Verify component, system integration and application level features and functionality to ensure our reliability, accuracy and performance reaches our standards for quality.

• Participate in code and design reviews and provide technical guidance and feedback to team members.

• Review engineering technical design documents and requirements. Provide guidance and strategy about how and where to build in testability.

• Engage in continuous improvement of our end-to-end test and validation processes.

• Increase and improve our automated test coverage, and contribute to existing tools, frameworks and related solutions.

• Leverage new open source solutions to build new tools that test things in new ways.

• Improve our delivered product quality across our entire platform and applications.

• Collaborate on determining root causes of production outages and adding quality improvements to prevent outages in the future.

• Crowdstrike is a remote-friendly company, but we do get together from time to time. Some travel will be required for in-person meetings.

• 5+ years of experience as an SDET or Backend Developer (combined)

• 2-3+ years building testing frameworks and tooling for a Cloud SaaS product

• Strong debugging skills: ability to spot design flaws, race conditions and performance bottlenecks in complex architectures.

• A computer science background or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, etc.)

• Experience in building, validating, and/or maintaining large distributed systems at scale.

• Solid design and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security, and performance, coupled with a desire to ship elegant solutions to complex problems.

• Strong cross-group collaboration and interpersonal communication skills working across engineering organizations.

• Experience with Golang, Python, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Redis, Kafka, Elastic Search, Python, and/or similar technologies. You don’t need all of these, but you need at least one.

• Both a sense of humor and a sense of humility.

• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

• Prior experience with building, operating, validating, and scaling low-latency internet services.

• Experience with building and shipping cloud-connected endpoint software.

• Solid grounding in the technology of at least one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Exposure to/experience with cybersecurity and intelligence.
