About The Role

Have you spent hours arguing about tabs versus spaces? Does correlating and analyzing data at massive trillions-of-events-per-day scale excite you? Do you care deeply about cybersecurity and want to play an active role in helping to secure organizations from cyberattacks? Hi, we’d like to meet you.

We are seeking a talented Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Next-Gen SIEM team. Help us revolutionize security management with our AI-native Falcon Next-Gen SIEM platform. But wait, what is this Next-Gen SIEM you ask? CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM helps revolutionize threat detection, investigation and response for our customers by enabling them to detect, investigate and hunt down threats 150x faster and at a petabyte scale within a unified platform to stop breaches.

You’ll be designing and developing a world-class threat detection engine in Golang which enables security analysts to be more effective and efficient at incident management, threat hunting, and response. You’ll surface threats in their environments by detecting malicious activity within data across multiple security domains using advanced correlation and AI/ML tools.

Have no fear if you don't have prior experience with Golang; we value the desire to learn, the ability to write and ship high quality code, and the passion for seeing your solutions deployed in production. We expect you'll be comfortable working with your awesome colleagues and partner teams who are distributed across various geographies & time zones.

CrowdStrike is a computer security company, but we do not require candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do however look for a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.

Sounds like a challenge? It is! If that’s what you’re after, we’d love to hear from you.
