About Our Group:
The CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations (CAO) Team combines CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence and the CrowdStrike® Falcon OverWatch™ threat hunting team, effectively disrupting adversaries and increasing their operational costs. The integration of threat hunting and intelligence operations has proven invaluable in detecting, disrupting, and stopping modern-day adversaries. Utilizing both disciplines and trillions of telemetry events from the AI-powered CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, the CAO Team has shown significant impact in countering adversary activities. CrowdStrike's adversary knowledge, expertise in threat response, and visibility from the Falcon platform have made the CAO Team effective in breach prevention and customer protection. The team's performance continuously reinforces CrowdStrike's role in stopping breaches and safeguarding customers in today's threat landscape.
About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing CAO Engineering Team. As our new colleague, you will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang. Prior experience with Golang is not required, but will be helpful.
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 expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.
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 features. While they will get support from the team, they should be able to work independently, once the requirements are clear.
This role is open in Romania, remote or hybrid.
