About the Role:
Are you a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) / Test Automation Engineer passionate about optimizing development and testing life cycle via tools and process automation?
Do you enjoy working with large scale distributed systems and ensure the contracts between microservices are honored?
As part of the Data Platform Cloud Engineering team you will help build globally distributed, fault-tolerant and highly-scalable cloud-based systems using microservices architecture. You will lay the foundation that will enable CrowdStrike to continue pushing the state of the art for security services. Many other teams will be leveraging the core pieces of infrastructure you help build to further enhance security products and make cyberspace a safer place.
We are looking for a technical, hands-on Software Development Engineer in Test who will write code daily to develop automation and build tools that accurately ensure the quality, reliability and accuracy of our large-scale cloud-based cybersecurity systems.
This is an excellent opportunity to join our talented team of technology enthusiasts, learn and also contribute to one of the most revolutionary platforms in cyber security.
… and don't worry if you don't know Go, we will teach you!
