About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a Senior Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Risk platform Engineering Team within the Exposure management organization. Our new colleague 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.
This role is for the team that builds and maintains the Risk platform within the Exposure management product. Risk management platform is offering a single pane of glass experience by aggregating all risks within an organization in a single place, offering uniform access to data and diverse risk management features such as reporting, ticketing, suppression rules and prioritization. The platform supports integration of Crowdstrike’s internal risk providers as well as from 3rd party integrations
Our team of backend-focused developers works primarily in Golang, operating under the modern 'end-to-end ownership' model that requires full lifecycle ownership of your services, and makes use of distributed/microservices-based architecture to build features for our highly available cloud SaaS, the Falcon Platform.
Don't worry if you don't know Golang, we will teach you!
If you are a hands-on engineer who wants to operate at scale, apply & let's talk!
