Program Manager II, Engineering - Sensor Foundation; Hybrid

As a global leader in cybersecurity, Crowd Strike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily.

Our customers span all industries, and they count on Crowd Strike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. Crowd Strikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation.

We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented Crowd Strikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters?

The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

We're investing in program managers who are energetic, eager to learn, flexible and capable of managing large scale/complex engineering projects in a fast-paced environment through innovative AI-enhanced approaches.

As an Operations Program Manager, you'll be responsible for directly supporting and engaging in the work, teams and projects of the Sensor Foundations Platform Group. This group extends Crowd Strike's mission of "stopping breaches" by building robust sensor infrastructure, platform engineering capabilities, and cloud services that power our endpoint security platform.

We're seeking an Operations Program Manager to transform how we manage complex sensor platform engineering programs through AI-enhanced workflows and traditional program leadership. You'll directly support the Sensor Foundations Platform Group's platform engineering, cloud engineering, and sensor core teams while building intelligent systems that revolutionize program management practices across Crowd Strike's engineering organization.

This role combines hands-on program leadership (managing large platform and cloud engineering teams across geo-locations) with developing AI-powered solutions that automate routine tasks, surface insights, and enhance decision-making for sensor infrastructure and platform engineering programs. You'll work closely across functional teams and across geo-locations in Europe and the United States to collaborate and ensure dependencies are well known, critical issues are identified and driven to resolution.

This role is hybrid, on-site in either our Sunnyvale or Redmond Office. Candidate should be comfortable visiting the office 2-3 times a week and should be within a commutable distance (within 30-miles).

Program & Operations Management (70%):
