Engineer III - Cloud SDET - Lightning; Hybrid

Position: Engineer III - Cloud SDET - Lightning (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.
*
* About the Role:

** We’re building a welcoming & flexible team that prizes collaboration over competition, one which provides opportunities to learn new skills, mentor junior and senior developers and contribute to the direction of both the team & the products for which we’re responsible. This is a high trust environment where we allow team members to manage their own time, take holidays as they need it and reward them with competitive salaries and equity.

The Falcon endpoint agent is able to react in near-real-time to changes in the threat landscape, and underpinning this is the ability of the endpoint agent to quickly query our cloud for new information. This system operates within tight latency and response time constraints at a scale matched by few other environments, and the scale is only growing.  Crowd Strike is seeking a Software Developer in Test for our Detections Platform team.

This critical role in the organization will be responsible for validating that the cloud-side software that provides information to the endpoint agent, as well as the endpoint-side code that issues queries and incorporates the responses, is behaving as expected. You’ll be building out an end-to-end validation pipeline leveraging existing frameworks and tooling where possible, but able to color outside the lines when necessary.

You’ll work in an environment where quality
* is* the company culture. Come use cutting edge tools and technologies as well as tried and true ones.

Work on: verifying key features and functionality that spans our processing, data and customer facing application layers to ensure it’s able to support low-latency prevention of malware, manage thousands of events per second, query across terabytes of data and deliver accurate information to the endpoint - which also processes the data properly.

This role is hybrid, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site at one of the posted locations
** What You'll Do:
*** Both build stuff and break stuff!
* Verify component, system integration and application level features and functionality to ensure our reliability, accuracy and performance reaches our standards for quality.
* Participate in code and design reviews and provide technical guidance and feedback to team members.
* Review engineering technical design documents and requirements. Provide guidance and strategy about how and where to build in testability.
* Engage in continuous improvement of our end-to-end test and validation processes.
* Increase and improve our automated test coverage, and contribute to existing tools, frameworks and related solutions.
* Leverage new open source solutions to build new tools that test things in new ways.
* Improve our delivered product quality across our entire platform and applications.
* Collaborate on determining root causes of production outages and adding quality improvements to prevent outages in the future.
* Crowdstrike is a remote-friendly company, but we do get together from time to time. Some travel will be required for in-person meetings.
** What You'll Need:
*** 5+ years of experience as an SDET or Backend Developer (combined)
* 2-3+ years building testing frameworks and tooling for a Cloud SaaS product
* Strong debugging skills: ability to spot design flaws, race conditions and performance bottlenecks in complex architectures.
* A computer science background or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, etc.)
* Experience in building, validating, and/or maintaining large distributed systems at scale.
* Solid design and problem-solving skills with a demonstrated passion for engineering excellence, quality, security, and performance, coupled with a desire to ship elegant solutions to complex problems.
* Strong cross-group collaboration…
