About the Team:

CrowdStrike is seeking a Cloud Software Engineer to join our expanding Surface Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for building globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystems using Golang and Python. While prior experience with Golang or Python is not required, it is considered an asset.

CrowdStrike is a 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.

You will join the External Attack Surface Management (EASM) engineering team, which develops the Falcon Surface product. Falcon Surface identifies unknown and exposed internet-facing assets to help security teams better secure their digital perimeter. This solution enables teams to detect, prioritize, and manage exposed assets across on-premise, subsidiary, cloud, and third-party environments—all without requiring agents or complex deployment.

This is a hybrid role requiring 2-3 days in office in Sunnyvale, CA.
