About the Role:
Our Fusion Product is on the hunt for a Senior-to-Principal (Level 7) backend software Engineer to build out platform products which provide our external users with core orchestration and workflow capabilities within their own environments, including (but not limited to) automated threat remediation.
Falcon Fusion - a core 'tier one' offering in our Flagship Platform, Falcon - is the Falcon product used by customers to automate breach remediations within their environments. It also serves as the runtime of apps build by our Foundry Module, and is 'dogfooded' by us internally to automate other workflows and speed up development. With these many varied uses, it can be responsible for processing anywhere from 500M to 10B+ events/day and is in use by essentially every single customer of the Falcon Platform.
This role is for an experienced backend microservices developer adept with cloud engineering principles. Your passion and meticulous attention to performance, reliability and scalability will be key ingredients to your success here at CrowdStrike.
