Sr. Software Engineer

The Agentless Scanning team at CrowdStrike is expanding our security platform’s capabilities by delivering comprehensive cloud protection that complements our industry-leading agent technology. We’ve evolved from pioneering Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to building a unified agentless platform that combines data security with vulnerability scanning, providing complete visibility across multi-cloud environments.

Our technology scans cloud workloads, identifies vulnerabilities, and secures sensitive data across AWS, Azure, and GCP - extending CrowdStrike’s protection to cover every aspect of your cloud infrastructure. We’re solving some of the most challenging problems in cloud security: how to provide deep visibility and protection at scale across diverse cloud services and configurations.

We’re a team of builders and innovators who thrive on complex technical challenges. If you’re energized by distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and the opportunity to protect thousands of organizations worldwide, we want to hear from you.

Join us in expanding CrowdStrike’s security platform, where innovation meets impact.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect and build scalable backend services that scan millions of cloud resources daily across multi-cloud environments
• Design and implement distributed systems that process massive volumes of security data with high reliability and low latency
• Develop agentless scanning capabilities for vulnerability detection, configuration assessment, and data security across cloud workloads
• Collaborate cross-functionally with security researchers, product managers, and fellow engineers to deliver features that customers love
• Own features end-to-end - from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
• Drive technical excellence through code reviews, architectural discussions, and mentoring team members
• Solve complex challenges in cloud security, data processing, and distributed systems at enterprise scale

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of backend/systems engineering experience with modern languages (Go, Python, Java, C#, or Node.js)
• Deep cloud platform expertise (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - you understand cloud internals, not just APIs
• Proven experience designing and building distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• Container orchestration experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or similar technologies
• Strong ownership mentality - you take pride in your work and see projects through to success
• Self-directed learning ability - you can dive into unfamiliar territory and emerge with solutions
• Excellent collaboration skills - you communicate clearly and work effectively across teams

Bonus Points:

• Experience with cloud security, vulnerability scanning, or DSPM solutions
• Knowledge of security scanning techniques, CSPM, or compliance frameworks
• Contributions to open-source projects or technical communities
• Experience with high-throughput data processing pipelines
• Background in SaaS platforms serving enterprise customers

Why Join Our Team:

• High-impact work: Your code will protect sensitive data for thousands of global organizations
• Technical growth: Work on challenging problems at the intersection of cloud computing, security, and distributed systems
• Innovation-driven culture: We encourage experimentation and value creative problem-solving
• CrowdStrike’s mission: Be part of stopping breaches and protecting customers worldwide
