Senior Manager, Site Reliability Engineering (Hybrid)

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike 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 CrowdStrike 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. CrowdStrikers 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 CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. The future of cybersecurity starts with you. At CrowdStrike, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is fundamental to the reliability and scalability of our cloud-native security platform. Recently we introduced adaptive concurrency to our core kafka library which implements flow control to protect database performance and are presently making large-scale automations around how we build new clouds. The overarching aim has been to build out the next-generation infrastructure and security platform for CrowdStrike, which includes an application and service delivery platform, massively scalable distributed data storage and replication systems, and a cutting-edge search and distributed graph system. We're now launching a new offshoot from our Core SRE group that will embed into specific product arms and further help us scale CrowdStrike’s infrastructure and products to handle massive growth in traffic and data as we continue to experience dramatic growth in the usage of our products. Crowdstrike Falcon is THE industry standard in cloud-native cyber security and threat hunting, processing Trillions of events/day.
