About CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses.

Our revolutionary approach and mission has allowed us to attract the best and brightest, not just from the technology and security sectors, but also from law enforcement, industry, and intelligence communities. What binds us all together is a shared passion for creating the next-generation technologies and services necessary for defeating today’s toughest adversaries.

True change doesn’t come from individuals. It takes an entire team united behind something big. Together, we’ll work hard, have fun, solve challenging problems, and revolutionize the security industry.

CrowdStrike engineers deal with massive data sets and work with cutting-edge big data technologies on a daily basis – taking in Terabytes of data a day at millions of events per second. As part of the CrowdStrike Engineering team, you’ll develop and scale massive data sets for real-time application using the most advanced and forward-leaning technologies out there.
