Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

As a Sr II (equivalent to Principal elsewhere) Frontend Software Engineer CrowdStrike, you will work with a talented and dedicated team to build and maintain the user interface for the Falcon platform. You will provide a high quality user experience that our customers around the world use 24/7 to protect their systems from the most sophisticated adversaries.

This team in particular is an integral part of our Graph Systems/Threat Graph architecture which 'bubbles up' views to our customers of any threats to their environment(s) which require their attention. We contribute especially in the area of content management as it pertains to those views, the rules that are applied to threat events being observed, and categorization/classification and routing of different types of threats. This allows customers insight and control over their role in remediation within a single pane of glass unifying data points from many disparate sources.

Our JavaScript framework is Ember, but if you've used React, Angular, or Vue, you'll feel right at home, and we’ll help you get comfortable with both Ember and our codebase. Since we only support evergreen browsers, we can push the boundaries of what’s possible on the web platform while working with truly massive amounts of data. Our ideal candidates are sensitive to the needs of the users and love to find solutions in a unique and dynamic problem space. 

We provide opportunities to learn new skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we’re responsible. We work in a distributed, remote-first, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life.

Our ideal candidate will be responsible for taking full ownership of delivering and driving the technical aspects on the frontend, including heavy collaboration on design/UX with tools like Figma, helping the team define architecture, and coordinating with stakeholders on scope and priorities. 

This role will begin as fully remote for the first 18-24 months. It can be based out of Austin Metro or New York City Metro and will likely eventually include 1-3 days in-office per week on average (NYC and Austin office are in development and/or expanding, so workers here will remain fully remote for 1.5-2 years more than likely)

About the Team:
