Engineering Manager

About the Role

CrowdStrike is seeking an Engineering Manager / Sr. Engineering Manager for the NG-SIEM (next generation security information and event management) product group working on the LogScale Platform  Global Serverless Platform team. The Global Serverless Platform team is responsible for building and operating the global- and region-level automation that will automatically manage the industry’s largest event data store and search system. Our goals are to scale to 100s of PB of data ingress per day, while maintaining best-in-class ingest, search, and detection SLAs, as well as a best-in-class cost structure. The team owns the regional control plane layer, as well as account provisioning systems and region-level integrations with the rest of the Falcon platform. This is a critical role in the organization, responsible for driving the engineering team as they build towards a zero-towouch, highly refined, self-service model in this space.

What You'll Do

•  Uphold operational excellence for the global- and region-level serverless platform systems. Be a champion of secure, high-quality engineering, and drive teams towards architectures that strike right balance between availability, scalability, and cost;

• Lead by example on customer and product focus;

• Move our serverless platform mission forward: independently balance constraints around distributed system engineering, end-to-end system resilience, and HW utilisation.

• CrowdStrike is growing and you will be instrumental in the hiring, retention, mentorship, and growth of our world class engineering teams;

• Your impact is not bounded and you will be enabled to engage and collaborate with various teams and ensure our platform’s success. You will work cross functionally with your peers in the product engineering organization, the platform engineering organisation, as well as with field leaders in sales, customer success, and support;

• Our systems and customers are operating globally and 24/7 so you must bring your excellent verbal and written communication skills to bear when you are working with teams across the globe. You’ll also travel a few times every year to meet with your teams and peers. 

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of experience architecting, designing, and developing distributed system platform software products/releases, preferably in a hyper-scale cloud environment, across all phases of the development lifecycle;

• 3+ years of experience managing teams of 6+ individual contributors reporting to you and delivering multiple major milestones of products. Demonstrated track record of building strong engineering teams;

• Successful track record of scaling up large SaaS-type offerings (e.g., to >500k CPU cores).

• Demonstrated track record of operational excellence when operating services that span many components across several geographical regions;

• Shown capability to solve complex scenarios of integrating multiple systems and services that are operating 24/7.

• Proven understanding of the tools used to optimise large SaaS platforms that are subjected to multiple constraints, e.g., statistical methods or monte carlo analysis.

• History of positive impact on customer experience and business results;

• Experience working with remote teams across geographies and cultures;

• Ability to communicate and articulate crisply at all levels from executive staff to individual contributors.

Bonus Points

• Successful track record of scaling up large SaaS-type offerings to >1M CPU cores while increasing resilience and reducing unit costs.

• Solid grounding in the technology of at least one cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP);

• Experience with hybrid cloud environments;

• Exposure to/experience with cybersecurity and intelligence;

• Machine learning and data science familiarity and hands-on experience.
