About the Role:
CrowdStrike’s Sensor and Language Tooling team is part of the Detections Platform group. We provide custom programming languages and tools that other engineers at CrowdStrike use to define system behavior and event flows.
We are adding an additional senior engineer to work on internal compiler tooling written in Python, and detection systems implemented in our domain specific language. In addition to the compiler itself, the team owns a number of common pipeline and runtime features, and team members frequently work in multiple domains and languages.
CrowdStrike is a remote-first organization and you’ll be collaborating with developers in many locations. This role is in western Europe (UK or EU) but the team is spread between US, Europe and Australia. CrowdStrike has engineering employees around the world.
What You’ll Do:Maintain and improve a domain specific language compiler codebase and feature set, written primarily in Python
Design and implement new language and compiler features
Solicit and integrate feedback about design proposals and user needs
Debug cross-platform and integration issues, working closely with other teams to ensure safety and reliability
Design and write integration and end-to-end tests
Balance operating independently with regular user interviews and intra-team coordination
Shape the direction and roadmap of our tools and architecture
What You’ll Need:We are looking for people who:
Show a track record of shipping quality software
Can dive into a complicated code base where changes require careful attention and puzzle solving
Have architectural and design experience building software across many system layers
Show strong technical communication skills, including presenting, software architecture documentation and user feedback solicitation
Are excited to improve performance and user experience
Take responsibility for their work, and see feedback as an opportunity to iterate
Have an interest in compilers and how they work
Understand fundamental computer science concepts
Can communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team
Have significant experience in analysis and implementation of data structures, algorithms, and software design
CrowdStrike is a computer security company, but we do not expect candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to grow into a position consulting on system design decisions and coordinating with other teams across the company.
Bonus Points:Strong Python coding skills
Experience designing and developing compilers and programming languages
Understanding of and facility with software optimization and performance improvements
Experience working with programming language tools or broadly distributed systems
Knowledge or familiarity with current research and trends in systems languages such as Rust or C/C++
Experience with or interest in formal modeling tools such as Agda and TLA+
Solid coding and debugging skills in other languages, especially C, C++ and Swift
Experience with event processing systems or message passing languages
