About the Role:
The collection, processing, and exploration of information at a large scale is at the core of the Intelligence mission at CrowdStrike. The Intelligence Automation team is responsible for prototyping, building and operating the systems that make up our Intelligence pipeline, and we'd like you to join us!
You will use languages such as Go and Python to build flexible data integration and processing systems in a fast-paced Intelligence environment. In this environment, requirements sometimes shift rapidly, and projects can live anything from weeks to years depending on changes in the surrounding ecosystem. You will be responsible for all aspects of the software you design, from documentation to deployment to production, and will interact regularly with your internal customers to gather requirements, solicit feedback and validate your results. We are agnostic when it comes to technology stacks, and you will be free to pick the technologies that best fit the requirements at any given time, based on your previous exposure to a wide variety of programming languages and databases.
As a remote employee on a team distributed across various time zones, you will not have direct access to all of your co-workers for the entire workday, so the ability to work unsupervised, communicate asynchronously, and take the initiative in maintaining lines of communication is important. In addition, we are looking for someone who would like to be part of a team who are passionate about their work and go the extra mile to exceed expectations. We love enthusiastic individuals who bring a positive attitude to their work and really care about what they produce for our internal customers.
