About the Role:

CrowdStrike is looking for a Senior-to-Principal (Level 7) Technical Contributor whose experience, skills and interests exist at the intersection of hands-on distributed services development in a modern backend language (Java, Scala, Golang, Node.js) and advocacy + evangelism on behalf of the customers and partners who want to extend their use of the Falcon Platform. Success in this role will require that you learn the Falcon API portfolio as well as our Falcon Fusion and Foundry platforms, acting as Falcon developer advocate by helping our customers and partners to be successful in their application of our APIs, Foundry and Fusion to their unique security challenges.

Fusion – a core ‘tier one’ workflow (SOAR) offering in our Flagship Platform, Falcon – is used by customers to automate 80% of breach remediation actions with the Falcon Platform and is the automation core of our NGSIEM offering.

Foundry, our low-code/no-code Security Application Platform, offers customers the ability to extend their use of the Falcon Platform by building custom apps to solve the unique cybersecurity challenges and stop adversaries.

The Falcon APIs provide programmatic access to the Falcon platform, thereby further enhancing the value customers derive from the Falcon modules they have licensed.

We're looking for smart people who want to be challenged and take ownership of building and contributing to the Falcon developer community. Preferential consideration will be earned by candidates who have a standing interest (and any demonstrable experience) in publishing or presenting technical content on behalf of their product(s), and who are interested in continuing to advocate in such fashion for the customization and extension of Crowdstrike's Falcon Platform.

What You'll Do:

• Work across product groups to build your network and facilitate PG collaboration across a large number of Falcon platform modules

• Work with engineering, solution architects and business stakeholders to create a vision and plan of action for building the Falcon Developer Relations community
