About the Role:
At CrowdStrike, we stop breaches. We’re here to protect data, systems, technology – and, most importantly, the people they serve. Our cloud-based security is the first line of defense for the data we safeguard, and we are proud of that. Because we know how important our software is, we work fiercely to make sure that what we create works for everyone who needs it, every time.
We believe in one team, one fight, and our everyday work reflects that – our teams respect every member, and the people we work with care about the product and each other. We also understand that life is just as important as work, and treat time off and flexibility accordingly. We trust you to get the job done without having someone looking over your shoulder.
