We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.


About the Role:
CrowdStrike at its core is a platform company and the endpoint protection platform organization is responsible for sensor, cloud, UI technologies and a UX design language. Everything we build is designed to infinitely scale, the endpoint protection platform is responsible for ingesting and processing in near real-time over 1 trillion customer security events daily, in multiple cloud regions across the globe.

Our Endpoint Protection Platform is used internally by Product Groups to build their security products but we also release products direct to customers such as: Falcon Fusion, ThreatGraph, FDR and APIs. Over time we intend to release more of our endpoint protection platform to partners and customers to ultimately deliver an App Platform where third-party security products are running completely on the CrowdStrike endpoint protection platform.

As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, our endpoint protection platform must stay ahead of the most sophisticated adversaries — integrating AI-native capabilities and extending our industry-leading endpoint protection across the full extended detection and response (XDR) ecosystem. This role sits at the center of that evolution, owning the endpoint protection platform product vision at the most senior level and serving as a key executive voice in shaping CrowdStrike's long-term product strategy.

So if you're ready to work on unrivaled technology where your desire to be part of a collaborative team is met with a laser-focused mission to stop breaches and protect people globally, let's talk.
