Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily.
Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward.

Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.
CrowdStrike is seeking an experienced SDET Engineering Manager to lead our quality engineering efforts within the AI Detection and Response (AIDR) team.

You'll set the quality bar not just through strategy and process, but by demonstrating what engineering excellence looks like. While you will grow and mentor your team, you will remain a strong individual contributor who also leads people.
Your team's work spans functional, performance, contract, and chaos/resilience engineering — ensuring that AIDR's services maintain the highest standards of reliability and security as we protect organizations worldwide from sophisticated AI-based threats.
