CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company founded in 2011 that provides cloud-native security through its Falcon platform. The platform delivers unified protection across endpoints, cloud workloads, identity, and data, processing nearly 3 trillion security events daily. The company employs thousands of people across a distributed, remote-first workforce worldwide.
The Falcon platform sits at the centre of CrowdStrike's product offering - a single cloud-native architecture designed to consolidate security coverage rather than layer disparate tools. Its technical scope spans endpoint security, cloud workload protection, identity security, and data protection, with threat detection and event processing at significant scale underpinning each capability.
Engineering work at CrowdStrike operates across several demanding domains:
- Large-scale distributed systems and real-time event processing (near 3 trillion events per day)
- Cloud-native platform architecture and infrastructure
- Endpoint detection and response
- Identity and data security
- Threat intelligence and adversary analysis
The company describes itself as remote-first, with autonomy and flexibility built into how teams operate. CrowdStrike refers to its employees as CrowdStrikers and frames its stated values around customer focus, innovation, and individual potential. Engineers work on problems at the intersection of scale, speed, and precision - core to how the company approaches cyber defence.
