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. 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.\nAbout the Role\nCrowdStrike is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead the SGNL backend engineering team within our Continuous Identity product group. SGNL forms a core part of CrowdStrike's Continuous Identity control plane, providing real-time identity security that discovers, protects, and continuously verifies human, non-human, and AI identities across hybrid, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments. Legacy identity tools built for predictable users and workloads fall short for modern AI agents that reason and act autonomously, where implicit trust and standing access create dangerous open attack paths. By enforcing Zero Standing Privileges, SGNL replaces static, broad permissions with just-in-time (JIT) access and continuous authorization that dynamically grants, adjusts, or revokes privileges based on live business and security context.\nFurthermore, SGNL powers real-time Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) by translating threat signals directly into immediate enforcement actions-such as step-up authentication, session revocation, and blocking lateral movement. In this role, you will build and scale high-throughput pipelines that unify security around identity across endpoints, SaaS platforms, browsers, and cloud resources, processing millions of events per second to stop identity-based attacks.\nThis is a player-coach role. Your primary focus is leading and growing your team, but you will also contribute code, prototype solutions, and stay embedded in the technical work when needed. You'll lead at the intersection of people leadership and technical excellence, building high-performing teams and systems that protect organizations from identity based attacks.\nPlease Note: This role is hybrid, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site at one of the posted locations.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nLead a high-performing engineering team delivering with high velocity, quality, security, and reliability.\nArchitect scalable, low-latency continuous identity evaluation and enforcement systems.\nEnsure operational excellence, high service availability, and quick incident resolution for critical identity services.\nFoster a collaborative culture of ownership, continuous learning, and technical excellence.\nPartner across product management, infrastructure, and engineering teams to align and deliver business goals.\nAttract, mentor, and retain top engineering talent.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead, mentor, and hire a high-performing backend engineering team; manage capacity, performance, and career development.\nDrive day-to-day technical execution, unblock your team, and maintain alignment with broader product goals while directly guiding hands-on engineering efforts.\nDrive architectural decisions for low-latency, scalable distributed systems while spending ~20-30% of your time prototyping, coding, and unblocking the team.\nLead architecture and design reviews to ensure robust, scalable, and maintainable systems.\nEstablish engineering best practices (CI/CD, code reviews, testing) and manage service reliability, SLOs, and incident response.\nTrack key engineering metrics to foster continuous improvement and team performance.\nDrive cross-functional planning and roadmapping in close alignment with business goals and product strategy.\nPartner with product management and peer engineering teams (Falcon Identity Protection, Next-Gen SIEM, Privileged Access) to align on delivery and broader ecosystem integration.\nWhat You'll Need\n10+ years software development experience with 2+ years leading backend cloud engineering teams\nHands-on coding ability (Go, Python, or Java; Go preferred)\nProven success building and scaling cloud-native microservices and distributed systems\nFamiliarity with REST/gRPC, databases, K8s, and event streaming (Kafka)\nExperience operating production services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, OCI, Azure) including on-call/incident response\nStrong people leadership, hiring, mentoring, and Agile/Scrum delivery management skills\nProven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.\nBonus Points\nBackground in cybersecurity, Zero Trust, ITDR, PAM, identity protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) or identity-based threat mitigations\nExperience with Shared Signals Framework (CAEP/RISC) or non-human/machine identities\nFamiliarity with graph databases(Neo4j), stream processing (Kafka/Flink), or ML-based behavioral analytics\nTrack record of building engineering teams/culture and leading major system migrations/integrations\n#LI-AP1\nBenefits of Working at CrowdStrike:\nMarket leader in compensation and equity awards\n\nComprehensive physical and mental wellness programs\n\nCompetitive vacation and holidays for recharge\n\nPaid parental and adoption leaves\n\nProfessional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role\n\nEmployee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections\n\nVibrant office culture with world class amenities\n\nGreat Place to Work Certified™ across the globe\n\nCrowdStrike is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
