We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. 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

We're building the next generation technologies that will power CrowdStrike for the next ten years — and we need a leader who can help us build the team that builds them. As Senior Manager of Cloud Engineering, you'll join a fast-moving, early-stage team taking a blank-slate approach to scaling our systems and using AI to stop breaches.

This is not a purely people management role. You'll be deeply embedded in the technical work — leading code reviews, driving architecture discussions and owning operational readiness — while simultaneously expanding and developing a growing engineering team.

Note: This is a hybrid role based out of our offices in Redmond, WA, Sunnyvale, CA, Austin, TX, or NYC with an expectation of being in the office at least 2 days per week.

What You'll Do

• Step into an early-stage team that is partly in place and help shape, grow and scale
• Lead code reviews, architecture discussions and operational readiness reviews
• Define and drive the technical direction for significant components of our next-generation cloud architecture, collaborating with our most senior technologists
• Partner closely with desktop agent and AI teams
• Own and deliver large-scale, cross-functional engineering projects — from technical and architecture planning through to execution and accountability
• Champion continuous improvement through design reviews, post-mortems and engineering best practices
• Hire, develop and retain exceptional engineers
• Foster a culture that mirrors the best engineering traits: comfort with ambiguity, propensity to action and strong cross-team collaboration

What You'll Need

• B.S. degree in Computer Science or related field
• 5+ years of experience managing engineers, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams
• Hands-on experience building and operating high-volume, highly resilient Tier-1 cloud services and systems
• Strong knowledge of Go, Java or similar technologies
• Demonstrated ability to own and deliver large, complex engineering projects across multiple teams and stakeholders
• Proven ability to operate with ambiguity and make sound technical decisions with limited information
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for what your team builds and ships
• Experience driving technical decisions and alignment across groups with competing priorities
• Ability to communicate complex technical ideas in writing and verbally

Bonus Points

• Experience managing machine learning (ML) or data engineering teams
• Experience scaling and developing an early-stage engineering team, building on an existing foundation rather than starting from zero
