Front-End Engineering Manager - Ecommerce
About the Role:
We're looking for a Front-End Engineering Manager to join a new team and initiative at CrowdStrike to focus on Ecommerce. We'll be covering areas like the CrowdStrike App Store and ecosystem, product and service monetization (in-app purchasing/micro-transactions/etc), creative new ways to approach Licensing, Billing and Entitlement across the entire product portfolio, and all the backend analytics work to drive a better user experience and optimize engagement, conversion, cross-sell and up-sell. We'll also be spearheading the creation of new CrowdStrike offerings that are built on the existing world-class Falcon platform but target a completely Ecommerce driven, low-touch, high engagement product experience.
We are looking for a technical lead and engineering manager with experience leading a UI engineering team and mentoring front-end engineers. For technical background, our stack is Ember, but if you've led a team using frameworks like React or Angular, you're the kind of person we're looking for and we'll help get you up to speed. As we support only evergreen browsers, we can push the boundaries of what’s possible on the web as a platform, on top of a system that strips any hyperbole from the term “big data”. In close collaboration with analysts & clients you’ll get to see the apps & visualizations you’re building used every day to hunt for hackers and protect systems.
