About the role:

 

CrowdStrike is looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with a passion for performance to join our Windows sensor engineering team. We’re looking for smart people who want to be challenged and take ownership of what they build, working in an environment where quality is the company culture. Come use cutting edge tools and technologies as well as tried and true ones. Work on: measuring and tuning every clock cycle of performance in our sensor product, embedded deeply into the operating systems we protect. Help us build a world class endpoint security product that delivers an efficient, reliable, seamless experience to our customers.

  • Ability to communicate, collaborate, and deliver.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Define and develop performance measurement requirements for Windows sensor agent
  • Benchmark and analyze the performance of the product against our high standards for quality and system impact.
  • Investigate anomalies and identify root causes to performance bottlenecks and recommend resolutions
  • Design and implement performance test infrastructure and test cases to catch and prevent future performance regression.

Key Qualifications:

  • A computer science background or equivalent experience (programming styles, data structures, algorithms, etc.)
  • Demonstrated ability to write high-quality C or C++ code and scripting languages like Python
  • Experience and interest in thinking deeply about the boundary between code under test and the system beneath it: low-level characteristics that lead to memory usage, performance, external standards conformance, etc.

 

Strong SDETS have or will develop proficiency in:

  • Developing reliable, understandable systems for oneself and one’s peers to consume
  • Writing and automating test cases, triaging bugs, and writing actionable bug reports
  • Reading code with a focus on robustness, security, testability, and performance
