About the Role:

We’re looking for a Cloud Software Engineer to join our growing Product team. You’ll work closely with UI developers and multi-platform endpoint developers to build world class cybersecurity features, workflows, and solutions for the Falcon Platform. The Product development team is involved with the entire development organization and you’ll collaborate with many teams across the company. You’ll be building highly available services and systems, implemented primarily in Go (Golang), which scale cleanly and reliably to provide high-throughput APIs and data stream message processing. You’ll be deploying your quality code to production frequently to the delight of our customers.

We’re a remote-first workplace and leverage team productivity tools like Slack, Zoom, and Confluence for day-to-day communication. Occasionally, travel for face-to-face meetings is the most effective way to collaborate when working on larger initiatives.
