Advocate for secure coding and open-source compliance practices to the wider engineering organization.
Contribute to the delivery of security initiatives aimed at hardening CrowdStrike’s software supply chain and code-hosting environments.

Experience working with and securing configurations of Linux and/or other Unix-like variants.
Proficiency in one or more common scripting languages, such as Python, Golang, Shell, or JavaScript, to automate security checks.
Domain knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), secure coding practices, code reviews, and source control security.
Collaborative mindset with experience contributing to cross-team security projects and initiatives.
Experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, or automate vulnerability triage.
Efficient communicator with strong writing skills, comfortable working in a remote environment.
Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
