Sr. Manager, Cloud Engineering - CTIO (Hybrid)
About The Position
As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. 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.
