CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company founded in 2011 that stops breaches through its cloud-native Falcon platform. The platform delivers unified protection across endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, covering the areas of enterprise risk that matter most to large organisations. Its engineering teams work on some of the field's harder problems, including threat detection and response and event processing at scale.
The scale of the operation is substantial. The Falcon platform processes nearly 3 trillion events daily, and the company employs thousands of people worldwide. It has been remote-first since its founding by a trio of entrepreneurs, and views autonomy and flexibility as structural features of how it works rather than as benefits. Employees are known internally as CrowdStrikers.
CrowdStrike operates globally, with a distributed workforce spanning the world. Technical domains covered by its teams include cloud-native platform engineering, endpoint security, cloud workload protection, identity security, data security and big data. The stated culture places a premium on customer focus and continuous innovation, and holds that speed, precision and scale reinforce one another rather than compete. Engineers' work is understood as protecting the digital infrastructure on which society depends.
