Compensation

Full Description

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: You will own the quality and release lifecycle for infrastructure changes across data centers and public cloud environments. Your mandate: design a predictable release train, implement quality gates and automated validation, coordinate stakeholders (I&O, SRE/NOC, Security, Networking, Platform), and deliver safe, auditable changes with crisp communication and measurable outcomes. What You’ll Do: Release management & governance Define the enterprise I&O release calendar, maintenance/blackout windows, and cutover playbooks. Support our pragmatic CAB/ECAB with risk‑based approvals and stop‑the‑line authority. Classify and streamline change types (standard/normal/emergency) with clear SLAs and readiness criteria. Quality engineering for infrastructure Establish quality gates: peer review, linting, security/policy checks, dependency/impact analysis, and rehearsed rollbacks. Drive and build pre‑ and post‑change automated validation (synthetics, health probes, config drift checks, capacity and error budgets). Standardize canary/blue‑green/ringed rollouts for infrastructure components and configurations. Automation & CI/CD Integrate infrastructure changes into pipelines (build, test, promote, release) with approvals, audit trails, and artifact versioning. Promote policy‑as‑code, secrets hygiene, and tamper‑evident change packages; champion “Everything as Code.” Change execution & readiness Orchestrate rehearsals in lower environments; verify go/no‑go criteria, back-out plans, and owner sign‑offs. Ensure observability (dashboards, logs, traces, synthetics) is in place before and after releases; tie checks to SLOs/SLIs. Risk, audit & compliance Map release controls to frameworks (e.g., SOC 2/ISO 27001); automate evidence collection (approvals, test results, diffs, timestamps). Maintain change records, CMDB/CIs linkage, and separation of duties. Communication & leadership Publish release notes, stakeholder briefings, and customer communications (internal/external status pages). Facilitate blameless post‑release reviews; drive preventative engineering and standards. What You’ll Need: 8+ years in enterprise Infrastructure & Operations, with 3–5+ years leading QA and Release for infra/platform changes. Demonstrated success institutionalizing: A repeatable release train with measurable reliability. Automated validation and policy‑as‑code in CI/CD. Risk‑based CAB/ECAB and evidence‑driven compliance. Strong command of ITIL v4 change principles adapted for modern, code‑driven infrastructure. Hands‑on literacy with source control, pipeline tooling, configuration/infrastructure testing, observability, and incident management. Exceptional stakeholder management and concise, executive‑ready communication. A data‑driven mindset; comfortable defining and improving operational KPIs. Bonus Points: Experience coordinating global maintenance windows across regions and time zones. Familiarity with network, compute, storage, container platforms, and managed cloud services (at a release/quality level, not necessarily as a service owner). Exposure to resilience testing/chaos game days, capacity planning, and dependency mapping. Background with CMDB design, service catalogs, and impact analysis. #LI-Remote #LI-JC3 Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike: Remote-friendly and flexible work culture Market leader in compensation and equity awards Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge Paid parental and adoption leaves Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections Vibrant office culture with world class amenities Great Place to Work Certified™ across the globe CrowdStrike is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Expected Close Date of Job Posting is:11-29-2025 CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware. There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
