About the Role:

The Agentless Scanning team at CrowdStrike is expanding our security platform’s capabilities by delivering comprehensive cloud protection that complements our industry-leading agent technology. We’ve evolved from pioneering Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to building a unified agentless platform that combines data security with vulnerability scanning, providing complete visibility across multi-cloud environments.

Our technology scans cloud workloads, identifies vulnerabilities, and secures sensitive data across AWS, Azure, and GCP - extending CrowdStrike’s protection to cover every aspect of your cloud infrastructure. We’re solving some of the most challenging problems in cloud security: how to provide deep visibility and protection at scale across diverse cloud services and configurations.

We’re a team of builders and innovators who thrive on complex technical challenges. If you’re energized by distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and the opportunity to protect thousands of organizations worldwide, we want to hear from you.
