Since our inception, our market leading cloud-native platform has offered unparalleled protection against the most sophisticated cyberattacks. We’re looking for people with limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to the customer to join us in shaping the future of cybersecurity. Consistently recognized as a top workplace, CrowdStrike is committed to cultivating an inclusive, remote-first culture that offers people the autonomy and flexibility to balance the needs of work and life while taking their career to the next level. Interested in working for a company that sets the standard and leads with integrity? Join us on a mission that matters - one team, one fight.
About the Role:
CrowdStrike is hiring a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join the Mobile Team working on CrowdStrike Falcon for iOS, one of CrowdStrike's sensors that provides Mobile Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR). At CrowdStrike, SDETs work together with Software Development Engineers in a combined team, they are inquisitive individuals who enjoy the challenge of trying to discover product flaws and create a high-quality offering for our customers.
SDETs use their strong Software Development and problem-solving skills to build effective tools, harnesses, and specialized tests to ensure the product quality is exceptional. SDETs build CI / CD pipelines to harness the power of automation and are evangelists of tools that assess the quality of code statically and dynamically. SDETs also participate actively in design and code reviews, and collaborate with the backend and sensor teams to assure end-to-end system functionality.
About You:
We are looking for somebody who is keen to develop the testing strategy for the new features coming to Falcon for iOS and use their experience to maintain and develop the existing test infrastructure and direct its future improvements. We look for somebody with hands-on SDET experience that majors in unit / integration / end-to-end test development, debugging and CI / CD pipeline creation.
The Falcon codebase is high-quality Swift code mixed with some mid to low-level technologies such as TCP/IP, DNS, ARM assembly, etc. which means the ideal candidate would relish the challenge of understanding something complex and apply their intuition to think laterally, develop suitable tests and discover flaws.
Ideally the candidate would have hands-on experience with Xcode, XCTest, Instruments and a CI/CD technology. However, we would encourage experienced SDETs without platform specific tooling / knowledge to consider the position if they have the inclination to quickly up-skill and would see themselves as a good fit with other aspects of the job description.
This is a remote-friendly position. Even if you decide to work in one of our offices, we are located across the globe. We therefore expect you to be comfortable working in distributed teams, and to have excellent communication skills.
About the Product:
CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product.
One component is a “sensor”, installed on client devices that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint, and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and blocks malicious activity.
The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.
What You'll Do:
- Maintenance and improvements of the mobile sensor testing strategy, developing unit tests, UI tests, and end-to-end tests
- Maintenance and improvements of the mobile sensor CI/CD pipeline
- Build useful tools and frameworks for effective test development; the goal is to minimize manual testing and allow the team to write automated tests
- Develop metrics and monitoring tools to assess the health of the product, and remediate issues when necessary
- Improving the overall testing strategy for the mobile sensor to increase robustness and coverage
- Identify and write specialized tests to assess performance, scalability, and limits of the mobile sensor
- Debug issues found through test or customer feedback to identify the root cause and use this knowledge to further improve tests
- Work with product and release management to control risk, improve quality, and streamline our release cycles
- Rigorous product and test code reviews with a focus on improving the security and robustness of the mobile sensor
What You'll Need:
Experience in:
- Developing tests for iOS applications
- Debugging issues using real mobile devices
- Developing custom test frameworks and tools
- Writing high-quality code
Knowledge of:
- Swift
- Xcode and command line tools
- CI/CD pipelines and tools such as Jenkins
- Version control with Git and Bitbucket or similar
- Development and branching strategies
- Fundamental computer science concepts (e.g., data structures, algorithms, and software design)
Ability to:
- Write and automate test cases
- Triage bugs and write actionable bug reports
- Define and implement test strategies for new features
- Read code with a focus on its robustness and security (or lack thereof)
Teamwork:
- Collaboration: ability to work with colleagues in a variety of roles (including engineering, program and product management)
- Communication: Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively at all levels (both technical and non-technical)
- Experience working on a team to ship major features and releases
Remote:
- Experience working in remote and distributed environments
Bonus Points:
- Knowledge of Objective-C, Rust
- Experience with automated on-device testing
- Experience developing automated UI tests
- Experience in advanced testing scenarios such as power testing, performance testing, stress testing etc
