About the Role:Help us protect CrowdStrike and its customers from the most advanced threats by assessing, designing, and implementing security controls and systems associated with all aspects of the software supply chain. CrowdStrike's Product Security team breaks the mold of traditional internal security, and focuses on active threats to CrowdStrike's products.
As a Security Engineer II, you will focus on securing our open-source footprint and upstream dependencies. You will perform technical security assessments of GitHub organizations and open-source integrations, monitor for emerging vulnerabilities and malicious packages, create tooling for known gaps, and deploy security/monitoring systems. Additionally, you will collaborate on cross-cutting projects to further harden internal and public-facing source code repositories against active and emerging threats.
What You'll Do:- Assess risk and provide security guidance to engineers across the company on open-source software usage and repository configurations.
- Design, implement, and maintain tools and processes to secure public and private GitHub organizations, including repository guardrails and secret scanning.
- Harden open-source code usage, development, ingestion, and distribution across the enterprise.
- Investigate open-source dependencies and third-party packages to mitigate supply chain risks (e.g., typosquatting, dependency confusion).
- Advocate for secure coding and open-source compliance practices to the wider engineering organization.
- Contribute to the delivery of security initiatives aimed at hardening CrowdStrike's software supply chain and code-hosting environments.
What You'll Need:- Experience working in an engineering role implementing, supporting, and monitoring software security systems.
- Strong working experience with GitHub, including repository administration, GitHub Actions, branch protection rules, and access management.
- Experience identifying and mitigating open-source vulnerability risks (SCA, dependency management, licensing risks).
- Experience working with and securing configurations of Linux and/or other Unix-like variants.
- Proficiency in one or more common scripting languages, such as Python, Golang, Shell, or JavaScript, to automate security checks.
- Domain knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), secure coding practices, code reviews, and source control security.
- Collaborative mindset with experience contributing to cross-team security projects and initiatives.
- Familiarity with code signing operations, public/private key infrastructure (PKI), and verifying artifact integrity.
- Experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, or automate vulnerability triage.
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Bonus Points:- Experience with common monitoring or log aggregation tools such as LogScale, Splunk, DataDog, Prometheus, etc.
- Familiarity with other source control management tools (e.g., BitBucket) or artifact storage tools like Artifactory and S3.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and associated tools (Jenkins, Argo CD) from an integration and ingestion perspective.
- Experience working in and securing configurations of large-scale cloud platforms.
- Self-motivated to identify security problems and engage with development teams to find pragmatic solutions.
