CrowdStrike is a global leader in cybersecurity, committed to stopping breaches with its advanced AI-native platform. The Sr. Product Security Engineer will serve as a network security subject matter expert, focusing on identifying security gaps and architecting secure network solutions across CrowdStrike's products and platform.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of CrowdStrike's hybrid networks spanning public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and physical data centers, continuously assessing attack surface and identifying security gaps
- Design and architect new network connection patterns and zone segmentation strategies that reduce risk while enabling product scalability
- Build scalable monitoring, alerting, and automation solutions targeting network security risks across a fast-moving, dynamic environment
- Lead threat modeling efforts focused on network architecture, data flows, and connectivity patterns across platform services
- Evaluate current threat landscape and business priorities to effectively sequence and drive the highest-impact security improvements
- Lead complex, cross-team security initiatives with broad impact across the product group
- Contribute to medium-term strategic direction for network security; proactively identify areas of greatest need and develop actionable plans to address them
- Provide architectural and design expertise that accounts for the broader platform picture, not just point-in-time solutions
- Serve as an internal authority on network security architecture within CrowdStrike's product organization
- Volunteer for and lead working groups and initiatives that have impact at the Product team level or broader industry level
- Partner closely with product engineering, infrastructure, and platform teams to understand scaling requirements and translate them into secure-by-design network architectures
- Work across organizational boundaries to facilitate alignment on security requirements, driving consensus on complex and ambiguous problems
- Clearly communicate decisions and architectural direction to both technical and non-technical stakeholders once alignment is reached
- Serve as a role model for security culture and best practices within your functional area
- Multiply the effectiveness of the broader team by facilitating cross-team knowledge sharing and collaboration
- Guide and develop technical talent through coaching, code reviews, and architectural deep-dives
- Contribute to the growth of the security organization by mentoring team members and helping refine technical interviewing standards
Requirements:
- Deep networking expertise across hybrid environments — public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and physical data center networking — including routing, segmentation, zone design, and traffic inspection architectures
- Strong protocol knowledge including TCP/IP, HTTP/S, DNS, TLS, and applied cryptography
- Solid experience identifying network security gaps and designing scalable, secure connection patterns in SaaS or cloud-native product environments
- Experience building scalable monitoring, alerting, and automation solutions for network security use cases
- Scripting and automation capabilities in Python, Go, shell, or equivalent languages
- Experience working with teams that engineer and bring products to market in fast-paced, forward-looking environments
- Understanding of security architecture principles across the SDLC
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently on ambiguous, poorly-understood problems and drive them to resolution
- Excellent communication skills — able to lead technical debates, build consensus, and clearly articulate complex security concepts to varied audiences
- A combination of confidence, independence, clear thinking, and a collaborative mindset
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent field
- Experience with IaaS/PaaS networking constructs (VPCs, transit gateways, private endpoints, service meshes, etc.)
- Familiarity with Zero Trust network architecture principles and implementation patterns
- Experience with CI/CD pipeline security and operational systems
- Understanding of compliance requirements and evidence collection in a regulated SaaS environment
- Prior experience in a formal mentorship or technical leadership capacity
