Company-specific questions
- Conflict of Interest If hired, do you expect that you will engage in any outside employment, consulting, freelance or advisory work, board service, trade or industry group, teaching role, personally owned business, financial interest, or other outside professional or business activity that could reasonably conflict with CrowdStrike’s business or interfere with the responsibilities of the position for which you are applying (excluding non-competing personal hobbies, passive investments, or uncompensated civic activities that do not impact your work)? This may include an activity or interest that overlaps with your role or expected duties at CrowdStrike; overlaps with CrowdStrike’s business or offerings; creates a significant competing time or loyalty commitment; or could involve CrowdStrike confidential information, resources, or business opportunities. You do not need to disclose an activity that will end before your start date and will leave no continuing interest, obligation, or restriction relevant to cybersecurity or your work at CrowdStrike. A “Yes” response will not automatically disqualify you from consideration. It will allow CrowdStrike to determine whether a potential conflict exists and, if so, whether it can be avoided or appropriately managed. This question applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- Acknowledgment As an AI-native company, CrowdStrike embraces the thoughtful use of AI tools in our work. During our interview process, some assessments may expressly permit the use of AI and other tools — we will make this clear upfront when that is the case. I acknowledge that unless explicitly told otherwise by my interviewer(s), I will complete all interviews and assessments through my own independent work, without assistance from generative AI, automated tools, or other external resources. Where AI use is permitted, I understand that my interviewer(s) will specify which tools are authorized and how they may be used. I understand that using unauthorized tools or resources during any stage of the interview process may result in my disqualification from consideration.

About the Role
Are you an SDET who wants to define how AI agents are tested, evaluated and trusted in production?
The CrowdStrike Detonations and Threat Analysis Platform Engineering team is hiring a hands-on Software Development Engineer in Test. You'll build and maintain the functional, integration and performance automation that keeps our large-scale, cloud-based cybersecurity platform reliable. You'll also help shape how we test AI.
Our core testing frameworks include agentic test generation and analysis, and we use eval-driven development (EDD) to validate the AI agents we build.
What You’ll Do
- Design, develop and maintain automated test suites and frameworks for distributed, cloud-based systems
- Maintain and extend the agentic test generation and analysis tooling built into our major testing frameworks
- Build AI-powered workflows and agent skill files that automate manual test toil, such as test data setup, failure triage and release validation
- Maintain eval suites, golden datasets and scoring pipelines for our AI agents, scoring correctness, tool use, trajectory, faithfulness, safety, latency and cost
- Enforce CI eval gates so that every change to prompts, models, tools or orchestration is measured before release, and feed production failures back into the eval sets
- Detect and mitigate unreliable AI output, including hallucinated assertions, flaky or redundant tests, incorrect failure triage and judge bias
- Design, run and analyze performance, load and stress tests to find bottlenecks and validate scalability across distributed services
- Validate the integration of platform systems, services, data and applications, as well as customer-facing features end-to-end
- Review product, system and agent designs for testability, evaluability, flaws and improvements
- Share knowledge and contribute to the team's quality and evaluation standards
What You’ll Use:
- Languages : Java, Node.js, Python, Go
- Data & Messaging : MongoDB, MinIO, RabbitMQ, Kafka
- Cloud & Infrastructure : AWS (EC2, S3, DynamoDB), Docker, Nomad, Terraform, Unix/Linux
- CI/CD & Tooling : Git, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Jira, Bitbucket
- Performance Testing : Locust, k6
- AI/Agentic & Evals : LLM APIs, agent frameworks and LLM eval tooling
What You’ll Need:
- Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience (OOP, data structures, algorithms, distributed systems)
- 5+ years in software quality, including 3+ years of hands-on SDET or test automation development
- Strong programming skills in at least one of Java, Node.js or Python, with Python preferred for eval and agent work
- Proven experience designing, building and maintaining test frameworks integrated with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD)
- Experience testing web services and APIs (REST, gRPC, JSON)
- Hands-on experience with performance and load testing using tools such as Locust or k6, including designing realistic workloads and interpreting results (latency percentiles, throughput, error rates)
- A skeptical, verification-first mindset toward AI output, with a clear sense of when to use deterministic assertions and when to use probabilistic evaluation
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Bonus Points:
- End-to-end eval-driven development experience, including release gating, trajectory and tool-use evals, and calibrating LLM-as-judge against human review
- Prompt engineering and context or tool design for agents
- Integrating performance tests into CI/CD and using observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch)
- Background in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, malware analysis or sandboxing/detonation environments
