Engineering Manager

Description:

You will be leading two teams, the CMS team and the Reports team, which are both in the UI Framework Engineering org.

The CMS Team builds and maintains our systems for delivering content to our console product - both the existing console, plus our nextgen console. This is primarily product documentation and localised content. You will be liaising with our internal stakeholders - mainly our technical writers - as well as engaging with end-user customers for research and feedback purposes.

The Reports Team is building and owns the exciting and high profile reports module within our next gen console. This module allows the WYSIWYG authoring of security and analyst reports, integrating custom content and assets with dynamic widgets from our console, in a custom-built web-based DTP application.

The teams are within UI Framework Engineering, which is at the heart of the architecture and build of the front end systems powering our platforms. At CrowdStrike, we believe all our Engineering Managers should have a strong coding background. You should be comfortable reviewing code, and you will be expected to understand and contribute to architectural discussions.
