About the Role:

The CrowdStrike UI Release Engineering & Observability (UIREO) team is responsible for the smooth release process and post-release support of large, distributed, feature-rich UI applications, building tooling and processes to help with that as well lead the UI observability efforts. We currently support over 250 UI engineers who build and maintain our internal and external software products. These products are leveraged by our customers 24/7 to protect their systems from the world's most sophisticated cybersecurity adversaries.

UIREO provides the systems and tooling that enables UI engineers to build, test, deploy, and activate features in our applications, including:

• Tools and processes for dealing with errors or incidents.
• Tools for troubleshooting and debugging production systems.
• Monitoring and maintaining speed and stability of changes through CI pipelines.
• Enabling UI engineering teams to provide sufficient automated test coverage.
• Enabling UI engineering teams to understand platform and device behaviour.
• Providing the tools to curate, collate, and visualise application quality and performance.
• Facilitating cross-team collaboration during development - e.g. code dependencies and shared libraries.
• Easing of deployment, activation, rollback, and deactivation of features.
• Measuring release cadence and effectiveness using common metrics across the platform portfolio and identifying opportunities for greater efficiency.
• Documentation and training for all the above.

As a member of the UIREO team, you will be part of a culture that promotes a "safe space" for your continued career growth:

• We believe that a highly diverse team can solve the most challenging problems, and therefore encourage individuals to bring their whole selves to work - interests, backgrounds, demographics, joys and concerns.
• We promote and model healthy habits for work/life balance, and fully leverage paid leave judgment-free.
• We aren't afraid to have difficult conversations through a lens of understanding, and we work across teams to find solutions that are the best fit for our organization.
• We encourage our team to continuously learn and grow, through formal training and peer mentorship.
• We support each other when we struggle, we lift each other up when we win.

• Display the ability to collaborate, while still driving a release process end to end
• Establish consistent release management processes and cadence
• Facilitate cross-department coordination of release management functions
