Job Description
SDET building automated tests, evals, and performance frameworks for CrowdStrike’s AI-native cybersecurity platform. Improving reliability of distributed cloud services and agentic workflows.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop and maintain automated test suites and frameworks for distributed, cloud-based systems
- Maintain and extend agentic test generation and analysis tooling built into major testing frameworks
- Build AI-powered workflows and agent skill files to automate manual test toil, including test data setup, failure triage and release validation
- Maintain eval suites, golden datasets and scoring pipelines for AI agents, scoring correctness, tool use, trajectory, faithfulness, safety, latency and cost
- Enforce CI eval gates so changes to prompts, models, tools or orchestration are measured before release
- Feed production failures back into evaluation 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 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
Requirements:
- 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
- Expected to maintain legal entitlement to work in Canada
- Subject to background checks, including criminal record, credit, and/or reference checks
- Bonus: End-to-end eval-driven development experience, including release gating, trajectory and tool-use evals, and calibrating LLM-as-judge against human review
- Bonus: Prompt engineering and context or tool design for agents
- Bonus: Integrating performance tests into CI/CD and using observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch)
- Bonus: Background in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, malware analysis or sandboxing/detonation environments
Benefits:
- Market leader in compensation and equity awards
- Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
- Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
- Paid parental and adoption leaves
- Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
- Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
