About the Role:

We are CrowdStrike, a fast-growing security company that protects our wide range of customers from cybersecurity attacks. We’re investing in technical project managers who are energetic, eager to learn, flexible, and capable of managing large scale/complex engineering projects in a fast-paced environment.

The ideal candidate:

As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting the Data Science Team, whose mission is to provide malware detection capabilities for our customers through the continuous evolution of machine learning models. Your primary focus will be driving the continuous improvement process for our production feature extraction (FX) engines including performance baselining, measuring and documenting improvements related to each process iteration in addition to scheduling, scoping, execution and coordinating these work increments with appropriate stakeholders. You’ll work directly with data scientists, data engineers, threat analysts and managers on the team as well as other engineers, product, project and program managers across the company including functional teams to collaborate and ensure dependencies are well known, critical issues are identified and driven to resolution.

Responsibilities:

• Measures detection performance improvements related to each production FX engine and compares to established baseline on a recurring basis. The number of production FX engines steadily increases as dozens of experimental FX engines transition to production after demonstrating operational utility.

• Gathers inputs from multiple stakeholders for FX improvement work prioritization in a highly collaborative and empathetic environment.

• Leads FX engine improvement process meetings and creates meeting minutes/action items including decisions about work prioritization.

• Documents and drives projects schedules, tracks and manages task assignments, reports on schedule progress, dependencies and obstacles. Projects range in scale from one person for one week to a dozen people on half a dozen teams, phased over several quarters.

• Ensures critical issues are identified, tracked through resolution, and escalated if necessary.

• Manages daily/weekly project communication and status reporting.

• Demonstrates the ability to discuss tasks with employees in a manner which gives guidance and best practices but does not dictate implementation.

Key Qualifications:

• Experience working in a program/project management capacity and understanding of feedback loops/processes to effectively drive improvement process. Science and engineering are the most obvious fields for candidates to come from, but don’t hesitate to apply if you’re an expert cat-herder from some other problem domain.

• Team player who manages and overcomes (instead of running from) persistent obstacles

• Experience scoping requirements, planning milestones and being an active resource for technical teams.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.

• Must enjoy consensus-driven environments where collaboration, honest and open communications are paramount.

• Must work effectively and professionally with cross-functional groups across divisions, worldwide, as part of a team.

• Must exhibit meticulous attention to detail, and have the ability to make logical timely decisions.

• Must excel with proactively and independently driving for results in small team environments

• Demonstrate self-learning capabilities, taking initiative in a fast pace/quickly changing environment.

Plus (helpful but not required) :

• Experience with Project Lifecycle and Project Management methodologies like Agile, Kanban, Scrum, Scaled Agile.

• Experience with/exposure to data science and/or machine learning.

• Experience with/exposure to cybersecurity domain, in particular the threat landscape of nation-state/criminal actors and their varying methodology of exploitation.
