About the Role:

CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and blocks malicious activity.

The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

This is a Senior Software Development Engineer II (SDE) role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on Windows. This is a leadership role, where contributing to the technical strategy and vision of the product is expected.  You will be expected to own the design and development of core features. Your deliverables will crosscut all core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking.
