Job Description
CrowdStrike, Inc.Full time
R18771
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.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to manage the Windows Sensor engineering team within our growing Endpoint Security product group. In this role, you’ll work closely with the team to define and deliver on our product roadmap as well as coordinate and collaborate with other product groups within the company on Windows sensor related architecture, releases, support, and development best practices.
As part of the cross-functional Endpoint Security Product group, you’ll work alongside your team to design, enhance, and build numerous customer facing features within our CrowdStrike Falcon product line including multiple static analysis based detection and prevention capabilities, customer configured behavioral detections (custom IOAs), automated remediation, firewall management, and USB device control.
We’re a remote-first workplace that leverages team productivity tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira for day-to-day communication. Travel for face-to-face meetings is occasionally required and is typically used as an effective way to kick-off new projects or collaborate when working on larger initiatives.
What You'll Do:
If joining CrowdStrike and becoming a key leader on a team that builds the most innovative endpoint security solution in the world sounds appealing, then you can help us by:
Being a strong people manager with an open and collaborative management style
Being adept at working with a distributed and remote engineering team
Helping grow your team by:
Providing technical knowledge, mentoring, and guidance to your direct reports
Hiring and onboarding new team members
Managing staffing across features and projects to encourage individual growth and cross training
Monitoring execution and quality of team projects
Providing thought leadership on Windows sensor related architecture, releases, support, and development best practices by collaborating with other teams across the company
What You'll Need:
3+ years of experience managing and scaling product engineering teams
Experience working with cross-functional teams to ship major features and releases
Computer science degree or commensurate experience developing system software on Windows OS
Knowledge of low-level Windows OS internals including some experience with Windows OS Kernel Development in C/C++
Some relevant experience with debugging memory corruptions, process contentions, and/or system performance
