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. The role will be responsible for platform features that are built that will have shared components across Linux and Mac. The team operates under the Agile development principles and ships frequently.

  • Provide partnership on the sensor development team involved in architecture, strategy, in building and improving next-generation Anti-Virus and Enhanced Detection and Response Security Software.

  • Own the success of features from design to delivery including participation in product demo at the end of the sprint.

  • Develop new product concepts.

  • Support development teams in designing and building software with cross-platform deliverables (Windows, Mac, Linux).

  • Collaborate with multi-functional teams in various locations


  • What You’ll Need:
  • In depth knowledge with C++ and Windows OS Kernel and Driver Development

  • Lead, mentor, communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team

  • Knowledge in Software Security.


  • Bonus Points:
