About the Role

CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor," a lightweight agent installed on client machines that observes system activity, recognizes malicious behavior, and provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents customers' operations teams with a prioritized summary of threats detected in their environments.

This is a Software Development Engineer (SDE) role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on Windows/Linux/Mac OS X. SDEs in the team own the design and development of features for the products in the Exposure Management product group. Features may cross-cut core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking. Many features are also built with shared components across Windows, Mac, and Linux. The team operates under Agile development principles and ships frequently.
