About the Role

CrowdStrike, founded on the principle that effective computer security requires understanding the goals, tactics, and techniques of determined attackers, is seeking a Full Stack Developer for the Spotlight content team. This team focuses on continuous, near real-time extraction and analysis of security vulnerability information and knowledge from public domain sources, including various vulnerability databases and other locations, for an ever-growing list of operating systems, components, and applications, including zero-day vulnerabilities. The team's objective is to create a world-class, comprehensive vulnerability intelligence database used by the Falcon platform for assessing, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities in customer environments. This role demands a strong focus on analysis, rapid prototyping, research automation, scalability, and the development of required services and APIs.

The Product: Falcon Spotlight

Falcon Spotlight is the industry's first scanless endpoint vulnerability assessment solution, providing real-time, zero-impact assessments of endpoint security posture. It enhances the Falcon platform's unparalleled prevention, detection, and response capabilities, leading to a stronger security posture and unprecedented breach protection.

The Platform: CrowdStrike Falcon

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform consists of two components:

  • Sensor: A lightweight agent installed on client machines that observes system activity, recognizes malicious behavior, provides on-box prevention, and sends remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud.
  • Cloud Component: Aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents operations teams with a prioritized summary of detected threats.

What You’ll Do

  • Engage in engineering efforts ranging from rapid prototypes to developing large-scale application services for vulnerability content.
  • Collaborate with security researchers and vulnerability analysts to troubleshoot time-sensitive production issues.
  • Utilize Golang/Python, AWS cloud services, and relational databases extensively.
  • Ensure the security and efficacy of the data.
  • Develop backend engineering systems and process automation.
  • Build vulnerability management tracking capabilities through data analysis and providing reviewed content to the platform team for product efficacy.
  • Interact and integrate with platform teams and product teams, such as Intel and EPP.
  • Continuously re-engineer to improve architecture, knowledge models, user experience, performance, and stability.

What You’ll Need

  • Experience Level: 5-12 years.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Solid work experience in Golang/Python scripting and development.
    • Strong database skills (MySql, MS SQL).
    • Exposure to AWS cloud / S3.
