CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor", which is a lightweight agent installed on client environments that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, can correlate 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 role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on various Linux distros and Containerized environments. This role will be part of the team designing and implementing new features in the sensor to secure cloud workloads. The work leverages eBPF and other technologies. These features will extend the power of the Falcon platform to provide seamless visibility, detection, and prevention for Linux and container processes running in orchestration environments like Kubernetes.
