Job posting number: #165072 (Ref:R21405)
Job Description
About the Role:
CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”, which is 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 cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network and correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

You need to be able to lead projects efficiently while maximizing performance and minimizing costs, making sure high standards are being followed when it comes to design, coding quality, and unit and component testing.
What You’ll Do:
Work with distributed and multi-functional teams in designing and building software with cross-platform capabilities (Windows, Mac, Linux).
Own features from design to delivery including participation in product demo at the end of the sprint.
Design and develop sensor platform modules and tools to improve sensor reliability, scalability and debuggability.
