Role overview

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

Sensor mission - Whereas there may exist a holistic, end-to-end security platform that spans all of sensor and cloud; the SSP org specifically focuses on sensor-oriented mission, consisting of technology implemented entirely (or primarily) on the Crowdstrike endpoint agent known as the Falcon Sensor

Security mission - Whereas the Falcon Sensor may behave as a generic endpoint agent that can satisfy many business use cases; the SSP org specifically focuses on security-oriented capability, consisting of technology that directly supports the company-wide mission of stopping breaches.

Platform mission - Whereas the Crowdstrike platform offers numerous, distinct products and modules; the SSP org specifically focuses on platform-oriented mission, consisting of technology that is reusable across products and modules and that underpins multiple security features and use cases.

Understand, modify and assume shared ownership of complex and critical sensor detections and response capabilities
Gain expertise in core logic of the falcon sensor, becoming a resource for other developers within Crowdstrike who use (and build on top of) the technologies owned by our team.
Communicate design, constraints, guarantees and other aspects of the system.
Communicate and collaborate with other teams at Crowdstrike, including engineering teams who use our tools; adversary response teams; malware researchers; product and program managers; and others.
Write code in a variety of languages, including internally developed, non-imperative domain-specific languages. (Much, but not all, of the work we need will be written in the in-house language. This language is highly asynchronous and used to write responses to system events such as process creation and network traffic. System programming experience on one or more of macOS, Linux, and Windows is helpful.)
Write unit, functional and integration tests
Diagnose and resolve issues discovered by customers or other engineering teams

Take responsibility for and ownership of their work.
Design and implement performant, functionally-correct and well-structured logic.
Can understand, maintain, and improve a large existing codebase.
Can reason about, describe and communicate the nature of complex, highly-concurrent systems.
Can reason about how our endpoint interacts with our cloud, and communicate with cloud development teams for both design and troubleshooting.
Ability to read and write C++ (though this is not primarily a C++ position).
Communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team (across timezones and continents, and with a variety of subject matter expertise).

Fluency and expertise in Linux development environments
Fluency in writing Python
Endpoint security background
Experience designing or writing virtual machine runtimes
Experience with machine learning on the endpoint - we are building an ML platform team to facilitate endpoint ML deployments.

Market leader in compensation and equity awards
