Job description

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day. We have 3.44 PB of RAM deployed across our fleet of C* servers - and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: 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 sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint, and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and blocks malicious activity.

The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

The CrowdStrike sensor engineering team is looking for an Engineering Manager for the team that delivers content and prevention policy on the Falcon sensor. The ideal candidate will be a self-motivated individual with a track record of hiring and retaining a team that delivers great software. Engineers on the team will own the research, design, and development of key features that monitor and take action on user behavior. Features will span all layers of the OS such as file system, memory, process, and networking.

What You'll Do:

Attract, develop, and grow top technical talent to continue building our technical leadership in the industry

Support development teams in designing and building software.

Own features from design to delivery including participation in product demo at the end of the sprint

Collaborate with multi-functional teams in various locations

What You'll Need:

U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident and work solely from U.S. soil

In depth knowledge with C++

Strong low-level OS internals in either Windows, Mac OS, or Linux

Experience as an Engineering Manager with direct reports

Lead, mentor, communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team

Experience debugging memory corruptions, process contentions and system performance

Experience working with teams to ship major features and releases.

Bonus Points:

Prior experience in cyber security

This role will require the candidate to periodically undergo and pass additional background and fingerprint check(s) consistent with government customer requirements.
