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. The "sensor" component 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 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 customers' network, correlates 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 Software Development Engineer role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor on Linux. SDEs in the team own design, development and testing of core features on the platform. Features will cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking. Many features are also built in a way that they will have shared components across Windows and Mac. The team operates under the Agile development principles and ships frequently.

Location: UK, Ireland, Denmark, Romania

What You'll Do:

• Design and develop Linux software for deployment on customer endpoints

• Own features from design to delivery

• Collaborate with multi-functional teams in various physical locations

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues with the product as reported from customers

• Other projects as assigned

What You’ll Need:

• Ability to develop high-quality code in C/C++ and can demonstrate that capability, be it through job experience, schoolwork, or contributions to community projects

• Minimum 5 years of production experience on Linux or Unix developing product code with the following characteristics:

  • High concurrency requirements needing strong use of multi-threading

  • High reliability requirements

  • Detailed requirements on low-level operating characteristics (memory usage, efficient performance, correct conformance to external standards)

• Experience working on a team to ship major features and releases

• Able to communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team
