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. 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. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike's Sensor and Language Tooling (SaLT) team is hiring an engineer to work on malware detection and prevention pipelines on our Falcon sensor. The SaLT team is responsible for a variety of internal tools which enable other teams at CrowdStrike to write security detections. This role is focused on the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor’s detection pipelines and improving the sensor’s programmability tools. Our detection and prevention pipelines respond to system events, such as process creation and network traffic, on endpoints running the Falcon sensor. Our programmability tools allow the sensor’s behavior to be configured dynamically to allow fast response times to threat actors.

CrowdStrike is a remote-first company with offices and developers worldwide. Remote candidates living in the US and Canada are encouraged to apply. Candidates from the UK, EU or Australia are also welcome to apply, but should know that coordination with US-based teams will be necessary and flexible working hours will be required. Occasional travel (<10%) is required.

CrowdStrike does not require candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to grow.

What You’ll Do:

• Understand, modify and assume shared ownership of complex and critical sensor event and data processing pipeline logic.
• Gain expertise in core logic of the Falcon sensor, becoming a resource for other developers within CrowdStrike.
• Communicate design, constraints, guarantees and other aspects of the system.
• Communicate and collaborate with other teams at CrowdStrike.
• Write code in a variety of languages, including internally developed, non-imperative domain-specific languages.
• Write unit, functional and integration tests.
• Diagnose and resolve issues discovered by customers or other engineering teams.
• Work with language and compiler developers at CrowdStrike to help set direction and prioritize feature development.

What You’ll Need:

• 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.
• Ability to read C++ is critical, as the core runtime you will work with is in C++.
• Communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team.

Bonus Points:

• Fluency in writing Python.
• Endpoint security background.
• Experience designing or writing virtual machine runtimes.

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:

• Remote-friendly and flexible work culture.
• Market leader in compensation and equity awards.
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs.
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge.
• Paid parental and adoption leaves.
• Professional development opportunities for all employees.
• Employee Resource Groups and volunteer opportunities.
• Vibrant office culture with world class amenities.

CrowdStrike is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering a culture of belonging where everyone is valued for who they are and empowered to succeed.
