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’re also a mission-driven company that cultivates an inclusive culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers.

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. The sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint.

This is a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor on Windows. SDE’s in the team own design and development of core features on the platform. The team operates under the Agile development principles and ships frequently.

• Provide partnership on the sensor development team involved in architecture and strategy.
• Develop new product concepts.
• Support development teams in designing and building software with cross-platform deliverables (Windows, Mac, Linux).
• 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:

• In-depth knowledge with C++ and Windows OS Kernel and Driver Development.
• Strong low-level OS internals in Windows.
• Experience debugging memory corruptions, process contentions and system performance.
• Experience working with teams to ship major features and releases.
• Lead, mentor, communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team.

Bonus Points:

• Strong background in scalable, light-weight and highly performing systems.
• OS system expertise for core concepts and subsystems.
• Familiarity and experience with Agile process.
• Knowledge in Security.

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 to build connections.
• Great Place to Work Certified across the globe.
