This is an endpoint role: you will write systems code running on endpoints and reasoning over event streams from the operating system.
A lot of the code you write will be in an in-house DSL for which a partner team inside Crowdstrike owns the compiler.
You will gain expertise in the core logic of the falcon sensor: how it reasons over events from the operating system; filters those events; sends telemetry about them to our cloud; and takes security action based on them.
Understand, modify and assume shared ownership of complex and critical sensor detections and response capabilities.
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 unit, functional and integration tests (largely in Python).
Diagnose and resolve issues discovered by customers or other engineering teams

Ability to take responsibility for and ownership of your work.
System programming experience, or interest in systems programming and operating systems, is useful because it will be important subject matter context.
Good communication skills.
Ability to design and implement performant, functionally-correct and well-structured logic.
Ability reason about how our endpoint interacts with our cloud, and communicate with cloud development teams for both design and troubleshooting.
Learning to read and write some C++ (though this is not primarily a C++ position
at this level, prior experience is not required).
Communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team (across timezones and continents, and with a variety of subject matter expertise).
