Sr. Software Engineer - C/C++ Cloud

About the Product:

CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is a sensor which is a lightweight agent installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customers network can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines and presents our customers operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

About the Role:

This is a Software Development Engineer (SDE) role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on Linux. This role will be part of the team designing and implementing new features in the sensor to secure cloud workloads. The work leverages eBPF and other technologies. These features will extend the power of the Falcon platform to provide seamless visibility detection and prevention for container processes running in orchestration environments like Kubernetes.
SDEs in the team own design and development of core features of the product. Features will cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system memory process and networking. The team operates under the Agile development principles and ships frequently.

What Youll Do:

• Build real-time payload analysis capabilities

• Develop cloud-aware sensors that work across multiple environments

• Implement logic for real-time threat detection

• Integrate sensor telemetry with security platforms

What Youll Need:

5 years of experience working on product features on Linux or Unix in C/C with the following characteristics:

• High reliability requirements

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

• Experience developing production eBPF code for security or networking

• Experience in various cloud providers (AWS GCP Azure)

• Experience designing and developing container runtime engines software that monitors containers. or optimized virtual machine environments to run containers.

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