About the role

• Entry level engineer for CrowdStrike working on systems code for endpoint security. Collaborating within teams and understanding complex system interactions for critical detections.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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).
