About CrowdStrike Falcon (Endpoint Security)

CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Security is a two-component security product.

One component is the “sensor”: an 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 sensor processes thousands of events per second to provide deep visibility into operations on the endpoint, and performs rich correlation and computation to identify malicious events and block malicious activity.

The other component is the cloud: it aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

About the Team

The CTIO (Chief Technology Innovation Officer) team at CrowdStrike defines and executes on the company's technology vision and strategy, driving innovation, and overseeing the development and evolution of the Falcon platform. We deliver cutting edge innovation for our sensor across Windows, macOS and Linux. We ensure that CrowdStrike maintains its position as a technology leader by fostering engineering excellence, aligning technical capabilities with business objectives, and anticipating emerging threats and market trends.

About the Role

As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team working on user-mode security architecture on Windows, where reliability, performance, and resource footprint all matter.

The sensor sits at the intersection of OS internals, performance, and security. Small design choices have an outsized impact on millions of machines. Safe deployment and rigorous testing are core to how we build.

You will be expected to have ownership over all major components and development projects in your team, as well as training and growing individuals. You’ll assist with architecting solutions and support the implementation of core features that cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory and processes, and networking. Many features are also built as shared components across multiple platforms. You’ll be expected to lead projects efficiently while maximizing performance and minimizing costs, making sure high standards are being followed when it comes to design, code quality, and testing.
