About the Role:

CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is the “sensor”, installed on endpoint client systems 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 customer’s network and can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines, presenting our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

 

Join CrowdStrike and become a key leader in building the most innovative endpoint security solution in the world.  Our Windows sensor platform team is responsible for building and maintaining the core components of the sensor. As an Engineering Manager, you will be expected to have ownership over major components and development projects as well as training/growing your team.  You will be required to assist with architecting solutions and support in implementing our core features. Features will cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory and process, and networking. Many features are also built in a way that they will have shared components across multiple platforms. You need to be able to lead projects efficiently while maximizing performance and minimizing costs, making sure high standards are being followed when it comes to design, coding quality, and unit and component testing.

 

What You'll Do:

• Provide partnership on the sensor development team involved in architecture, strategy, in building and improving next-generation Anti-Virus and Enhanced Detection and Response Security Software.

• Develop new product concepts.

• Support development teams in designing and building software.

• Own features from design to delivery including participation in product demos.

• Collaborate with multi-functional teams in various locations.

 

What You'll Need:

• General knowledge and understanding of C++ and Windows Operating System internals

• Experience working with teams to ship major features and releases.

• Experience as either Senior Manager or an Engineering Manager with direct reports

• Ability to lead, mentor, communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team

 

Bonus Points:

• Strong background in scalable, light-weight and highly performing systems

• Windows OS system expertise for core concepts and subsystems

• Familiarity and experience with Agile process

• Knowledge and expertise in the Security landscape
