Job Details
#WeAreCrowdStrike and our mission is to stop breaches. As a global leader in cybersecurity, our team changed the game. Since our inception, our market leading cloud-native platform has offered unparalleled protection against the most sophisticated cyberattacks. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing over 1 trillion events a day with a petabyte of RAM deployed in our Cassandra clusters - and this traffic is growing daily. We're looking for people with limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to developing and shaping our cybersecurity platform. Consistently recognized as a top workplace, CrowdStrike is committed to cultivating an inclusive, remote-first culture that offers people the autonomy and flexibility to balance the needs of work and life while taking their career to the next level. Interested in working for a company that sets the standard and leads with integrity? Join us on a mission that matters - one team, one fight.
About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing Endpoint Protection Content Development (EPPC) team which focuses on security related endpoint development on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The Endpoint Protection Content Development (EPPC) team is a central part of CrowdStrike's mission - "We Stop Breaches." In EPPC, we implement strategies and processes that detect and prevent suspicious or malicious behavior. Our goal is to automatically stop the bad guys where possible, and to provide useful visibility and guidance to security analysts when new previously unknown adversarial activity occurs. We research attacker behavior to understand their tools and techniques, and we build capabilities to detect and prevent malicious activity. Our detection strategies are often performed directly on the endpoint, but are also executed in the cloud and may utilize a hybrid strategy combining aspects of both environments. This ability to leverage a variety of tools across the CrowdStrike stack allow us to accomplish our detection goals while balancing local resource utilization and false positives for our customers.
As a software engineer within the EPPC team you will be focused on the analysis and development of detections for Linux based attack techniques across supported Linux versions. You'll work collaboratively to implement these detections within the Falcon sensor which is a lightweight agent that observes system activity, recognizes malicious behavior, provides on-box prevention capability, and sends relevant security related data and telemetry to the Falcon cloud. We're looking for smart people who want to be challenged and take ownership of what they build.

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:
