CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host 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 blocks malicious activity.
The cloud component 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.
This is a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) position on the Windows sensor engineering team, in the detection space. At CrowdStrike, SDETs and SDEs work together in combined engineering teams. SDETs are key contributors on the team, focusing on the quality of the sensor. SDETs use their strong software development skills to build effective tools, harnesses, and specialized tests to assure that quality goals are met for each new capability. SDETs also participate actively in design and code reviews, and collaborate with the research, hunting, and cloud teams to ensure end-to-end sensor functionality.
Successful engineers in this role have: an understanding of Windows kernel and user space, a passion for continuous learning to keep up with an ever-changing threat landscape, and a creative mindset for designing new code validation methods to increase the quality, performance and the reliability of the shipped code.
