Engineer III - Sensor; Remote

About the Product

Crowd Strike Falcon is a two‑component security product. The sensor is a lightweight agent that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behaviour, providing on‑box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry, correlates malicious behaviour across multiple machines and provides customers’ operations teams with a prioritised summary of detected threats.

This is a Software Development Engineer (SDE) position that delivers the sensor on various container‑optimised Linux distributions. The team designs and implements new features in the sensor to secure cloud workloads, leveraging eBPF and related technologies. These features extend the Falcon platform’s visibility, detection and prevention for container processes running in orchestration environments such as Kubernetes.

• Create and maintain high‑performance Linux system software components. Analyse complex software features and build effective test strategies and designs.
• Ensure reliability and performance through monitoring, testing and debugging. Debug product issues found through tests or customer cases to identify roots causes and apply learnings to improve tests.
• Work closely with engineers to support a culture of high product quality and excellence. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to integrate sensor and cloud solutions, and collaborate with product and release management to control risk, improve quality and streamline release cycles.
• Participate in code reviews and provide technical guidance to team members. Contribute to engineering best practices such as secure coding, testing paradigms, debugging, performance measurement, code reviews, CI/CD and OS internals to keep sensor code fast and reliable.
• Lead strategic technical initiatives focusing on containers and orchestrators security in both public and private cloud.
• Other projects as assigned.

• 5+ years of experience developing product features on Linux or Unix in C/C++ with:
  • high concurrency requirements demanding extensive use of multi‑threading
  • high reliability expectations
  • detailed low‑level operating characteristics (memory usage, efficient performance, correct conformance to external standards)
• Experience developing production eBPF code for security or networking.
• Experience designing and developing container runtime engines or software that monitors containers/optimised VM environments to run containers.
• Experience programming cloud‑native workloads using public cloud platforms and container technologies including AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.
• Experience shipping major features and releases with a team.
• Strong communication, collaboration and ability to work effectively in a distributed team.

• Remote‑friendly and flexible work culture
• Market‑leading compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leave
