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's Sensor and Language Tooling (SaLT) team is hiring an engineer to work on malware detection and prevention pipelines on our Falcon sensor. The SaLT team is responsible for a variety of internal tools which enable other teams at CrowdStrike to write security detections. Among the team’s responsibilities are a custom compiler toolchain for our in-house, security-focused domain specific language (DSL), and also core functions of our security detections platform. The SaLT team works closely with a wide range of other teams at CrowdStrike, helping dedicated engineers across the globe solve hard problems.This role is focused on the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor’s detection and prevention pipelines. Our detection and prevention pipelines respond to system events, such as process creation and network traffic, on endpoints running the Falcon sensor. These pipelines collate and filter security-relevant events and eventually transmit them to CrowdStrike’s cloud, where they are ingested by our ThreatGraph cloud service.What You’ll Do:Understand, modify and ultimately assume shared ownership of complex and critical sensor event and data processing pipeline logic - for the purposes of expanding and maintaining the systems as well as guiding future direction.Gain expertise in the aforementioned critical and core sensor logic, with the goal of becoming a resource for other developers and users on related topics, and to effectively (and authoritatively) communicate design, constraints, guarantees and other aspects of the system.Write code in a variety of languages, including internally developed, non-imperative domain-specific languages. (Much, but not all, of the work we need will be written in the in house language for which our team owns the compiler. This language is highly asynchronous and used to write responses to system events such as process creation and network traffic. System programming experience on one or more of macOS, Linux, and Windows is helpful but not required.)Write unit, functional and integration testsDiagnose and resolve issues discovered by customers or other engineering teamsWork with language and compiler developers at CrowdStrike to help set direction and prioritize feature developmentWhat You’ll Need:This role can be filled by a relatively new engineer or a mid-career developer.
