About the Role

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 customers 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 aSoftware Development Engineer in Test(SDET) position in the mobile sensor engineering team. At CrowdStrike, SDETs and SDEs work together in combined engineering teams. SDETs are key contributors in the teams focus on quality of the sensor.

SDETs use their strong software development skills to build effective tools, harnesses, and specialized tests to assure that quality. SDETs also participate actively in design and code reviews, and collaborate with the cloud team to assure end-to-end system functionality.
