About The Product:CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor", which is a lightweight agent installed on client environments that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers' operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.
This role is hybrid, on-site at one of the posted locations. Candidate should be comfortable visiting the office twice a week once the development center is established.
About The Role:This is a Software Development Engineer (SDE) role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on various container optimized Linux distros. This role will be part of the team designing and implementing new features in the sensor to secure cloud workloads. The work leverages eBPF and other technologies. These features will extend the power of the Falcon platform to provide seamless visibility, detection, and prevention for container processes running in orchestration environments like Kubernetes.
What You'll Do:- Create and maintain high-performance linux system software components. Analyze complex software features, and build effective test strategies and test designs.
- Ensure systems and components reliability and performance through monitoring, testing, and debugging. Debug product issues found through test or customer cases to identify root cause and use the input to improve tests.
- Work closely with a team of engineers to support and maintain a culture of high product quality and excellence. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate sensor and cloud solutions. Work collaboratively with product and release management to control risk, improve quality, and streamline our release cycles
- Participate in code reviews and provide technical guidance to team members. Participate in engineering best practices, including topics like secure coding, testing paradigms, debugging, performance measurement, code reviews, CI/CD and OS internals, to ensure that our sensor code is fast and reliable
- Lead strategic technical initiatives focusing on containers and orchestrators security in both public and private cloud
- Other projects as assigned
What You'll Need:- 10+ years of experience working on product features on Linux or Unix in C/C++ with the following characteristics:
- high concurrency requirements needing strong use of multi-threading
- high reliability requirements
- detailed requirements on low-level operating characteristics (memory usage, efficient performance, correct conformance to external standards)
- A minimum of a Bachelor Degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a equivalent technical field.
- Experience developing production eBPF code for security or networking
- Experience designing and developing container runtime engines, software that monitors containers. or optimized virtual machine environments to run containers.
- Experiences in programming cloud native workload using public cloud platforms and container technologies include AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, etc.
- Experience working on a team to ship major features and releases
- Ability to communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
