Job Description:
CrowdStrike, Inc.Full time
R22656
About the Role:
CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”, which is an application 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 cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network and 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 Principal Software Engineer role in the engineering team that delivers the sensor (lightweight agent) on Linux. This team owns the core platform for the Linux sensor, which has two variants: one using eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), and another using Linux kernel modules. Features cross-cut most core Linux kernel subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking. Many features are often built in a way that they have shared components across Windows and Mac sensors.The team operates at a fast pace and ships frequently.
As a Principal Engineer, you will help set the overall technical direction for the team and the broader Linux sensor organization. You will also act as a key technical advisor to engineering, product management, and executives making decisions in complex, open-ended problem spaces.
What You'll Do:
Provide technical guidance to management in making product and roadmap decisions affecting the Linux sensor.
Conduct architecture and design reviews for key platform features within the Linux sensor.
Collaborate with multi-functional remote teams in various locations across multiple OSes (Linux, Windows, Mac).
Mentor senior engineers to help grow and scale the team.
Act as a role model for the team to foster a culture of software quality and resilience.
Engage with the upstream Linux kernel community on bug fixes, backports, or other kernel issues that may affect the Linux sensor.
What You’ll Need:
In-depth knowledge of low-level Linux internals.
Strong experience with C and/or C++.
Experience designing and implementing complex, performant, and highly concurrent systems.
The ability to be assertive yet collaborative in high stakes situations.
Strong communication skills and the ability to communicate effectively with executives, product management, customers, and other engineers.
Ability to navigate technical risk to make pragmatic tradeoffs between product quality and deadline pressures.
Ability to operate efficiently in a remote, highly distributed work environment.
We expect that most successful candidates would have 10+ years of experience working on Linux systems programming close to or in the kernel, as well as experience as a team or project lead. That said, this is not a hard requirement.
Bonus points:
Experience working with eBPF.
Experience working with Linux kernel modules.
Knowledge in the security space.
Experience working with open source communities, especially the Linux kernel community.
