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., This is a Sr. Software Development Engineer (SDE) role in the CTIO team that delivers the cutting edge innovation for our sensor (lightweight agent) for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS platforms. The Sr. SDE's in the team own design and development of core features on the platform. Features will cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and networking. Many features are also built in a way that they will have shared components across Linux, Windows, and MacOS. The team operates under the Agile development principles and ships frequently. The CTIO team at CrowdStrike is responsible for defining and executing the company's technology vision and strategy, driving innovation and overseeing the development and evolution of the Falcon platform. The CTIO ensures CrowdStrike maintains its position as a technology leader by fostering engineering excellence, aligning technical capabilities with business objectives, and anticipating emerging threats and market trends. What You'll Do: * Collaborate with all the sensor development teams, across the company, on architecture and strategic initiatives. * Conceptualize and develop new product features. * Provide guidance and support to development teams in designing and implementing software for cross-platform delivery (Windows, macOS, Linux). * Take ownership of features throughout the entire lifecycle, from initial design to final delivery, including presenting product demonstrations at the conclusion of each sprint. * Engage in cross-functional collaboration with teams situated in various locations. ## Related Videos - [The Developer Workstation Blind Spot: Why Your Security Stack Can't See What Matters Most](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100254-the-developer-workstation-blind-spot-why-your-security-stack-can-t-see-what-matters-most) - [Possibilities with Web Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1575-possibilities-with-web-capabilities) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Develop on Windows, Deploy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1600-develop-on-windows-deploy-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
