About the Role:

CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is the "sensor", installed on endpoint client systems that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud.

Our Sensor Platform Team is responsible for building and maintaining the core components of the sensor. Sensor features cross-cut most core OS subsystems such as file system, memory, processes, and networking.
