About the Product:

CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor", which is a lightweight agent installed on client machines 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.

About the Role:

CrowdStrike is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Linux sensor development team. This role combines technical leadership with people management, overseeing the design and implementation of new security features in our lightweight Linux agent. You'll guide a team of engineers working with eBPF and other advanced technologies to extend Falcon's capabilities across diverse environments, including containerized workloads in Kubernetes.
