About The Position

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role: CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”: software 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. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, correlates malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to manage the Mac Sensor engineering team within our Endpoint Security product group. In this role, you’ll work closely with the team to define and deliver on our product roadmap as well as coordinate and collaborate with other product groups within the company on Mac sensor related architecture, releases, support, and development best practices. As part of the cross-functional Endpoint Security Product group, you’ll work alongside your team to design, enhance, and build numerous customer-facing features within our CrowdStrike Falcon product line including multiple static analysis-based detection and prevention capabilities, customer configured behavioral detections (custom IOAs), automated remediation, firewall management, and removable device control. We’re a distributed workplace that leverages team productivity tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira for day-to-day communication. Travel for face-to-face meetings is occasionally required and is typically used as an effective way to kick-off new projects or collaborate when working on larger initiatives. PLEASE NOTE: This role is hybrid, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site at one of the posted locations.
