Sr. Engineer - Linux Sensor SDET (Hybrid)

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. When the sensor recognizes malicious behavior, then it 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 with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

This is a software tooling role focused on the delivery of our sensor on Linux platforms. Our tools engineers own development of our test pipelines, Linux distro provisioning, and work closely with the product engineering teams. As a tools engineer, you will use your strong technical ability to drive quality and velocity across many different Linux tools, frameworks and pipelines.
