Sr. Software Development Engineer - Endpoint platform (Remote)
Join to apply for the Sr. Software Development Engineer - Endpoint platform (Remote) role at CrowdStrike
About The Role
CrowdStrike Endpoint Security Platform is a two-component security product. 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. 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 seeking a highly skilled Senior Cloud Engineer to join the growing Endpoint Security Platform cloud team at CrowdStrike. As a key member of our team, you\'ll play a critical role in designing, building, maintaining and running the foundational cloud services that power our industry-leading platform.

You\'ll work on a globally distributed, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cloud ecosystem that supports integration of events from CrowdStrike\'s internal providers as well as from 3rd party integrations.
Don\'t worry if you don\'t know Golang, we will teach you!
