About the Team:
Content Development (CD) is a team within the Endpoint Protection area of CrowdStrike—the area responsible for enabling detections and preventions of malicious behaviors on the Falcon Platform. The CD team focuses on strategic, forward-leaning research into new Falcon Sensor capabilities to identify the tactics and techniques used by adversaries. We accomplish this by focusing on OS security and internals across all major supported platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and exposing the right data to the sensor in a supportable and performant manner. Most of our projects involve months of research, planning, coordination, and implementation to be successful. We currently support several key Falcon Sensor technologies that detection and response teams leverage to increase telemetry, alerts, and preventions on the platform.
As a sensor engineer within the Windows Content Development team, you will focus on the analysis and development of detection technologies for attack techniques across supported Windows OS versions. The role requires both research and implementation, working collaboratively to develop detection logic within the Falcon sensor's user-mode and kernel-mode components. These components observe system activity, recognize malicious behavior, provide on-box prevention and remediation capabilities, and send relevant security telemetry to the Falcon Cloud. You'll find creative and resourceful ways to detect and respond to Windows-specific threats while also developing cross-platform features that leverage telemetry from common OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and network activity.
Successful engineers in this role have a strong software engineering background, deep Windows Internals expertise, and significant experience in the security space. As a Senior Engineer, you'll serve as a key resource and subject matter expert for engineers across the team and the broader company, collaborating with a wide range of teams as you drive your own initiatives and contribute to other projects. You'll be expected to make meaningful contributions across the full development lifecycle — from initial concept through design, implementation, release, and post-release support. We pride ourselves on a quality-first mindset and are looking for engineers who thrive on being challenged and take ownership of what they build.
