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 proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. 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.
The Platform API team defines the cross-platform APIs and abstractions that give the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor a consistent programming interface across Windows, Linux, and macOS. These APIs sit at the boundary between feature code and OS-specific implementations and the quality of these abstractions directly shapes how fast and safely sensor development can move across the organization. The team is also responsible for shared platform code, with a clear distinction between platform-agnostic interfaces and per-platform implementation.. A central workstream is building shared on-sensor ML inference infrastructure: a cross-language runtime that enables any sensor component to execute ML models with hardware acceleration across all platforms.
This is a systems software role. You'll work close to the OS across multiple platforms, reason carefully about correctness and performance under real-world load, and hold a high engineering bar in a codebase where reliability is non-negotiable. You will work cross-functionally with peer engineers across Mac, Linux, Windows, and many other teams inside and outside your core organization in a varied environment.
What You're Stepping Into
You're stepping into a team with established component ownership and a charter that is actively expanding. The engineering spans cross-platform correctness, performance-sensitive code paths, and shared platform infrastructure where a defect could propagate across every consumer simultaneously. You'll work alongside engineers who hold a high reliability bar for software that runs continuously on endpoints at global scale. If you want to build foundational software that runs at global scale and has a direct impact on security outcomes, this is the role.
