Our goal is to enable the sensor to autonomously identify and stop the bad guys where possible, and to provide useful visibility and guidance to security analysts when new previously unknown adversary activity occurs. We research attacker behavior to understand their tools and techniques, and we build the capabilities to detect and prevent their malicious activity. Our detection strategies are primarily performed directly on the endpoint, but can also execute in the cloud, and may also utilize a hybrid approach combining aspects of both environments.  This ability to leverage a variety of tools across the CrowdStrike stack allow us to accomplish our detection goals while balancing local resource utilization and false positives for our customers.</span></p><p></p><p><span>As a Windows Kernel Sensor engineer within the CRI Windows team you will be focused on the research and development of sensor capabilities to provide visibility and detection support for attack techniques across supported Windows OS versions. You’ll work collaboratively to implement detection logic within the Falcon sensor which includes both user-mode and kernel-mode components that together observe system activity, recognize malicious behavior, provide on-box prevention and remediation capabilities, and send relevant security related telemetry to the Falcon Cloud. You’ll help find creative and resourceful ways to detect Windows specific threats while also helping to develop cross platform features that leverage telemetry from common OS subsystems such as file system, memory, process, and network activity. You’ll get exposure to both user-mode and kernel-mode coding practices.</span></p><p></p><p><span>As a Senior Engineer, you’ll function as a key resource and subject matter expert for other engineers within the team and across the group.  You’ll collaborate with various other teams as you drive your own initiatives and assist with other projects. You’ll be expected to make significant contributions from the initial concept phase through design, implementation, release, and bugtail/support.
