What the job involves

  • Join CrowdStrike and become a key leader in building the most innovative endpoint security solution in the world
  • CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product
  • One component is the sensor, installed on endpoint client systems that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud
  • The Cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network and can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines, presenting our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments
  • As an Engineering Manager for the Software Workflow and Tooling (SWAT) team, you will be expected to have ownership of projects related to ongoing sensor development
  • Our Sensor Development Experience team is responsible for creating, building and optimizing the pipelines and tools that create our sensor
  • SWAT team duties include understanding the development process for engineers across multiple platforms and implementing solutions to ensure the development process is seamless and effective
  • The team supports tools on multiple platforms
  • As experts in this area, the team will also be responsible for providing cross-training and best practice to our other sensor engineering teams
  • Provide technical and managerial leadership on the Sensor Development Experience development team. Responsibilities include driving development tool strategies, building a product roadmap, mentoring engineers, and driving projects to completion
  • Troubleshooting complex sensor development issues and champion development projects that will help to improve overall sensor reliability, development speed, supporting sensor engineers

Our take

Since CrowdStrike was founded by a trio of former McAfee executives in 2011, it’s grown into a thousands-strong, NASDAQ-listed company. With customers including Verizon, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs, it’s considered one of the world’s top enterprise cybersecurity vendors along with the likes of Cisco, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks.

One of the reasons behind CrowdStrike's continued success is its ability to keep pace with the evolving tech market, for instance with its Generative AI security analyst that leverages recent developments in AI. Although not immune to the slowdown of the global economy, the company's modular design has given it the upper hand, allowing clients to consolidate their security spend with CrowdStrike instead of selecting packages from multiple vendors at a higher overall cost.

With long-term demand for cybersecurity products growing, and its reputation as strong as ever, CrowdStrike shows no signs of slowing down. It has partnered with Ignition Technology to double down on its UK presence, and continues to be a voice in the wider market through its "Falcon Fund" investment vehicle and position as a founding member of NIST's Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC).
