CrowdStrike - Sunnyvale, CA

Hiring: Software Engineer – Sensor, Sensor Performance and Stability (Hybrid) Company: CrowdStrike Location: Sunnyvale, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 07:41:26 Employment Type: Remote Target Skills & Keywords : Assembly, C++, Linux, Python, macOS About the job Required Skills: •This is a hybrid role based out of one of the posted locations: Redmond, WA or Sunnyvale, CA, with a combination of in-office and remote work. •Analyze the runtime behavior of complex low-level software across user mode and kernel mode on Windows, primarily through postmortem memory dump analysis in WinDbg. •Work from raw memory, register state and disassembly to a precise, evidence-backed account of what executing code did and why — and hold yourself to a high evidentiary bar in reaching it. •Correlate your analysis with source code, applying reverse engineering and disassembly techniques where symbols, source or context are incomplete. •Drive investigations to accurate, well-reasoned conclusions rather than plausible-sounding ones, and communicate confidence and uncertainty honestly. •Partner with Sensor development teams to translate your findings into concrete, well-designed engineering improvements. •Generalize from individual investigations: recognize patterns, and champion improvements to tooling, diagnostics, automated validation and engineering practice that raise the reliability bar broadly rather than locally. •Build and improve the tooling, automation and analysis techniques that make deep runtime analysis faster, more repeatable and more accessible — for our team and for Sensor engineers across the company. Qualifications: •Any exposure to debugging tools and techniques — WinDbg, GDB, LLDB, or similar — including as a hobby, in coursework, or in CTFs. •Coursework, internships, or personal projects involving operating system internals, kernel or driver development, systems programming, or computer architecture. •Operational familiarity with x86-64 or ARM64 assembly and the ability to read disassembly. •Exposure to reverse engineering, malware analysis, or vulnerability research. •Scripting experience, particularly Python, for automation and analysis tooling. •Interest in or experience with the security landscape. •Market leader in compensation and equity awards •Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs •Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge •Paid parental and adoption leaves Compensation: •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
