Software Engineer – Sensor, Sensor Performance and Stability (Hybrid)

Overview As part of CrowdStrike Falcon, you work with a mission-driven team to master deep runtime analysis of low-level software, contributing to robust tooling and diagnostics. You’ll learn Windows internals, assembly, and reverse engineering, translating insights into engineering improvements. The role combines hands-on investigation with cross-team collaboration to raise reliability and speed of analysis at scale.
