Windows Engineering

Description:

CrowdStrike is seeking an accomplished engineer to join our growing Detonations and Threat Analysis Platform (DATA) team. The DATA team provides industry-leading analysis of customer samples through a rich, extensible platform that aggregates cutting-edge and traditional technologies. This platform covers both static and dynamic analysis, combining them into comprehensive reports that generate automated threat intelligence and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).

As a Windows software engineer within the DATA Sandbox team, you will primarily focus on the research and development of dynamic analysis capabilities. Your work will span core OS subsystems such as file systems, memory, process, and networking. You'll play a key role in creating and enhancing our threat analysis capabilities for Windows operating systems, helping to set the technical direction for the visibility and detection of Windows threats within our platform. You will collaborate closely with our team of developers, site reliability engineers, and security researchers to build applications that identify and thwart malicious actors, protecting our customers from compromise.

While Windows remains a primary focus, you will also have opportunities to leverage and expand your expertise in Linux and Mac systems, contributing to the refinement and improvement of our overall analysis capabilities.

What You'll Do:
 

• Design and build software applications to enhance the efficacy of our Windows dynamic analysis environments.
• Collaborate with product management teams to identify and integrate new features into the threat analysis platform, ensuring effective analysis and reporting on the latest malware families.
• Work jointly with security researchers across teams to gain a deep understanding of the evolving threat landscape.
• Drive innovation by thinking creatively and developing novel approaches for threat detection.
   

What You'll Need:
 

• 5+ years in-depth knowledge of software design and extensive development experience in C/C++.
• Strong understanding of low-level Windows internals and Windows API, encompassing both user space and kernel space.
• Proven experience debugging memory corruptions, contentions, and system performance issues.
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals.
• Experience working effectively within a team to ship major features and releases.
