Software Engineering Intern (Sensor) - Summer 2020
The Product
CrowdStrike Falcon Host is a two-component security product. One component is a “sensor”, which is a driver installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon Host cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer’s network, can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers’ operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.
Job Description
The sensor development team is looking for a college intern. This team is responsible for building a small kernel level sensor for multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
