We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

Content Development (CD) is a team within the Endpoint Protection area of CrowdStrike—the area responsible for enabling detection and prevention of malicious behaviors on the Falcon Platform. The CD team focuses on strategic, forward-leaning research into new Falcon Sensor capabilities to identify the tactics and techniques used by adversaries. We accomplish this by focusing on OS security and internals across all major supported platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and exposing the right data to the sensor in a supportable and performant manner. Most of our projects involve months of research, planning, coordination, and implementation to be successful. We currently support several key Falcon Sensor technologies that detection and response teams leverage to increase telemetry, detections, and preventions on the platform.

This is a hybrid role based out Redmond, WA, Sunnyvale, CA, Austin, TX, NYC, or Toronto with an expectation of being in the office at least 2 days per week.

In this role, you will research and develop techniques for detecting malicious activity on macOS systems, then build them into production-level solutions for deployment in the endpoint sensor. The role is a split of research and implementation, working alongside a small and nimble group of macOS engineers and often leveraging shared code with other sensor platforms such as Windows and Linux. Successful engineers in this role have a strong software engineering background, deep macOS expertise, and significant experience in the security space. As an Engineer III on our team, you'll serve as a key resource and subject matter expert for engineers across teams and the broader company, collaborating with a wide range of teams as you drive your own initiatives and contribute to other projects. You'll be expected to make meaningful contributions across the full development lifecycle — from initial concept through design, implementation, release, and post-release support. We pride ourselves on a quality-first mindset and are looking for engineers who thrive on being challenged and take ownership of what they build.

• OR Designing, building, and delivering high-quality software in Swift, C/C++, or Objective-C (and ideally similar languages), and familiarity or a proven interest in security
• Solid knowledge of macOS OS internals: processes, storage, networking, and memory management, along with relevant components, APIs, and frameworks
• Ability to develop high-quality code in Swift and/or C/C++ that meets: High-concurrency requirements with strong use of multi-threading
• High reliability and performance requirements
• Detailed low-level operating requirements (memory usage, efficient performance, standards conformance)
• Ability to deliver enterprise software while collaborating across functions: CI, testing, debugging, performance tracing, release management, big-data telemetry analysis, and issue handling
• Team player—able to communicate, collaborate, and work effectively in a distributed team, and to clearly articulate thoughts and designs to peers and upper management
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

• Familiarity and ideally experience with macOS frameworks and events relevant to security (for example, Endpoint Security and Network Extension)
• Recent familiarity with macOS APIs, SDKs, and OS developments
• Prior security experience, particularly in endpoint threat detection or sensor development, including on other operating systems (Linux, Windows)
• Familiarity with AI and recent developments in the macOS threat landscape
• Experience developing and delivering 24/7 enterprise endpoint software
• Experience with Python and scripting for research, tooling, and automation

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware. There’s much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
