Sr. Engineer 2 - Sensor, Core Windows (Remote)

You'll join a tight-knit team of deep Windows kernel and system software engineers with a strong track record of delivering complex, cross-team initiatives without lowering the quality bar. The team's scope is expanding, and it holds a central role in shaping the next generation of the Falcon sensor on Windows. That means real ownership early: you won't be maintaining a corner of the codebase, you'll be helping decide where it goes next.

Design, develop, and own kernel-mode and lower level system software components of the Windows sensor, from design through delivery and production validation

Partner on sensor architecture and technical strategy for endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities

Build software with cross-platform deliverables in collaboration with Linux and macOS engineers

Drive design reviews and provide substantive code review that raises the bar for the team

Diagnose and resolve complex production issues and customer escalations, including crashes, hangs, and performance regressions

Improve the test infrastructure and tooling that keep kernel-mode code reliable as it evolves

Mentor other engineers and collaborate effectively with multi-functional teams across locations

In-depth knowledge of C/C++ and Windows kernel and driver development (e.g., minifilter drivers, kernel callbacks, kernel/user-mode communication)

Strong low-level Windows OS internals: processes and threads, memory management, the I/O subsystem, and the security model

Experience debugging memory corruption, deadlocks and resource contention, and system performance problems, including crash dump analysis with WinDbg

Experience shipping major features and releases as part of a team

Ability to lead, mentor, communicate, and work effectively in a distributed team

Willingness to travel occasionally for team offsites and in-person collaboration

Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Experience with Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), or other kernel-mode telemetry sources

Background in endpoint security, EDR, or anti-tamper technologies

Strong background in scalable, lightweight, high-performance systems

Low-level OS internals experience on macOS or Linux

Familiarity with Agile development practices
