Sr. Engineering Manager, Platform API - Sensor Foundations (Hybrid)
CrowdStrike · New York, NY · Posted 11 days ago
Shape the roadmap for the cross-platform sensor API layer while leading the design of an on-sensor ML inference runtime that will reach hundreds of millions of endpoints.
About the Role: The Platform API team builds the cross-platform APIs and abstractions that give the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor a consistent programming interface across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The team owns the foundational layer that separates feature development from OS-specific implementation, including threading, file I/O, hashing, work queues, and memory management. Every engineering team that builds sensor capabilities depends on this layer, so its quality and correctness directly shape how quickly and safely CrowdStrike can deliver protection to customers.
The team's scope is growing. A central focus is building a shared platform for on-sensor machine learning inference runtime: a stable C API, backed by an isolated out-of-process service, that runs models on hardware-accelerated backends on each platform. This runtime will make inference-based threat detection as accessible to engineering teams as rules-based detection is today, and it will enable CrowdStrike to bring the next generation of AI-powered protection to hundreds of millions of endpoints.
We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager with deep systems expertise and strong organizational leadership to guide this team. You will own the technical roadmap, lead the inference runtime from early design through production delivery, make key decisions on API design and long-term compatibility, and build the partnerships needed for broad adoption across the sensor organization. You will collaborate closely with Windows, Linux, and macOS engineering teams, platform infrastructure teams, and partners in product and program management.
