## 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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Set architectural direction for cross-platform API components, including threading, file I/O, hashing, work queues, and memory management
- Make critical design decisions on what is implemented once versus per platform, what runs in-process versus out-of-process, and how kernel-mode and user-mode constraints shape each component
- Drive consistent adoption of platform APIs through linting, automated code review, and clear usage guidance, so that standards scale across a large engineering organization
- Participate actively in design and code reviews, and develop a deep understanding of the team's API contracts, compatibility constraints, and failure modes
- Hire, coach, and grow engineers through honest, frequent feedback and genuine investment in their careers, lead the full recruitment process from initial contact through successful onboarding
- Build team cohesion, resolve interpersonal friction, and create an environment where engineers can do their best work
