Job description
As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed - we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems.

When the pressure is off you will have time to undertake research to improve our detection capabilities, understand our adversaries, build tools, or work with other CrowdStrike teams across a broad range of topics and projects. If you are proficient in either network/host-based intrusion analysis, cloud/identity, digital forensics or cyber threat intelligence, and you want to gain fast-paced experience in dealing with eCrime threat actors, we may have a role for you!
