You will own the CrowdStrike Falcon capabilities, coordinate with the Managed SOC and Falcon Complete teams, and ensure policy tuning, sensor health, and threat remediation across global endpoints.

This role requires deep Falcon experience, Windows/Linux/macOS knowledge, and scripting skills (PowerShell/Python) to automate deployments and playbooks.

Qualifications

Deep technical experience managing CrowdStrike Falcon (Console management, policy grouping, and sensor troubleshooting).
Strong understanding of Windows, Linux, and macOS system processes, registry keys, and file systems to analyze malware behavior.
Solid grasp of how endpoints communicate with other Cybersecurity tools like SOAR/SIEM/EDR/MDR and the cloud, including firewall requirements for sensor telemetry.
Understanding of common attacker TTPs to proactively tune prevention policies.

Monitor the "sensor health" dashboard to identify and remediate inactive, outdated, or unauthorized agents.
Conduct regular audits of global and group-level exclusions. Work to minimize the "blind spots" created by legacy exclusions while tuning out false positives to improve SOC analyst productivity.
Manage Falcon Fusion workflows and Real‑Time Response (RTR) capabilities.
Configure and maintain prevention policies (e.g Machine Learning levels, Quarantining, Exploitation Mitigation). Fine‑tune exclusions to reduce noise while maintaining a high security posture.
Develop monthly platform reports for leadership, detailing deployment gaps, prevented attacks, and overall Falcon Complete service usage.
Own the end‑to‑end health of the Falcon platform, including sensor version lifecycle management, and troubleshooting kernel‑level issues.
