Are you excited about the evolving role of AI in security operations, including AI models, prompt engineering, and agentic SOC workflows?

What You’ll Do

• Lead complex investigations across endpoint, identity, email, network, and cloud environments, serving as technical lead for high-severity and multi-customer incidents.
• Conduct advanced analysis of EDR telemetry, forensic artifacts, and network data to determine root cause, attacker TTPs, and full scope of compromise.
• Investigate sophisticated Microsoft 365 attacks including business email compromise (BEC) and adversary-in-the-middle (AITM), and provide expert-level guidance to customers.
• Perform advanced review of static and dynamic malware analysis to understand threat behavior, identify indicators of compromise, and inform detection and remediation strategies.
• Develop and lead strategic and surgical remediation plans for compromised environments, including coordination of third‑party platform containment actions across customer infrastructure.
• Actively mentor and develop Analyst team members, contributing to training materials, knowledge base content, and team capability development.
• Identify and drive process improvements, contribute to SOP development, and build automation to enhance detection and response capabilities.
• Represent CrowdStrike through thought leadership activities including blog posts, CrowdCasts, and external speaking engagements.
• Deliver expert‑level customer communications, managing technical escalations and serving as a trusted advisor during critical incidents.
