We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

The Threat Intelligence and Detection Engineering (TIDE) team is seeking a Sr. Security Engineer II to design and build the automation, tooling, and engineering capabilities that improve CrowdStrike’s internal security operations. This role will be focused on operational business resilience and development of critical platforms, including AI tooling.

As part of CrowdStrike’s internal Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), TIDE partners closely with Incident Response Operations to ensure responders have the detections, data, tooling, automation, and infrastructure they need to rapidly detect, investigate, and respond to security threats.

In this role, you’ll partner with Incident Response Operations to understand operational challenges and engineer scalable solutions that improve the effectiveness of the team. Whether it’s automating repetitive workflows, building new detections, reducing false positives, integrating security platforms, or developing new response capabilities, your work will directly improve how CrowdStrike detects and responds to threats within its own environment.

This role is ideal for engineers with hands‑on incident response experience who enjoy solving operational problems through software engineering, automation, and modern DevOps practices.

What You’ll Do:

Improve Incident Response Operations

• Partner with Incident Response Operations to identify operational challenges and engineer scalable solutions.
• Automate repetitive investigative and response workflows to reduce manual effort and accelerate incident handling.
• Design solutions that improve investigative efficiency, enrich security data, and simplify analyst workflows.
• Build capabilities that improve visibility, reduce operational overhead, and enable responders to focus on high-value investigations.

Enhance Detection & Response

• Design, implement, and maintain security detections across a variety of technologies and data sources.
• Improve detection fidelity by reducing false positives and increasing actionable alert quality.
• Develop and maintain detection, enrichment, and response pipelines that support scalable security operations.
• Collaborate with Threat Intelligence to operationalize threat intelligence through detections and automation.

Build Security Engineering Capabilities

• Develop automation, integrations, and internal tooling that improve security operations.
• Build and maintain integrations between security platforms, cloud services, and internal systems.
• Engineer reliable, cloud-native capabilities using CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and modern software engineering practices.
• Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You’ll Need:

• Hands-on experience investigating and responding to cybersecurity incidents in a SOC, CSIRT, or Incident Response team.
• Experience developing software using Python, Go, or another modern programming language.
• Experience building automation, APIs, or systems integrations.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Understanding of Linux, networking, authentication, and enterprise security technologies.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, or other Infrastructure as Code technologies.
• Experience with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, identity, or cloud security platforms.
• Experience with security telemetry, log analytics, or detection engineering.
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, threat hunting methodologies, or threat intelligence.
• Experience applying AI or machine learning to improve security operations and engineering workflows.
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Benefits of Working at CrowdStrike:

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leaves
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
• Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
• Vibrant office culture with world class amenities
• Great Place to Work Certified across the globe
