About The Role

For you to join the mission. At CrowdStrike we’re on a mission - to stop breaches.

We’ve earned numerous honors and top rankings for our technology, organization and people – clearly confirming our industry leadership and our special culture driving it.

The opportunity: Our CrowdStrike Data Science Machine Learning Operations and Response Team is looking for a Threat Analyst who is both customer- and team-focused. This role will include both response and pro-active aspects. This role will be perfect for anyone who has experience involving detections and/or reverse engineering.

Experience with detections of potentially malicious behavior by machine learning models is a plus.

Bring your passion for helping internal partners resolve questions about detections of potentially malicious activity by machine learning and our detection capability. Our goal for the team is to both help internal teams respond to customer-inquiries about threat detection and to provide information about the effects of our detections into the Data Science organization - including detection efficacy and managing false positive detections.

This role will work most closely with internal teams such as Technical Account Managers, Falcon Complete, Data Scientists and the Malware Research Center in Data Science.

• General understanding of threat/risk management and threat/risk assessment
• Familiarity with various operating systems
• Ability to break down complex problems into workable components
  
  

Bonus Points

• A background in exploit and vulnerability analysis
• Knowledge of a variety of programming languages including C, C++, Java, and assembly
