About The Role

For you to join the mission. At CrowdStrike we're on a mission - to stop breaches. Our groundbreaking technology, services delivery, and intelligence gathering together with our innovations in machine learning and behavioral-based detection, allow our customers to not only defend themselves, but do so in a future-proof manner. 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. The primary responsibility of this role will be to analyze malware and detections by investigating individual customer detection tickets. This team is focused on improving detection capability and efficiency through analysis of malware or other threat detections impacting our customer base. 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.

What You'll Do

  • Review current product detections to ensure they are performing to the company standard

  • Knowledge of MacOS and/or Linux
  • Ability to demonstrate practical knowledge of research/collection skills and analytical methods
  • 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

  • Experience in a security operations center or similar environment responding to incidents
  • A thorough understanding of Windows OS internals and the Windows API
  • Familiarity with tools used in targeted and criminal cyber-intrusions
  • A background in exploit and vulnerability analysis
  • Knowledge of a variety of programming languages including C, C+, Java, and assembly
  • Experience with threat detections by machine learning
