Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed - we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. 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.\nAbout the Role:\nCrowdStrike Intelligence is seeking a motivated security researcher with excellent technical skills to research in-the-wild exploits for all types of vulnerabilities. Our Technical Analysis Cell (TAC) is at the forefront of CrowdStrike’s battles with state-sponsored adversaries and criminal actors. We combine world-class intelligence analysis with deep-dive reverse engineering and malicious code analysis, building and using cutting-edge automation systems to deliver actionable indicators and operational insights. This is purely a defensive role on the TAC team that is focused on analyzing, understanding and documenting exploitation techniques that are observed in the wild.\nThis highly technical position serves an important role in conducting analysis, increasing our coverage of the global threat landscape, contributing to the continuous tracking of criminal and state-sponsored adversary groups, and ultimately developing finished intelligence products. The primary focus is the analysis of in-the-wild exploits as part of our adversary tracking efforts in close collaboration with other subject matter experts on the Intelligence team.\nWe are ideally looking for a seasoned specialist in vulnerability and exploit analysis to help track the adversary landscape based on intrusion behavior. That said, we are also open to applications by experienced and talented malware analysts or reverse engineers without significant knowledge in this field who are willing to rapidly expand their skills to meet the following requirements:\nWhat You'll Do:\nTechnical Analysis:\nImplement tracking systems that inform cross-team adversary tracking efforts based on observed exploitation behavior.\n\nImprove and maintain capabilities for detecting exploits, malicious payloads and other potential attack vectors using existing data sources.\n\nIdentify opportunities for increasing the visibility of threats, specifically exploits, using new data sources.\n\nMaintain a detailed understanding of the inner functioning of relevant exploits through reverse engineering.\n\nDevelop tools to assist with the automation of exploit analysis tasks by extending static and dynamic analysis frameworks.\n\nCreate a classification framework that aids attribution of intrusion activity based on vulnerabilities used and characteristics in observed exploits.\n\nContribute to active mitigation efforts with technical expertise.\n\nDevelop host-based and network-based signatures suited for large-scale hunting, detection, and prevention of identified exploits.\n\nIntelligence Reporting:\nProduce high-quality threat intelligence reporting for all levels of readership, including actionable mitigation and detection guidance.\n\nExperience in technical writing.\n\nAbility to brief complex technical analysis results to different audiences.\n\nCollaborate across teams to inform various functions within CrowdStrike Intelligence and beyond about activity of interest, to coordinate adversary and campaign tracking, and to provide support to teams developing exploit mitigation strategies and products.\n\nConduct briefings as needed for a variety of levels of customers as requested (via either phone, video conference, webcast, in-person briefing, or industry conference)\n\nWhat You'll Need:\nRequired:\nProficiency in exploitation techniques that are commonly seen in exploits for userspace and kernel-level vulnerabilities.\n\nKnowledge of common network service exploitation techniques.\n\nSolid understanding of at least two operating system platforms, including Microsoft Windows.\n\nFamiliarity with standard web-based exploitation vectors.\n\nCollaborative mindset, strong team player who enables others.\n\nProfound knowledge of reverse engineering tools (disassemblers, decompilers, debuggers) and processes (unpacking malware, reconstructing code logic, etc).\n\nKnowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python.\n\nAbility to effectively leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-assisted tools to accelerate vulnerability research, and exploit analysis while independently validating technical findings.\n\nProven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.\n\nAbility to express complex technical and non-technical concepts in verbal and graphical products.\n\nExcellent writing skills are mandatory.\n\nPreferred:\nExperience in attribution and intelligence analysis is a plus.\n\nA background in intelligence writing is a plus.\n\nExperience in writing Snort and YARA signatures is a plus.\n\nEducation:\nMA/MS or equivalent experience in Computer Science, or a related field\n\nLocation:\nRemote, with the possibility of occasional travel.\n\nBenefits of Working at CrowdStrike:\nMarket leader in compensation and equity awards\n\nComprehensive physical and mental wellness programs\n\nCompetitive vacation and holidays for recharge\n\nPaid parental and adoption leaves\n\nProfessional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role\n\nEmployee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections\n\nVibrant office culture with world class amenities\n\nGreat Place to Work Certified™ across the globe\n\nCrowdStrike is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
