Senior Threat Detections Engineer (ROU, Hybrid)

 About the Role:

The CrowdStrike Endpoint Protection (EPP) Content Response team is seeking an experienced and passionate professional to analyze malware and threats ranging from prevalent to the most obscure, and to drive efforts to mitigate them by implementing robust coverage. The Content Response Team is focused on improving detection capability and efficiency for the Falcon Host platform through tactical analysis of ongoing attacks by criminal and nation state actors impacting our customer base. If you have demonstrable proficiency in either network/host-based intrusion analysis, digital forensics or cyber threat intelligence, and real-world experience dealing with advanced threat actors (nation-state, criminal, hacktivist or other), we might have a role for you!

The role requires independent work as well as the ability to work in a team environment. In this role, you will be expected to be a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and to lead projects to build tools and processes to support proactive threat hunting efforts. You will be expected to mentor other team members, and to actively participate in knowledge transfers both internal and external to the team. In addition, this role will require you to take initiative to identify and solve important issues facing our customers. Ultimately, you will work alongside the leaders within the team to set the technical direction and influence decision making that would have a direct impact on the product.

The role will be in a cutting-edge threat-hunting team regularly facing off against sophisticated malicious techniques and cyber criminals. 

We would like to hear from you if:

• You are capable and comfortable communicating information to both technical and executive-level stakeholders

• You have a deep understanding of the threat landscape and are experienced in applying that knowledge to identify trends to anticipate shifts in TTPs and to create detections 

• You can demonstrate experience in conventional network/host-based intrusion analysis, digital forensics or handling malware

• You are comfortable assessing cyber threat intelligence, open source intelligence or partner reporting

• You have real-world, hands-on experience dealing with sophisticated malware and dynamic cyber threat actors

• You have experience in a security operations center or similar environment tracking threat actors and responding to incidents

• You are looking for a dynamic, fast-paced and challenging role in an unconventional team environment

• You have knowledge of different operating system platforms (Windows, Unix, Mac)

• You are comfortable using AI-assisted tooling as a daily force multiplier, not just a novelty 

• You have working knowledge of programming, scripting languages, (in particular Python, Go, or Rust)

Bonus points awarded for:

• Contributions to the open source community (GitHub, Stack Overflow, blogging)

• Published research papers at conferences or through other mediums (blogs, articles)

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in information security, computer science or more than 5 years of equivalent work experience

• Demonstrated ability to convey technical concepts to audiences with varying technical prowess

• Willingness to teach and mentor others on the team
