About the Role:

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 is just starting or considering a career involving detections and 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.

Due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will be required to work on Saturdays and Sundays. However, there is some flexibility around a 4- or 5-day work week including the start and end days for the work week, which is open to discussion.
