About the Role:
The CrowdStrike Intelligence Team is seeking a motivated malware reverse engineer with excellent technical skills to analyze malware and perform technical research to support customer requests, incident response cases, and other internal CrowdStrike teams.
This is a highly technical position on a team within the Technical Analysis Cell (TAC), at the forefront of CrowdStrike's battles with nation state adversaries and criminal actors. The team is tasked with investigating and reverse engineering newly discovered, malicious artifacts and documenting analysis results as an intelligence report.
