  About the Role:

  The CrowdStrike Malware Research Center is the core of Falcon's malware detection and response capabilities. The team has a focus on understanding the threat landscape and sets the target for what Falcon should be identifying and preventing. Additionally, the MRC is responsible for understanding our capabilities, and mapping how well our machine learning and behavioral protection capabilities are doing against those threats. Where there is a gap, the MRC takes action to improve our detection stance, and improve our overall protection story. MRC also performs pathfinding research to enable technology development using innovation, prototyping and bleeding edge machine learning to support our flagship Falcon product. There are many parts of CrowdStrike working towards protecting customer environments, and the MRC works across all of them to ensure we are on target and providing the best protection for our current Threat landscape.

  What You'll Do:

  Leading the charge for understanding the activity of malware today is the Threat Research team. With a focus on malware research, the primary role of the team is to understand relevant threats and techniques used in malware that is threatening our customer's business. The challenge is the enormous scale of malware today and sheer number of samples required to be addressed. This takes a more creative approach than traditional Anti-Virus research, focusing on one sample at a time. The modern threat lab requires an economy of scale through automation and machine learning to allow people to focus on new learnings, and let systems continue to identify malware based on what the team has learned.

  Manager, Threat Research:With a challenging role comes the requirement for a skilled manager with a background in threat research and reverse engineering.Leading a team of threat researchers requires solid people managing skills for helping grow the team and supporting them in being successful in the organization.Additionally, the team's manager must have a solid understanding of the technical requirements of the positions reporting to them in order to provide proper guidance and help grow the team's technical skills.What You'll Need: The technical Manager position in CrowdStrike is not defined as a progression from an individual contributor. It is a unique career path focusing on excellence in supporting the business through scaling out their technical expertise while also focusing on supporting a team of candidates from new college hires to senior engineers.There is minimal hands-on threat research in the role, but the expectation of having the background and prior experience with the role is required.This is a career track where you transition from your individual contributor role to being a leader and mentor to the organization, providing guidance, understanding business requirements, and helping your team achieve success in those requirements.Solid interpersonal skills are a must, along with a strong sense of empathy, to help guide employees through understanding where they are in their career and technical path.A proven background in advanced reverse engineering on file-based threats is required.Additional reverse engineering around file-less threats, exploits, and other attach techniques are desirable to be demonstrated at a moderate skill level.A good working knowledge of malware based automation workflows and techniques is required.Efficiency of the team is important and can only be achieved in today's malware environment through a high degree of automation. The Threat Research team is supported by an engineering team, but proof of concept automation is produced by researchers. Showing competence handing off research to engineering to produce results is required.Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science or comparable field required.8+ year's experience in the threat research field with a focus on malware analysis required, with at least a couple of years spent in the management track.Strong communications skills, with the ability to demonstrate leadership and team building expertise required.#LI-VJ1
