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. We are often the first to analyze previously unknown threats. The team encounters a variety of malicious artifacts and file types; the ability to quickly learn new analysis techniques is crucial for this role. We respond quickly when needed and perform equally well at conducting detailed analysis. Communication and collaboration with other teams of CrowdStrike is highly important to facilitate this.

As a distributed international team, we are looking for an energetic self-starter with the ability to take ownership and be accountable for deliverables while at the same time supporting and helping to improve upon our analysis workflow.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide timely identification and summarization of threats to customers.

  • Respond to technical questions by other teams within CrowdStrike.

  • Continually improve our malware-analysis workflow.

  • Extract configuration data from malware using in-house tools and manual analysis.

  • Track relations between new threats and existing actors using in-house tools.

  • Contribute to active mitigation efforts and support incident response engagements with malware analysis capabilities and technical expertise.

  • Document threat evolutions and intelligence gaps for the broader Intelligence Team.

What You’ll Need:

  • Team player: someone who is eager to help, teach, and learn from others

  • Malware analysis experience

  • Strong problem-solving skills

  • Ability to express complex technical and non-technical concepts

  • Ability to learn new analysis techniques quickly, especially when faced with less-common file types

  • Excellent writing skills

  • Knowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python

Bonus Points:

  • In-depth knowledge of Windows and UNIX-based platforms

  • Experience in binary instrumentation

  • Experience identifying and classifying malicious tooling through development of signatures that can be used for tracking and hunting purposes
