About Us:

CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations, a core component of CrowdStrike, is seeking a motivated reverse engineer with excellent technical skills to research nation state adversary operations used in targeted intrusions. Our Technical Analysis Cell (TAC) is at the forefront of CrowdStrike’s mission against state-sponsored adversaries and criminal actors. We combine intelligence analysis with deep-dive reverse engineering and malicious code analysis, in addition to building and using automation systems to deliver actionable indicators and operational insights.

This highly technical position on the TAC Targeted Intrusion team serves an important role in conducting research, increasing our coverage of the global threat landscape, contributing to the  continuous tracking of targeted intrusion and nation state adversaries, and ultimately developing finished intelligence products that provide a decision advantage to customers.

  • Collaborate across teams to inform various functions within CrowdStrike Intelligence and beyond about activity of interest, to coordinate adversary and campaign tracking, and to provide support to teams developing mitigation strategies and responding to incidents.

What You'll Need:

  • Knowledge of reverse engineering tools (disassemblers, decompilers, debuggers) and processes (unpacking malware, reconstructing code logic, etc) combined with ongoing interest and ability to learn and self-teach new techniques.

  • Knowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python.

  • Ability to accurately express complex technical and non-technical concepts in written, verbal and graphical products.

  • Strong problem solving skills are a must.

  • Team player.

Bonus Points:

  • Ability to interpret raw network data and to develop network signatures, as well as custom protocol decoders and decryption tools.
