About the Role:
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.
