Role Description
Help us protect CrowdStrike and its customers from the most advanced threats by securing our applications. CrowdStrike’s Product Security team breaks the mold of traditional internal security, and focuses on active threats to CrowdStrike’s products.

You’ll hunt for security defects and play a part in fixing those defects rather than just reporting them and hoping for the best. Additionally, you will be involved in cross-cutting projects to further harden internal systems and processes against active and emerging threats.
