About the Role

CrowdStrike's Product Abuse team sits at the intersection of threat intelligence, detection engineering, and platform security - defending the Falcon platform against sophisticated adversaries. As a Sr. Engineer, you'll lead threat hunting operations, architect detection and prevention capabilities, and drive security enhancements across our product portfolio. You'll operate at both strategic and tactical levels alongside a close-knit team of industry-leading engineers, with direct and measurable impact on CrowdStrike's security posture at global scale.

What You'll Do

• Lead threat hunting operations against emergent threat activity involving platform misuse - to determine impact and drive resolution

• Design and implement monitoring solutions to detect anomalies and potential abuse across external-facing services, APIs, and authentication surfaces

• Lead technical aspects of incident response, including attack vector analysis, countermeasure implementation, and post-incident review

• Develop automation and purpose-built tooling to streamline detection, mitigation, and reporting workflows

• Instrument event-driven tooling to drive hunting efficiency and proactive prevention of evolving TTPs

• Conduct regular security assessments and testing simulations targeting external attack surfaces and abuse vectors

• Advocate for and drive product security enhancements across the Falcon platform, influencing engineering teams to build abuse resistance into the product

• Implement and refine logging strategies to enhance visibility into potential abuse scenarios across cloud-native infrastructure

• Contribute to roadmap and strategic planning for abuse prevention, balancing proactive and reactive capabilities

• Support follow-the-sun operational coverage as part of a globally distributed team

What You Need:

• Motivated self-starter with 7+ years of experience in a cybersecurity engineering or threat intelligence environment, with a significant focus on threat hunting, attack mitigation, and tooling

• Proficiency in security automation and tool development

• Practical experience with cloud computing platform security services - particularly as they relate to infrastructure protection, identity and access management, and continuous monitoring

• Deep familiarity with abuse-relevant attack patterns including credential stuffing, account takeover, API abuse, trial fraud, and adversarial misuse of security tooling

• Ability to identify when external-facing services are exceeding baselines and correlate deviations with potential attack indicators

• Comprehensive understanding of TTPs employed by threat actors and the evolving threat landscape, including nation-state and eCrime actors

• Passionate about taking initiative to identify and develop enrichments and enhanced visibility

• Enthusiasm for collaboration across functional teams - including Product & Engineering - to drive platform-wide abuse resistance

Bonus Points:

• Experience leveraging AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools as a force multiplier - accelerating tooling development, detection engineering, and automation at a pace beyond traditional workflows

• Experience applying data science techniques - such as machine learning, neural networks, or streaming anomaly detection - to generate threat signals, identify behavioral outliers, or integrate disparate datasets at enterprise scale

• Experience with front-end UI design, including contributions to large and complex codebases using HTML5, JavaScript, React, or similar technologies

• Experience with SIEM platforms (e.g., LogScale) for large-scale threat hunting and detection engineering

• Experience with identity and authentication systems, including OAuth, SAML, MFA bypass techniques, and session abuse patterns

• Expertise in designing and implementing robust network and cloud security measures, and comprehensive logging and monitoring for threat detection and incident response

• Experience operating in or supporting a follow-the-sun security operations model

• Strong background in OSINT, cybercrime investigations, or intelligence collection involving complex adversarial networks

• Background in trust and safety, fraud detection, or abuse engineering at a SaaS or cloud platform

• Familiarity with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and its sensor, cloud, and API architecture

Soft Skills

• Exceptional problem-solving abilities with a methodical approach to complex, ambiguous security challenges

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive stakeholders

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a globally distributed, collaborative team

• Excellent time management and ability to prioritize effectively under pressure

• Passion for continuous learning and staying current with emerging threats, adversary tradecraft, and the abuse landscape
