Sr. Threat Detection Engineer - XDR/NGSIEM

About the Role:

The CrowdStrike Next-Generation Security Information and Event Management (NG SIEM)  Response team is seeking an experienced and passionate professional to analyze threat actor tactics ranging from prevalent to the most obscure, and to drive efforts to mitigate them by implementing robust coverage. The team is focused on improving detection capability and efficacy for the Falcon NG SIEM platform through tactical analysis of ongoing attacks by criminal and nation state actors impacting our customer base.

You will be expected to mentor other team members, and to actively participate in knowledge transfers both internal and external to the team.

Ultimately, you will work alongside the leaders within the team to set the technical direction and influence decision making that would have a direct impact on the product.
