About The Role
CrowdStrike is looking for a highly motivated, self-driven Incident Response Analyst to support specialized initiatives within the incident-response lifecycle—serving as a core member of TIER, a team within CSIRT focused on escalations, training, research, and strategic projects.
In this role, you’ll design and run training exercises, lead high-impact initiatives from leadership, take ownership of escalations, and conduct in-depth technical research to strengthen our ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across the organization. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with seasoned Incident Responders to drive continuous improvement across our world-class security team.
* Do you find yourself interested in putting your hands-on technical skills to the test in investigating and resolving escalated incidents?
* Are you self-motivated and looking for an opportunity to broaden your expertise through research, training, and operational initiatives?
* Are you ready to dive into logs, endpoint telemetry, and threat intelligence to uncover the scope and cause of an event?
* Do you enjoy working around like-minded security professionals in a world class team who you can both learn from and mentor on a daily basis?
* Are you looking for a role where your contributions to training, research, and process design directly strengthen future investigations?
* Do you enjoy collaborating with a diverse, high-performing team and explaining technical risk to stakeholders who depend on your insights?
What You’ll Do
* Develop and deliver scenario-based training exercises for CSIRT to strengthen investigative skills and readiness.
* Take ownership of projects assigned by CSIRT leadership, implementing improvements that enhance workflows, tools, and response effectiveness.
* Manage escalated incidents by gathering and analyzing evidence from logs, endpoint telemetry, and threat-intel sources; perform and adapt investigative or containment actions from playbooks—such as host isolation, phishing email removal —and confirm remediation.
* Conduct in-depth research on topics that support team operations and improve investigative capabilities.
* Maintain clear documentation of investigative steps, evidence, decisions, and project progress to support transparency and knowledge sharing.
* Identify gaps in detection coverage, workflows, or tooling, and collaborate on new detection logic, playbook refinements, and automation opportunities.
* Contribute to the creation and maintenance of runbooks, knowledge articles, and other deliverables that strengthen CSIRT’s incident response capabilities.
What You’ll Need
* Demonstrated experience leading incident investigations from escalation through resolution, leveraging multiple data sources and coordinating with cross-functional teams.
* Proficiency with EDR platforms (e.g., Falcon), SIEM/SOAR technologies, and network forensics tools (e.g., Zeek, Suricata, Wireshark) to support deep investigations.
* Advanced investigative skills, including host- and network-level log analysis, endpoint telemetry review, and use of threat intelligence to determine scope and impact.
* Strong knowledge of Windows, macOS, and Linux internals, as well as digital forensics techniques for memory, disk, and network artifact analysis.
* Ability to perform basic to intermediate malware analysis, both static and dynamic, to extract indicators, understand behavior, and inform investigative or detection strategies.
* Proven ability to conduct in-depth research on topics that support team operations and improve investigative capabilities, and to translate findings into actionable outcomes.
* Solid understanding of network protocols (HTTP/S, DNS, SMTP, SMB, Kerberos) and the ability to analyze packet captures.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present investigative findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Experience conducting cloud-focused incident response in AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
* Ability to design and deliver scenario-based training to enhance investigative skills and operational readiness.
Bonus Points
* Advanced scripting or development experience (Python, PowerShell, Bash, or Perl) to create custom investigative tooling, automate complex data analysis, or integrate new data sources into investigative workflows.
* Expertise as a SIEM power user, capable of executing advanced, investigation-driven searches, building specialized dashboards, and developing or refining high-fidelity detections.
* Experience performing malware reverse engineering to extract indicators, analyze functionality, and produce tailored detection or mitigation strategies.
* Proven track record of publishing threat research, presenting at security conferences, or contributing to industry-wide knowledge sharing.
Education
* A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, or a related field is welcome — but not required. Candidates who can demonstrate equivalent, hands-on experience in incident response, threat research, or digital forensics will receive full consideration.
* Applicable security certifications (e.g., GCFA, GREM, GNFA, GCTI).
Benefits Of Working At CrowdStrike

* Market leader in compensation and equity awards
* Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
* Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
* Paid parental and adoption leaves
* Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
