About the Role:
The Falcon Cloud Security (FCS) Detection Engineering team enables CrowdStrike’s primary mission of Stopping the Breach, through a shift-left approach that focuses on helping customers of cloud computing manage their risk posture. We do this by writing and maintaining detection rules that assess cloud assets to identify risks and opportunities for improvement. We start by using research to define best practices for cloud security, which we translate into detection rules we author and deploy as code into the FCS product ecosystem. In addition to posture management, the Detection Engineering team researches threats to cloud services & assets, and writes detection rules to identify abuses and attacks.
This role combines a blend of skill sets including security operations & incident response, data analytics, risk management, software development, and threat research. If you enjoy researching cloud security issues and developing detection content as code, all in a fast-paced environment with broad collaboration across a diverse team, this role is for you.

As a member of the Falcon Cloud Security Detection Engineering team, you will be responsible for performing research into cloud threats, vulnerabilities, and abuses, to determine configuration best practices that can be used to secure cloud services and assets. You will also be responsible for developing and deploying detection rules as code into the FCS product ecosystem along with writing descriptions that customers will use to understand and action alerts generated by these rules.
While this role is being sourced in the EMEA global region, the core of the FCS Detection Engineering team is US-based.
