About the Role:
As the manager responsible for our GovCloud Threat Research Engineering in MRC, you will lead a team of researchers and engineers to ensure our government customers have the most up-to-date coverage for emerging threats. The challenge is the enormous scale of malware today and sheer number of samples required to be addressed. This takes a more creative approach than traditional Anti-Virus research, focusing on one sample at a time. The modern threat lab requires an economy of scale through automation and machine learning to allow people to focus on new learnings, and let systems continue to identify malware based on what the team has learned.
Malware Research Center:
CrowdStrike's Malware Research Center (MRC) is at the core of Falcon's malware detection and response capabilities. As an MRC team member, you'll analyze the threat landscape and drive improvements to our machine learning and behavioral protection capabilities. Where there is a gap, MRC takes action to improve our detection stance and protection story. There are many parts of CrowdStrike working towards protecting our customers and MRC works across all of them to ensure we are providing the best protection for the current threat landscape. Help us stop breaches with your expertise.
