About the Role
Here at CrowdStrike an international team of researchers, engineers and malware analysts develop a high-end malware analysis framework with an agile and open architecture called Falcon Sandbox. Our system processes thousands of executable files, scripts and documents and “detonates” them fully automated in an isolated environment.
During the detonation phase, the system monitors all file system, network activity (including deep packet inspection), process creation/injection and memory analysis.

This allows reliable detection of unknown threats and zero-day exploits in the wild.
Our mission is to have a real impact on people’s lives at a global scale and work on innovative high-tech malware hunting technology, engage partnerships with other vendors, initiatives and present at international conferences.
