[Hiring] Detection Engineer @CrowdStrike

Role Description

The Falcon Complete Detection Engineering (FCDE) team builds and maintains the NG-SIEM detection ruleset that powers CrowdStrike's managed detection and response capability. The team develops high-fidelity detections driven by threat intelligence and real-world observations, including rapid response to zero-days and emerging threats, filling detection gaps across a broad range of third-party data sources where adversaries increasingly operate. FCDE also builds and refines AI-powered tooling to maximize the speed and fidelity of detection development at scale. Engineers collaborate across the full pipeline, from ingestion and parsing to response and automation, to improve triage efficiency and accelerate threat disruption.

• Develop, test, and deploy actionable high fidelity CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM detection rules to enable a world class Managed Detection and Response team.
• Conduct code reviews and testing to ensure rules meet our quality and performance expectations prior to deployment at scale.
• Leverage CI/CD best practices and principles to deploy detections as code.
• Contribute to and leverage an AI-powered detection engineering ecosystem, including LLM-assisted tooling and coding agents, to accelerate threat research, rule development, and detection workflow automation.
• Collaborate with SIEM architects to develop and define best practices for parsing data and normalizing data to a common event schema.
• Build and maintain utilities and tools to enable the managed services team to operate efficiently and at a large scale.
