The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

Help us protect Crowd Strike and its customers from the most advanced threats by assessing, designing, and implementing security controls and systems associated with all aspects of the software supply chain.

You will perform technical security assessments of Git Hub organizations and open-source integrations, monitor for malicious packages, create tooling for known gaps, and create automations to make operations more efficient. Additionally, you will collaborate on cross-cutting projects to further harden internal and public-facing source code repositories against active and emerging threats.
