Job description

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We’re also a mission-driven company. We cultivate a culture that gives every CrowdStriker both the flexibility and autonomy to own their careers. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Our University Recruiting program is dedicated to attracting and cultivating the future leaders of this industry. This program offers paid positions for students and recent grads, designed to provide exposure to work that makes an impact while being supported through a structured experience with seasoned professionals. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About the Role:

The Intelligence Analyst Internship is fully remote and requires no travel. Your work location is the city/town/province you will be working from remotely. Interns are also invited to work out of the CrowdStrike office located closest to their remote location.

What You'll Do:

The team you are applying to – the Applied Research Cell (ARC) — lives at the intersection between software engineering, malware analysis, and cyber threat intelligence connecting the two worlds of reverse engineering and forward engineering. To that extent we are working closely with different teams from the wider mission with the end-goal of tracking the most advanced threat actors and ultimately stopping breaches.

ARC Interns will be assisted during the development of projects with well-defined deadlines. The goal is to approach the following topics:

  • Conducting and evaluating open source research on cyber threats.

  • Learning cyber security concepts and threat actor Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs).

  • Conducting research on predetermined malware families and learning about various triage techniques.

  • Developing tools and integrating them to high-scale malware processing pipelines.

The internship will be scoped in a project to be completed during 12 weeks.

What You'll Need:

  • Currently completing your penultimate year of University (2027 graduate) and be working towards a BA or BS / MA or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math, Information Security, Information Assurance, Information Security Management, Intelligence Studies, Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity Policy, or a related field.

  • An eagerness to learn through hands-on experience and collaborative projects specific to your internship field.

  • Although CrowdStrike is a primarily remote company, collaboration is intrinsic to the success of our mission. Therefore, the strongest applicants will be those who can communicate effectively and frequently, and work well with fellow interns and employees.

  • Experience in malware research.

  • Experience with programming (Python, C or similar languages).

Bonus Points:

  • Having an investigative mindset and desire to stop evil.

  • Self motivated and actively seeking opportunities for growth.

  • Desire to rapidly increase skill set.

  • Crave new and innovative work.

This is a 12 week part-time internship commencing on Monday 5th October and completing on Thursday 24th December.
