About the role

CrowdStrike is looking for a technically strong, self-directed cloud security professional to join our Professional Services team in the JAPAC region. This is a hands-on role for someone with genuine curiosity about cloud attack techniques and a drive to build the detection and defensive capability to counter them. You'll work with complex, high-profile organisations across the region, helping them understand where they're exposed, sharpen their detection capabilities, and close the gaps that adversaries look for. The work demands both technical depth and client credibility, so you'll need to be effective at both.

Requirements

Cloud Platforms

Strong practical experience with AWS and Azure, including identity, compute, networking, storage, serverless, and logging and monitoring services.

A solid grasp of cloud architecture patterns and where security assumptions tend to break down in practice.

GCP experience is a plus, but not a requirement.

Detection Engineering

Experience building detection content that works: writing queries, developing alerting logic, and cutting through noise in cloud-native and third-party SIEM/XDR environments.

A working knowledge of how threat actors operate in cloud environments, and the ability to translate that into detections that actually fire on the right things.

Cloud Security Configuration Analysis

Experience tracing how misconfigurations chain together into realistic attack paths - analysis that tells a coherent story rather than producing a list of isolated findings.

Familiarity with common cloud attack patterns: privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration.

Automation and Tooling

Solid scripting ability in Python or equivalent, comfortable building tools to automate assessment tasks, work with large datasets, and extend existing frameworks.

Experience writing queries across platforms such as KQL, SPL, or cloud-native query engines.

Comfortable using AI tooling to sharpen and accelerate their work - whether for code generation, data analysis, query development, or documentation - with enough critical judgement to know when the output needs work.

Communication

Strong written and verbal communication in English. You can write a finding that prompts a CISO to act and explain a detection gap to an engineer without losing either audience.

Comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders and managing client relationships directly.

Able to adapt your approach across different business cultures. The JAPAC region spans markets with very different expectations around communication, hierarchy, and directness, and working effectively across that range is part of the job.

Additional language proficiency is a strong advantage, particularly Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, or Thai.

Bonus Areas

Detection engineering experience in traditional enterprise environments: on-pr
