About the role

The Engineering Manager, Malware Research Center will lead a team of engineers dedicated to supporting MRC's activities by building the tools and systems required for Falcon, threat researchers, and other teams within the Research & Development and Data Science organizations - including AI/ML-powered pipelines and GenAI-assisted research tooling. The Engineering Manager is expected to coordinate with leadership, plan, and oversee execution of multiple concurrent projects to help improve the product while maintaining hands-on technical involvement. This person should be capable of independent execution, problem solving, and demonstrate passion towards engineering excellence while driving and inspiring a high-performing engineering team. About the Team - Malware Research Center: The CrowdStrike Malware Research Center is the core of Falcon's malware detection and response capabilities. The team has a focus on understanding the threat landscape and sets the target for what Falcon should be identifying and preventing. Additionally, the MRC is responsible for understanding Falcon's capabilities, and mapping how well the machine learning and behavioral protection capabilities are doing against those threats. Where there is a gap, the MRC takes action to improve our detection stance and improve our overall protection story. There are many parts of CrowdStrike working towards protecting customer environments, and the MRC works across all of them to ensure we are on target and providing the best protection for our current threat landscape.
