We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. 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 proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work.

About the Role:

Our CrowdStrike Data Science Machine Learning Operations and Response Team is looking for a Threat Analyst who is both customer- and team-focused. This role will include both response and pro-active aspects. This role will be perfect for anyone who has experience involving detections and/or reverse engineering. The primary responsibility of this role will be to analyze malware and detections by investigating individual customer detection tickets. This team is focused on improving detection capability and efficiency through analysis of malware or other threat detections impacting our customer base. Experience with detections of potentially malicious behavior by machine learning models is a plus.

Bring your passion for helping internal partners resolve questions about detections of potentially malicious activity by machine learning and our detection capability. Our goal for the team is to both help internal teams respond to customer-inquiries about threat detection and to provide information about the effects of our detections into the Data Science organization - including detection efficacy and managing false positive detections.

This role will work most closely with internal teams such as Technical Account Managers, Falcon Complete, Data Scientists and the Malware Research Center in Data Science.

What You'll Do:

• Analyze detection data including customer reports to determine which aspects of the machine learning models can be improved
• Perform tasks to enable better-management of false positive detections
• Analyze binary files to determine their legitimacy
• Review current product detections to ensure they are performing to the company standard
• Address internal questions and concerns regarding customer threat detections

• Exposure and understanding of different types and functionality of malware
• Experience with reverse engineering malware, or malware operations
• Knowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python
• Fundamental understanding of attributes of binary files such as imports/exports and packers
• Ability to demonstrate practical knowledge of research/collection skills and analytical methods
• General understanding of threat/risk management and threat/risk assessment
• Familiarity with various operating systems
• Ability to break down complex problems into workable components
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

• Experience in a security operations center or similar environment responding to incidents
• A thorough understanding of Windows OS internals and the Windows API
• Knowledge of MacOS and/or Linux
• Familiarity with tools used in targeted and criminal cyber-intrusions
• A background in exploit and vulnerability analysis
• Knowledge of a variety of programming languages including C, C++, Java, and assembly
• Experience with threat detections by machine learning.

• Market leader in compensation and equity awards
• Comprehensive physical and mental wellness programs
• Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
• Paid parental and adoption leaves
• Professional development opportunities for all employees regardless of level or role
• Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections

About the role

This is a Mid Level role in the Technology field (Cybersecurity) at CrowdStrike. Mid-level roles usually expect some years of relevant experience and the ability to work with limited supervision.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

• U.S. Department of Labor: Wage and Hour Division

US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $433,700, which is 5.9 times the median household income ($73,040); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 53.8% of households own their home, 16% below the state average (53.8% against 63.8%).

Work and pay

The Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA metropolitan area has 51,220 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,290 a year, 3% below the national median ($49,290 against $50,980).

The area is most specialised in food preparation and serving related (1.2 times) and office and administrative support (0.9 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are office and administrative support ($49,600) and food preparation and serving related ($42,920). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Chelan County was 3.1%. 63.3% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Chelan County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 75.0% drive alone, 2.8% use public transit, 2.5% walk, 6.8% work from home. 7.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 56% below the state average (7.5% against 16.9%).

People and education

28.8% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 27% below the state share (28.8% against 39.6%). 13.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 12% below the state share (13.7% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 10.4%, 5% above the state rate (10.4% against 9.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 64°F (17.5°C), and the coolest is Dec at 24°F (-4.4°C). About 810 mm (32 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (125 mm) and Jul the driest (13 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
