Company mission

CrowdStrike is on a mission to stop breaches. Its purpose is to provide safety and security to some of the world’s largest, most influential companies and, by extension, the billions of people around the world who use their services.

Role

Who you are

  • Applied machine learning research expertise (2+ years) developing and deploying production systems
  • Skilled at extracting actionable insights from large, high-dimensional, sparse data across the machine learning pipeline and driving real-world impact
  • Self-starter with a thirst for new challenges and technologies
  • Comfortable with Python, Deep Learning frameworks (e.g. Tensorflow, Pytorch) and cloud technologies in a Linux environment
  • Expertise in training and fine-tuning LLMs using popular frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Hugging Face Transformers
  • Familiarity with GPU based technologies like CUDA, CuDNN and TensorRT
  • Interested to dive into the field of cybersecurity
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to simplify complex concepts
  • Robust problem-solving and critical-thinking skills

Desirable

  • PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field, with a focus on data science, machine learning or AI
  • Track record of research contributions, preferably in high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journals in the field of AI/ML

What the job involves

  • CrowdStrike is actively looking for Data Scientists to join our team building the next generation of AI assistants powered by large language models (LLMs)
  • You will work closely with other scientists, software engineers and product managers to guide the development of our assistants' underlying ML models and capabilities
  • We provide a fast-paced, innovative environment to create technology that improves people's lives
  • This is a unique opportunity to play an integral role in developing AI assistants that will revolutionize how we access information and interact with technology
  • Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, you'll apply your insights to tackle complex cybersecurity problems
  • This opportunity presents a dynamic, growth-oriented startup environment for a driven, research-focused professional
  • Research and prototype new AI/ML techniques to expand assistants' knowledge and skills in areas like reasoning, summarization, and interactivity
  • Design, develop, and productionize LLM-based models for integration into our industry-leading virtual assistant platform
  • Utilize large-scale, high-dimensional data to generate actionable insights, identify patterns, and visualize trends
  • Continuously collect data, monitor, and improve assistant performance through testing and deployment of updated self-hosted fine-tuned models
  • Establish scalable ML architecture and pipelines to deploy large language model innovations into 24/7 production environments
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align model updates with product roadmap and user needs
  • Disseminate findings through publications and presentations, bolstering CrowdStrike's thought leadership in AI/ML applications in cybersecurity
  • Collaborate with other data scientists and engineers, nurturing a culture of continuous learning and curiosity

Our take

Since CrowdStrike was founded by a trio of former McAfee executives in 2011, it’s grown into a thousands-strong, NASDAQ-listed company. With customers including Verizon, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs, it’s considered one of the world’s top enterprise cybersecurity vendors along with the likes of Cisco, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks.

One of the reasons behind CrowdStrike's continued success is its ability to keep pace with the evolving tech market, for instance with its Generative AI security analyst that leverages recent developments in AI. Although not immune to the slowdown of the global economy, the company's modular design has given it the upper hand, allowing clients to consolidate their security spend with CrowdStrike instead of selecting packages from multiple vendors at a higher overall cost.

With long-term demand for cybersecurity products growing, and its reputation as strong as ever, CrowdStrike shows no signs of slowing down. It has partnered with Ignition Technology to double down on its UK presence, and continues to be a voice in the wider market through its "Falcon Fund" investment vehicle and position as a founding member of NIST's Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC).
