About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a hands-on AWS threat hunter with strong technical and analytical skills, genuine curiosity about cloud attack techniques, experience hunting for evidence of adversarial activity, and the ability to develop defensive capabilities to counter them. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of hands-on threat hunting experience in cloud environments, preferably AWS.
You will work with complex, high-profile organizations across the globe, conducting threat hunting in cloud environments to identify active and historical threats, reviewing cloud control plane configurations, and providing technical recommendations to reduce adversary opportunity in target environments.
What You’ll Do:
- Utilize the Falcon platform and threat intelligence to analyze cloud logs and identify historical and active threats.
- Baseline and review cloud security configurations, looking for anomalies associated with threat activity.
- Develop queries and scripts to work with large volumes of data, including correlating data across multiple sources and identifying outliers that may be indicative of threat activity.
- Identify identity and control plane configurations that may expose cloud environments to threats and unauthorized access.
- Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of client projects, including project management, communication, status updates, and task assignment.
- Produce high-quality written and verbal reports, presentations, recommendations, and findings for key stakeholders, including customer management, regulators, and legal counsel.
What You’ll Need:
Technical Skills:
- An in-depth understanding of cloud adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), including attack path chaining and enriching data with threat intelligence.
- An in-depth understanding of the AWS platform, including the following domains: logging, identity, networking, workload security, data security, and multi-account management practices.
- A solid grasp of AWS security architecture patterns, including log management architecture and automation patterns leveraging AWS-native services.
- A strong knowledge of security configuration and architecture of CI/CD pipelines
- A strong ability to write modular scripts and software tools in Python or Go to work with AWS services and Falcon APs.
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Communication Skills:
- A strong ability to verbally communicate technical concepts and findings in plain English to technical and non-technical audiences, including CISO-level stakeholders.
- Excellent technical writing skills and ability to produce high-quality written reports and presentations for internal stakeholders and CrowdStrike clients.
- Attention to details, time management, delegation. This is a consulting role and excellent organizational skills are non-negotiable.
We care about what you know and what you can do, not the specific path you took to get here. Strong candidates will have built real depth in cloud platforms and security over time - whether through years in dedicated security roles, a background in cloud engineering or DevOps that shifted toward threat hunting, or any other route that got them to the same place. What matters is that the knowledge is solid and the skills are demonstrable.
