Engineer III - Vulnerability Detection

CrowdStrike CrowdStrike · Enterprise · Pune, India

This role focuses on developing AI-enhanced vulnerability detection capabilities within CrowdStrike's Exposure Management group. The engineer will research and implement AI-driven solutions, including generative AI tools and AI agent workflows, to automate vulnerability analysis, proof-of-concept development, and detection rule creation. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to detect, track, report, and prioritize vulnerabilities, with a strong emphasis on AI agent workflows for multi-step validation processes.

What you'd actually do

  1. Collaborate and lead a Team of Vulnerability Detection Engineers and Researchers to plan, coordinate and execute Vulnerability Detection Coverage for Exposure Management Supported Platforms
  2. Participate and lead Company Thought Leadership efforts and guidance for analysis on prevalent vulnerabilities and Risk Based Vulnerability Management.
  3. Vulnerability data discovery and validation (Data efficacy & Accuracy)
  4. Collaborate with multi-functional teams across various physical locations including product management and other engineering disciplines.
  5. AI-Enhanced Vulnerability Detection Research: Leverage generative AI tools to accelerate vulnerability analysis, proof-of-concept development, and detection rule creation while maintaining human oversight for validation and detection accuracy.
  6. Intelligent Vulnerability Assessment Pipeline: Design and implement AI agent workflows to automate multi-step vulnerability validation processes (e.g., discovery, analysis, prioritization, remediation guidance) while ensuring human-in-the-loop verification for critical vulnerability detections and false positive reduction.
  7. Lead and manage other projects as assigned
