About the Role:
At CrowdStrike, we stop breaches and empower organizations to stay ahead of adversaries. Following the recent acquisition of Pangea, that mission has expanded to deliver a powerful AIDR solution that helps customers protect and secure their agents, AI models and workloads and their workforce using AI.
That’s why we’re not just looking for candidates with impressive resumes; we’re seeking pioneers. We’re on a quest to enrich our team with individuals who bring more than just expertise - we want trailblazers who have navigated the realms we’re venturing into. Your experience in this new field won't just be valued; it will be the cornerstone of our journey towards innovation. At the core of this is our people. It’s important to inspire, support, and enable one another, so we've chosen a diverse group of talented, compassionate, and fun people to work with. The work is challenging but also allows for great flexibility to prioritize off-work commitments. We’ve found this to be the perfect mix for us. If you see yourself as a great match, we’d love nothing more than for you to join us at the forefront of innovation as our new Specialist Sales Engineer!
