About the Role:

The CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations (CAO) team is seeking a passionate cyber professional to join our rapidly growing team tasked with defending CAO Elite customers and understanding their adversaries.

As an Automation Engineer at CrowdStrike, you will be focused on advanced agentic AI capabilities and sophisticated workflows for CAO Elite analysts and the customers they protect. You will combine solid software development fundamentals with hands-on use of CrowdStrike's rapidly expanding AI and automation capabilities, including Charlotte AI and Falcon Fusion SOAR. You will deliver solutions that go well beyond out-of-the-box functionality. The team and the technology it works with are evolving quickly, so you will also help shape the focus, tooling, and best practices as they take form.

What You'll Do:

Agentic Capability Development: Design, build, and refine AI agents and agent-driven workflows that help Elite analysts investigate threats, enrich detections, and act on intelligence on behalf of customers.
Workflow Automation: Develop advanced automated workflows that coordinate actions across the Falcon platform and integrated third-party tools.
Software Development: Write and maintain code (e.g., Python) for tools, integrations, and supporting services where platform capabilities alone aren't enough.
Testing and Reliability: Test, evaluate, and monitor agents and workflows for accuracy, safety, and consistent performance. Troubleshoot issues and improve solutions over time. Make sure safeguards, such as human approval for sensitive actions, are in place before solutions reach customer environments.
Analyst Partnership: Work closely with Elite analysts to understand their workflows and customer needs, and turn them into practical solutions. Create documentation and run enablement sessions so analysts can get the most out of what you build.
Staying Current: Keep up with the fast-moving AI and automation landscape, and suggest ways to bring new capabilities into our operations.

What You'll Need: Required:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
2+ years of experience in software development, automation engineering, or a related technical role.
Proficiency in Python or a similar language.
Experience working with REST APIs and integrating systems and data (e.g., JSON).
Hands-on experience applying LLMs or AI tools in technical work, such as prompt engineering, building with LLM APIs, or AI-assisted development.
Ability to learn quickly and stay productive in a fast-changing environment with evolving priorities and loosely defined requirements.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-developer audiences.
Ability to work Central European Time (CET/CEST) or U.S. Eastern Time (ET) business hours.

Preferred:

Experience building AI agents or agentic workflows, such as tool use, multi-step orchestration, knowledge bases/RAG, or evaluating agent output.
Experience workflow automation platforms.
Background in security operations, threat hunting, incident response, or threat intelligence. Familiarity with CrowdStrike Falcon or similar EDR/XDR/SIEM platforms.
Familiarity with Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence) and Slack integrations or bots. Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD practices.
Location: Remote, within CET/CEST or U.S. Eastern Time zones.
