About The Position

As a global leader in cybersecurity, CrowdStrike protects the people, processes and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform. We work on large scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day and this traffic is growing daily. Our customers span all industries, and they count on CrowdStrike to keep their businesses running, their communities safe and their lives moving forward. We're proud to work for a mission-driven company leveraging AI to transform the way we work. CrowdStrikers drive their careers through flexibility and autonomy while also being expected to contribute to a culture of responsible AI adoption, experimentation, and innovation. We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex problems. We’re always looking to add talented CrowdStrikers to the team who have limitless passion, a relentless focus on innovation and a fanatical commitment to our customers, our community and each other. Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. CrowdStrike is seeking a Corporate Sales Engineer passionate about the cybersecurity space to support both pre-sales and account management within our SLED (State, Local, and Education) segment. You'll partner closely with Account Executives to acquire new customers — and just as importantly, to retain, grow, and deepen relationships with the customers we already serve. That means presenting our platform to prospective clients to increase the likelihood of closing sales, then staying with those accounts as their trusted technical advisor to drive adoption, expansion, and renewal. You'll be part of a team dedicated to changing customer perception of endpoint technology by articulating the limitations and failures of legacy security solutions and demonstrating the value of our next-generation offering — including how organizations securely adopt AI, from the models, agents, and data they deploy to the AI-powered adversaries now targeting them. SLED customers are unlike any other segment. You'll work with security teams of one or two people protecting an entire school district, with CISOs navigating grant funding cycles, and with state agencies balancing modernization against strict compliance mandates. The technical work is challenging and the impact is tangible. This position offers the flexibility of 100% remote work for candidates located within the United States.
