Ready to join a mission that's matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you. About the Role: Help us protect CrowdStrike and its customers from the most advanced threats by securing our applications. CrowdStrike’s Product Security team breaks the mold of traditional internal security, and focuses on active threats to CrowdStrike’s products. As a Senior Application Security Engineer you will dig deep into web applications, find design and implementation flaws, help our product engineers fix defects, and play a role in shipping secure code. You’ll be actively involved in fixing defects rather than just reporting them and hoping for the best. Additionally, you will be integral to cross-cutting projects to further harden internal systems and processes against active and emerging threats.
