Specialist Sales, AI Security (AI Detection Response)

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. 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 AI Detection and Response (AIDR) solution that helps customers protect and secure their agents, AI models and their workforce using AI. Securing GenAI is one of humanity’s largest challenges, greatest new frontiers, and critical missions for the evolution of society. This is why we are looking for the best of the best – trailblazers who have helped to not only create product categories before, but proven the ability to successfully navigate uncharted waters and learn and educate customers, team members, and communities effectively and at scale. The AIDR Specialist Team enhances CrowdStrike’s ability to grow, position, sell, and maintain business securing GenAI and agentic applications across all geographic sales theaters.
