🚀 Why This Job Isn’t Just “Red Teaming”

CrowdStrike doesn’t just find vulnerabilities — they hunt adversaries. As a Penetration Tester, you’ll get paid to think like the bad guys and break into some of the most high-profile environments on the planet. Except here, instead of going to jail, you’ll be building reports, helping defenders harden systems, and flexing your skills against real-world enterprise defenses.

If you love the adrenaline rush of finding that one overlooked misconfig and turning it into domain admin, welcome home.

🛡️ What You’ll Do

• Perform penetration tests across apps, networks, endpoints, and cloud.

• Emulate adversary techniques (yes, red team fun included).

• Stay sharp by researching new exploits, tools, and attack surfaces.

• Proficiency with common tools and custom exploit development.

• Strong understanding of attack methodologies (OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK).

• Bonus: experience in cloud pentesting (AWS, GCP, Azure) and mobile apps.

🌟 Why CrowdStrike?

• Work with one of the most recognized names in cybersecurity.

• Engage with a wide range of clients — no two projects are the same.

• Collaborate with elite red + blue teams who live and breathe threat intel.

• Competitive pay, remote flexibility, and a research-driven culture.

• Your work directly impacts how enterprises defend against advanced threats.

• Be ready to walk through an engagement you crushed and how.

• Apply via CrowdStrike’s career site or DamnJobs — but don’t wait too long.
