About the Role:

This is a 12 week internship starting on Monday 2nd June 2025 and completing on Friday 22nd August. The Intelligence Analyst Internship is fully remote and requires no travel. Your work location is the city/town/province you will be working from remotely. Interns are also invited to work out of the CrowdStrike office located closest to their remote location.

What You'll Do:

The Advanced Research Team (ART) within CrowdStrike Intelligence is responsible for researching and publishing on topics related to information security, providing technical expertise to other teams, developing tools to support analysts in their day-to-day duties, and collecting technical artifacts about adversary activity. Aside from working on longer-term research and collection projects, ART is required to provide unique solutions on short notice to serve ad-hoc needs by other teams within CrowdStrike Intelligence.

Interns within ART will be assigned a project based on their individual skillset and team needs at the time of the internship, on topics including but not limited to:

  • Develop automated solutions for collecting, processing and analyzing data at scale, e.g. malware samples, network traffic, or Internet-wide scanning data

    • Analyze vendor patches to recover vulnerability information

  • An eagerness to learn through hands-on experience and collaborative projects specific to your internship field.

  • Although CrowdStrike is a primarily remote company, collaboration is intrinsic to the success of our mission. Therefore, the strongest applicants will be those who can communicate effectively and frequently, and work well with fellow interns and employees.

  • At least two of the following skills:

    • Software development experience, ideally in Python

    • Information security background, e.g. experience in vulnerability research or reverse engineering

  • Experience with mobile platforms and operating systems (e.g. Android, iOS)

  • Experience with the Go or Rust programming languages

  • Having an investigative mindset and desire to stop evil.
