About the Role

The CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations (CAO) team defends CAO Elite customers and tracks the adversaries targeting them. Within CAO, the automation function builds AI agents and automated workflows, using tools such as Charlotte AI and Falcon Fusion SOAR, that help Elite analysts investigate threats and act on intelligence faster. As an intern, you will join this team and contribute to real automation projects in a fast-moving area of cybersecurity.

  • Write and test Python scripts and simple integrations that connect the Falcon platform with other tools using REST APIs and JSON data.
  • Help test and evaluate agents and workflows for accuracy and reliability, and help troubleshoot and improve them.

  • Basic programming experience in Python or a similar language, through coursework, personal projects, or self-study.
  • Experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or GitHub Copilot to support your coding, research, or problem-solving, and curiosity about how AI agents work.
  • An eagerness to learn through hands-on experience and collaborative projects, and comfort working on tasks that change as the team and technology evolve.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain your work clearly to technical and non-technical colleagues.
  • Proven experience utilising AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
  • You must be eligible to work in the UK.

Bonus Points:

  • Exposure to REST APIs, JSON, or building small integrations, bots, or automations (e.g., Slack bots, scripts, hackathon projects).
  • Interest in, or experience with, cybersecurity topics such as threat intelligence, incident response, or capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions.
  • Experience with Git or GitHub for version control.
  • Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, or Slack.

Can I use AI to apply?

As an AI-native company, CrowdStrike embraces the thoughtful use of safe and secure AI tools in our work. However, we require that all interviews and assessments be completed independently by candidates without AI, except when explicitly asked to use AI tools. Some assessments may expressly permit the use of AI and other tools — we will make this clear upfront when that is the case.
