About the role
- CrowdStrike's cybersecurity data is one-of-a-kind: we process nearly a trillion behavioral events per day.
- Work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Threat Research
- Work closely with subject-matter experts in cybersecurity to understand analyst workflows and their security operations procedures
Responsibilities
- Optimize prompts and inference to get the most out of every model
- Collaborate and coordinate across Engineering, Data Science, and Managed Services teams, and partner with engineers to take prototypes toward production
- Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections
Requirements
- Experience training generative models, with a strong command of LLM training fundamentals (architecture, optimization, tokenization, data, and scaling behavior)
- Experience with agent safety and guardrails: sandboxing, abuse/jailbreak resistance, and reliability for autonomous systems
Nice to have
- Experience with systematic prompt optimization, and with designing and building evals for LLM systems
- Fluency with GPUs, PyTorch, and the common LLM training and serving stack (e.g., Hugging Face Transformers/TRL/PEFT, DeepSpeed/FSDP, vLLM/TGI/SGLang)
- Ability to work independently on ambiguous and complex objectives, and to communicate clearly within a large project team
- Experience generating training data and environments - synthetic data, agent trajectories/rollouts, and task simulators
- Familiarity with inference-time scaling / test-time compute (search, self-consistency, verifier-guided decoding, long chain-of-thought)
- A knack for interpretability and failure analysis - diagnosing why a model or agent fails, not just that it does
- Notable open-source contributions and excellent technical writing
- An independent self-starter who likes to take ownership and seeks out new challenges, and is thirsty for knowledge - never hesitant to step outside your comfort zone to learn new technologies, algorithms, and concepts

Benefits
- Market leader in compensation and equity awards
- Competitive vacation and holidays for recharge
- Paid parental and adoption leaves
- Post-train LLMs and agents - supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLHF/RLAIF, PPO/GRPO/DPO, reward modeling) - to automate analyst procedures and improve reliability on real security tasks
- Excellent foundations in machine learning, probability, and statistics, with sound instincts for uncertainty, statistical skew/variance, and experimental design
- Reinforcement learning / post-training as a core skill: RLHF/RLAIF, policy optimization (PPO/GRPO/DPO), reward modeling, and building RL environments for agents
