About the Role:
CrowdStrike is looking for a Data Analyst to join our growing Generative AI Research Center. This is a junior/entry-level position with quick advancement opportunities. As Data Analyst you will focus on data and corpus labeling, as well as other data-related tasks critical to supporting our large language models (LLMs) and cybersecurity initiatives. This role is crucial in enhancing our products capabilities by ensuring the accuracy and quality of the data used to train models and detect threats, thereby supporting the overall mission of the Generative AI Research Center.
CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company, but we do not require candidates for this role to have prior security industry experience. We will mentor and train in security topics as needed. We do expect a strong interest in CrowdStrike's mission and a willingness to engage with the needs of our product teams and customers.
