Interns are also invited to work out of the CrowdStrike office located closest to their remote location.
About the Role
This internship program is for students in the summer before their third (Junior) year of a 4 year degree program.
The CrowdStrike Professional Services - Explorer Internship is a dynamic program geared towards providing undergraduate interns with a wide range of experiences over a variety of different departments within the Professional Services Practice. Successful interns may be invited back for a second summer at CrowdStrike as a Professional Services - Pathfinders Intern. Successful completion of the following year’s Pathfinder internship program can lead to a full-time offer beginning after one’s graduation from university.

Their job is to help our clients to prepare a real attack, by using the exact same tactics, techniques & procedures (TTPs) as some of the most sophisticated adversaries.
- Strategic Advisory - Our Strategic Advisory team supports customers by teaching them how to respond to real cyber threats. Members of this team are technologists who not only understand the complexities of securing the modern workplace, but have the ability to communicate this to technical and non-technical audiences, including legal representation, public relations teams, and CEOs.
- Endpoint Recovery Services (ERS) - Our ERS team provides a combination of CrowdStrike's industry leading technology platform (Falcon), threat intelligence and battle-hardened security experts to assist customers with the detection, analysis, and remediation of known security incidents and enable rapid recovery with zero business interruption.
