| Aspect | Remote Exploit Developer | Penetration Tester |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Knowledge of security vulnerabilities, programming skills, certifications like OSCP or CEH | Security certifications (OSCP, CEH), testing experience, technical background |
| Work Environment | Focus on developing exploits, testing security flaws, often in a controlled environment | Simulating attacks, assessing security posture, often in client or corporate settings |
| Industry Usage | Cybersecurity, software security, vulnerability research | Cybersecurity, consulting, IT security teams |
While both roles require security knowledge and technical skills, Remote Exploit Developers focus on creating and testing exploits to identify vulnerabilities, whereas Penetration Testers simulate attacks to evaluate security defenses. Both roles are essential in cybersecurity but differ in their primary objectives and methods.

About the Role:
At CrowdStrike we're on a mission - to stop breaches.

We've earned numerous honors and top rankings for our technology, organization and people - clearly confirming our industry leadership and our special culture driving it.
The opportunity: Our CrowdStrike Data Science Machine Learning Operations and Response Team is looking for a Detection Engineer who is both customer- and team-focused. This role will include both proactive and reactive aspects of detection engineering. The primary responsibility of this role will be to analyze adversary intrusions and take tactical steps to ensure they don't happen again, by creating or modifying security detections. Experience with machine learning concepts is a plus. The secondary responsibility of this role is to address customer requests related to the efficacy and function of our machine learning detection models.
This role will work most closely with internal teams such as OverWatch, Technical Account Managers, Falcon Complete, Data Scientists and Malware Researchers.
What You'll Do:
Review current product detections to ensure they are performing to the company standard
Perform tasks to enable better-management of false positive detections
Analyze binary files to determine their legitimacy
Address internal questions and concerns regarding customer threat detections
What You'll Need:
Required:
Exposure and understanding of different types and functionality of malware
Experience with reverse engineering malware, detection engineering, or threat hunting
Knowledge of programming and scripting languages, in particular Python
Fundamental understanding of attributes of binary files such as imports/exports and packers
Ability to demonstrate practical knowledge of research/collection skills and analytical methods
A creative approach to problem solving and closing detection gaps
An excellent understanding of at least one major operating system type, or a public cloud provider
Ability to break down complex problems into workable components
Preferred:
Experience in a security operations center, incident response, blue teaming, or similar
A thorough understanding of Windows OS internals and the Windows API
Familiarity with tools used in targeted and criminal cyber-intrusions
A background in exploit and vulnerability analysis, or read teaming
Knowledge of a variety of programming languages including C, C++, Java, and assembly
Intimate knowledge of public cloud infrastructure
Experience with machine learning, data science, or data science concepts
Familiarity with CrowdStrike product and services
BA/BS or MA/MS degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field
