About the Role:

CrowdStrike’s Intelligence Analysis Cell (IAC), a team within CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations (CAO), is seeking to hire a Senior Intelligence Analyst with high expertise in North Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The role specializes in conducting both investigative and contextual analysis related to cybersecurity threats posed by state-affiliated actors and hacktivists. This position is instrumental in providing answers to complex questions—such as “who” is behind the adversary and “why” the adversary behaves in a certain manner—through finished intelligence reports that are disseminated to CrowdStrike’s customers and stakeholders. 

To support our mission, you will conduct Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations that uncover the organizations, individuals, and policies that enable threat actors, providing insights into the behavior and motivations. You will also connect cyber activities to real-world events by examining how political, economic, and geopolitical factors influence or are influenced by adversarial operations. 

What You'll Do:

• Conduct OSINT investigations into enabling entities that back DPRK state-sponsored adversaries
• Identify and track national and transnational developments that impact or are impacted by DPRK state-sponsored adversaries
• Compose short- and long-form finished intelligence reports
• Respond to customer requests for information (RFIs)
• Collaborate with other analysts, technical experts, and customer-facing personnel
• Strategize research prioritization efforts and intelligence gap identification

What You'll Need:

• The ability to read Korean with high proficiency
• A strong understanding of North Korean government bureaucracies pertinent to understanding the country's disposition towards the use of cyber operations; knowledge of the country's military, intelligence, and political organizations is particularly useful
• In-depth knowledge of North Korean and other regional states' foreign and domestic policies necessary to appropriately contextualize their behavior for various audiences
• A general understanding of North Korean and other Asia-Pacific cyber adversaries, including their major characteristics and relationships to government entities
• Excellent English writing and an ability to effectively explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences
• The ability to apply analytic best practices such as structured analysis, awareness of analyitical pitfalls, and critical thinking in source evaluation
• The ability to work collaboratively in a fully remote working environment 
• Excellent time management skills and a high level of self accountability
• Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
  

Bonus Points:

• A nuanced understanding of the Korean language to include knowledge about country- and region-level dialects and technical terminology.
• 5+ years’ experience producing intelligence reports and handling ad-hoc requests for information (RFIs)
• Formal foreign language training or professional competency in additional languages beyond Korean including but not limited to Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese, Malay, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, and Urdu
• Undergraduate degree in cybersecurity, intelligence studies, security studies, criminal justice, political science, international relations; or equivalent military training and experience in a cyber intelligence/security MOS
• Graduate or professional degrees in any of the aforementioned fields
• Experience contributing to Computer Network Operations (CNO) campaign tracking, including working with technical indicators pertaining to malware and network infrastructure
