About the Role:

The CrowdStrike Services Internship Program is a 12-week full-time summer internship that provides individuals with experience across all major aspects of the CrowdStrike Services business, with a focus on red teaming.

Location:

• Successful applicants will join the EMEA Red Team in a remote position. Whilst you do not need to be based in the Greater London area, successful applicants can be invited to travel to London (at CrowdStrike's expenses) to meet and collaborate with the team.
