Description
Reports to: Vice President, Engineering
Location: Remote US
Compensation: $240,000 to $300,000 base plus bonus and equity
What We Do:
Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.
Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.
Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.
What You’ll Do:
Huntress seeks an experienced leader to elevate our Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) teams and deliver purpose-built products for all businesses. In this role, you’ll be responsible for teams that develop our fast-growing ITDR product, which protects over 11M identities across thousands of customers. You will also be responsible for growing a team for one of our newest products, Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM). We’re seeking a passionate, inclusive engineering leader who can bring state-of-the-art engineering practices and deep experience in developing teams and people to accelerate our next growth phase. You will pair highly performing engineers with the leading AI development tools to build rock-solid security products for our customers.
At Huntress, we work with low walls between disciplines because we believe good ideas are everywhere, and the best products come from teams that deeply understand our customers, experiment, and validate their products.
