About the role

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.
We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all.
Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide.

Design, develop, and maintain high-performance agents using Go.
Integrate our endpoint application with our backend SaaS web application's REST APIs to manage state and provide information used for threat hunting, with particular attention to low resource usage on endpoints.
Build and maintain the concurrent, performance-sensitive core of the endpoint agent, and set the standard for what good Go looks like here.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align development efforts with company goals.
Collaborate with DevOps to use our end-to-end testing framework to test our agent and its interactions with our web portal.
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.

5+ years of hands-on experience writing idiomatic, concurrent, well-tested, and tuned for performance production Go code

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations.
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.
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.
The Huntress team is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to set the technical direction for our endpoint agents that run on every protected host and feed threat-hunting signals back to our platform.
