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.

Responsibilities

This role is perfect for a hands-on engineer who is passionate about designing, building, and defending highly scalable and secure cloud environments.
You will be a key member of the internal product security team and help drive effective security detection and response across our production platform.
Secure Cloud Architecture: You will design, evaluate, and implement architectural security standards for our AWS, Azure, and PaaS cloud platforms.
Platform Vulnerability and Risk Management: You'll manage a robust vulnerability management program specifically tailored to our cloud environments.
This entails triaging high-severity alerts and coordinating with internal teams to drive mitigations or remediations.
Threat Detection & Response: You will develop strategies to respond to and recover from security incidents affecting the Huntress platform. You'll also implement tools, including runtime and build-level controls, to assist in threat detection and prevention.
Own Security Compliance: This role will have the primary responsibility of owning cloud security controls end-to-end, including the design, monitoring, and remediation of control failures.
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.
