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.

The team's work is about building the operational backbone for modern SOC execution: live triage and investigation experiences, workflow-driven automation, agentic investigation capabilities, remediation actions, and customer-facing reporting.
The team also owns the steady stream of operational work as new detections, products, and capabilities come online across the Huntress platform.
Your contributions will help Huntress improve analyst efficiency, reduce toil, and drive customer outcomes as we scale protection for the 99%.
You will partner closely with engineering, product, UX, and SOC stakeholders to turn operational pain points into reliable, auditable, and scalable systems.
You'll be expected to go deep in the code when needed, mentor senior engineers, and help the organization make pragmatic technical decisions that improve analyst effectiveness, partner outcomes, and Huntress's long-term ability to innovate in the industry with confidence.
You drive alignment on key decisions.
The measure of your technical leadership is how the whole team performs, not just what you personally ship.
Own the team's technical architecture and influence architectural direction across the system.
Your decisions create the foundation others build on for the foreseeable future.
