What the job involves
- Reports to: Engineering Manager
- The Huntress team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Staff Software Engineer with excellent problem-solving and communication skills to join our Showcase team
- Showcase is Huntress’s internal demo platform, used by sellers to provision live, guided product demo environments that reliably represent the Huntress platform and support the use cases we sell today
- It sits close to the customer experience and revenue motion
- Working on Showcase is a unique opportunity to work in Rails across the Huntress platform and help shape how customers discover value in our products
- It is also a highly cross-functional role that interfaces closely with all Huntress’s cybersecurity products, especially the teams and systems responsible for producing the signals, detections, and incidents that power compelling product demonstrations
- The team is responsible for Showcase stability and reliability, ensuring it works every time, the first time, while also improving observability, quality of service, and overall confidence in the platform
- This role will help ensure Showcase can support the full range of use cases that Huntress sells today, while laying the groundwork for future feature expansion
- In this role, you will focus on creating technical vision and implementing high-impact roadmap work across customer-facing Rails experiences, backend integrations, operational reliability, and product enablement
- You will partner closely with Sales Engineers, Account Executives, Product, and Engineering to improve the quality of life for pre-sales and reseller use cases, reduce friction in how Showcase is used, and make it easier for all teams to rely on the platform with confidence
- You will also help extend Showcase’s value beyond core feature delivery by supporting product team enablement, reseller support needs, and the internal tooling or workflows required to make Showcase a dependable part of how Huntress demonstrates and sells its platform
- As a Staff Engineer, you’ll be expected to lead through influence, drive clarity through ambiguity, make sound tradeoffs, and raise the bar for engineering quality as the team grows
- We make full use of AI coding tools to enable you to accelerate your development
- We do not cap token usage; we expect our engineers to use AI and all tools responsibly
- Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end Showcase solutions, primarily using Ruby on Rails
- Define and drive technical direction for Showcase initiatives, including user experiences, experimentation surfaces, and supporting platform capabilities
- Build and improve instrumentation, analytics, and monitoring workflows that support product-led growth experiments and help the team understand usage patterns and experience quality
- Partner closely with Product and peer engineering teams to translate roadmap goals into scalable, well-scoped technical work
- Use data and sound engineering judgment to improve workflows, identify friction, and ensure users have a reliable, low-friction experience throughout Showcase
- Be a technical thought leader for the team, providing architectural and design direction and helping shape long-term engineering strategy
- Continuously improve solution quality through code reviews, testing, and strong engineering practices
- Set standards for excellence and help develop processes that make the team continuously more effective
- Lead greater efforts by breaking down ambiguous problems, validating designs, mentoring engineers, and serving as a technical point of contact for stakeholders
- Collaborate across the stack when needed, moving between UI, backend systems, data models, and internal integrations to deliver cohesive solutions
Our take
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, many organizations lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves effectively. Huntress has stepped in to address this gap, delivering robust cybersecurity solutions to protect a wide range of businesses and institutions across the US business landscape.
The company offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks. Launched in 2015, Huntress has grown well over the years, attracting plenty of investment and expanding its headcount into the hundreds.
More recently, Huntress has turned its eye to acquisitions and new product launches, as well as major international expansion. A considerable influx of funding will support these initiatives, as well as allow the company to maintain sales momentum by expanding its go-to-market efforts.
