Company mission
To elevate SMBs through education and community — one hacker at a time.
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience developing complex software products
- 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails
- Experience with databases such as Postgres
- BS in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent experience gained through work experience
Desirable
- Experience working in the CyberSecurity industry
- Experience working with external APIs (particularly REST, OData, authZ and authN flows)
- Familiarity with identity and resource security providers like m365, Okta, Google Workspaces, or similar
- Experience with other data storage technologies (Redis, ElasticSearch, Mongo, etc.)
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 Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) team
- In this role, you’ll build solutions to monitor logins, behaviors, and access patterns at scale to automatically detect and stop hackers in their tracks
- You will focus on creating the technical vision for new and exciting features from the product roadmap
- You will work closely with senior engineers, security researchers, designers, and market experts to develop market-defining solutions for the identity protection space
- ITDR is the new frontier of security, with the vast majority of breaches in 2024 beginning with identity compromise
- In this role, you will build scalable solutions to emerging threats in a rapidly evolving landscape. In many cases, you will work on problems nobody has solved before, with no existing template, so the ability to learn quickly and think outside the box is critical
- You will work across the stack, building new UI one day, scalable data models and event ingestions the next, then wrapping up the week with automated detectors to alert customers and our Security Operations Center to suspicious activity
- Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end solutions using primarily Ruby on Rails
- Implement efficient data pipelines to extract relevant information from massive amounts of noise
- Collaborate with security researchers to understand hacking strategies and methods to combat them
- Be a technical thought leader for your team, providing architectural and design direction
- Continuously improve solution quality through code reviews, manual and automated testing
- Build internal tooling for our SOC team to hunt for and quickly mitigate any intrusions
- Set standards for excellence and develop processes that make the team continuously more efficient
- Lead junior engineers to deliver larger projects, including breaking down ambiguous problems into well-defined tasks, validating designs, and serving as POC for stakeholders
- Design the systems and architecture to support processing petabytes of data efficiently
Our take
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, many SMBs don’t have the resources to protect themselves. Huntress addresses the need for robust cybersecurity solutions for small to medium sized businesses, which make up 99% of 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.
In recent years, 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.
