Company mission
To shatter the barriers to enterprise-level security.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience managing Linux-based cloud infrastructure
- Deep expertise in multi-region or multi-cloud resilience
- 3+ years of hands-on experience orchestrating production workloads in Kubernetes
- Strong coding proficiency in Go, Ruby, or Python, with a mindset focused on building scalable infrastructure tools
- Proven track record operating enterprise observability tools like Datadog to diagnose and resolve performance issues
- Hands-on experience with AI coding agents, with sound judgement about where their output needs verification
- Experience managing automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform (or any similar IaC tool)
- Clear communication style with a track record of collaborating across engineering teams to solve complex platform problems
What the job involves
- Huntress is expanding our Platform Engineering team and looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who brings unshakeable resilience to complex infrastructure challenges
- In this role, you will build, monitor, and scale the core cloud infrastructure supporting our security platform
- You will step up to own platform infrastructure resilience and tackle complex problems across multi-region environments
- Variety is built into this role: one week you might author custom Kubernetes admission controllers, and the next you are tackling multi-region capacity failover automation or tracking down obscure memory leaks in production pods
- AI coding agents are part of how this team works, and you will be expected to use them to move faster without loosening the bar on what reaches production
- You will get a full handle on our infrastructure stack and drive high-impact roadmap initiatives that directly keep our production environment rock-solid
- We do not wait for permission to fix things here
- You will spot platform bottlenecks, step up with concrete solutions, and stay unshakeable under system chaos
- Beyond immediate infrastructure work, you will build a strong reputation across the engineering organization as a trusted technical partner who delivers measurable outcomes
- Design and enhance cloud infrastructure across multi-region and multi-cloud environments to improve service reliability, cost, and capacity failover
- Author custom Kubernetes tools, controllers, and infrastructure code using Terraform, Go, Python, or Ruby
- Support and extend observability infrastructure using Datadog to give deep visibility into system health and platform performance
- Diagnose and fix complex production issues, performance bottlenecks, and resource constraints across cloud environments
- Collaborate across engineering teams to guide software architecture choices and eliminate infrastructure pain points
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.
