Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience developing complex software products
- 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails
- Experience with AI coding tools, such as Claude Code
- Experience with relational databases, such as Postgres
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 Endpoint Security Posture Management (ESPM) team. This is a new product which will be generally available on October 1
- You will be instrumental in building and growing this product from the ground up. You will be part of a growing product team that is strategically key to protecting the 99% from cyber attacks
- In this role, you will focus on creating the technical vision and implementing new and exciting features from the product roadmap. You will work closely with one of our co-founders to develop this market-defining solution. At Huntress, Staff Engineers are expected to be technical leaders, driving new ideas, building great software, and mentoring more junior engineers
- 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
- ESPM moves compromise prevention “further left”, ideally preventing more endpoints from being breached by encouraging better hygiene in everyday actions. 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
- Deliver code quickly and efficiently for rapid value delivery and testing
- 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
- Set standards for excellence and develop processes that make the team continuously more efficient
- Lead more 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 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.
