Huntress protects your business from determined cybercriminals. Discover the power of a managed cybersecurity platform backed by human threat hunters.Reports to: Developer Tech Lead
Location: Remote, US and Canada
Compensation: $150,000 to $180,000 base plus bonus and equity
What We Do:
Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress was built on a simple premise: to force hackers to earn every inch of their access.
Today’s cyber-attacks aren’t limited to large organizations with the security tools that can ward off threats. Hackers don't discriminate and will find a way to penetrate any vulnerability in any size business. Huntress enables IT providers and resellers to stop hidden threats that sneak past preventive security tools.
Through a combination of expert human threat hunters, a comprehensive platform, and a desire to make the world a safer place, we’re working to deliver cybersecurity to the 99%—those small to midsize businesses that make up the backbone of our economy.
Join the hunt and help us stop hackers in their tracks!
What You’ll Do:
The Huntress ThreatOps team has the unique honor to wake up every morning knowing we’re going to make hackers regret targeting our partners and customers. As a Sr ThreatOps Developer, we’re looking for someone who wants to pour all of their creativity into building and implementing simple solutions which are disproportionately effective at countering these constantly evolving threats. Competitive candidates have experience developing, experimenting, reverse engineering, and collaborating with diverse cybersecurity teams who are offense-minded and passionate about using under-leveraged OS functionality to prevent and detect new hacker tradecraft. Familiarity with product management, incident response, host-based threat hunting, malware analysis, configuration management and antivirus technologies are additional ways to differentiate yourself.
As you can imagine, success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. An effective developer fosters highly collaborative environments between the Product, Marketing and Threat Operation Center teams to accelerate our mission and secure the 99% of businesses who fall below the enterprise poverty line. This collaboration is needed to produce and prioritize a unified technical vision which ultimately delivers our most impactful features and capabilities.
We defend over 1.4M endpoints across 68,000+ mid-sized and small business customers and that number continues to grow each month. Considering this market’s tighter budget, it’s not financially possible to dedicate human analysts to each client. The R&D team addresses this challenge head-on by building and scaling highly automated efficiencies—often lightly augmented by our Threat Analysts—that make intruders earn every inch of their access while maintaining affordability and healthy gross margins.
