Reports to: Vice President, Engineering

Location: Remote US

Compensation: $240,000 to $300,000 base plus bonus and equity 


What We Do:

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 14M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

What You’ll Do: 

Huntress seeks an experienced leader to elevate our Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) teams and deliver purpose-built products for all businesses. In this role, you’ll be responsible for teams that develop our fast-growing ITDR product, which protects over 11M identities across thousands of customers. You will also be responsible for growing a team for one of our newest products, Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM). We’re seeking a passionate, inclusive engineering leader who can bring state-of-the-art engineering practices and deep experience in developing teams and people to accelerate our next growth phase. You will pair highly performing engineers with the leading AI development tools to build rock-solid security products for our customers.  

At Huntress, we work with low walls between disciplines because we believe good ideas are everywhere, and the best products come from teams that deeply understand our customers, experiment, and validate their products. 

Responsibilities:  

  • Deliver performant, scalable products iteratively, helping your teams balance incremental customer value delivery with long-term product evolution
  • Drive the technical roadmap and best practices for our Identity solutions so they are scalable to accommodate rapid growth and increased user demand
  • Innovate new uses for AI development tooling and tune current use to be more efficient over time
  • Scale our current ITDR product while building a new team and features for ISPM
  • Attract, recruit, and retain top engineering talent
  • Hire and coach engineering managers to continue to build and enable great teams 
  • Set clear expectations with your leaders and ICs, provide regular feedback, and conduct regular performance conversations to foster a high-performing engineering team
  • Identify opportunities and implement improvements to both the product and engineering practices and processes to optimize efficiency, quality, and time-to-market
  • Collaborate with Huntress’s Architecture, Product Management, and Threat Operations teams to integrate their expertise and needs into our products

What You Bring To The Team:  

  • 10+ years of experience in engineering leadership, building SaaS products in a modern SaaS environment
  • 5+ years of experience at the director level or higher
  • Experience with Claude Code or similar AI coding tools
  • Experience and knowledge of best practices for scalable delivery of on-premise software agents
  • Experience developing, evolving, and maintaining high-volume, scalable solutions
  • Deep understanding of organizing engineering teams to deliver customer value iteratively and experience with various approaches such as hypothesis-driven development, Shape Up, Scrum, and Kanban
  • Skilled at hiring, building teams, leading, and coaching managers, and performance management 
  • Demonstrated success working with architecture and product management leaders to develop and execute a shared product and technical vision 
  • Experience in a fully remote environment

What We Offer: 

  • 100% remote work environment - since our founding in 2015
  • Generous paid time off policy, including vacation, sick time, and paid holidays
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Highly competitive and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits plans 
  • 401(k) with a 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution
  • Life and Disability insurance plans
  • Stock options for all full-time employees 
  • One-time $500 reimbursement for building/upgrading home office
  • Annual allowance for education and professional development assistance 
  • $75 USD/month digital reimbursement
  • Access to the BetterUp platform for coaching, personal, and professional growth
