The Role

Reports to: Vice President, Engineering

Location: Remote US

Compensation: $210,000 to $240,000 base with bonus and equity  


What We Do: 

Founded in 2015 as a fully remote company 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, which is why Huntress focuses on protecting those small to midsize businesses that make up the backbone of our economy.

Huntress stops hidden threats that sneak past preventive security tools by utilizing our award-winning security platform and expert human threat hunters through dynamic products, including Managed EDR, MDR for Microsoft 365, and Managed Security Awareness Training.

Join the hunt and help us stop hackers in their tracks!

What You'll Do: 

Huntress seeks an experienced leader to elevate our platform engineering teams and deliver purpose-built products for small and midsize organizations. In this role, you'll be responsible for teams that develop our product platform and infrastructure, including products that power our security operations, detection engines, and threat-hunting capabilities. We're looking for 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. 

At Huntress, we work with low walls between disciplines because we believe good ideas are everywhere and the best products come from teams working to deeply understand our customers, experiment, and validate our 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 Product Platform [Core, Business, SOC, Detection, Infrastructure] solutions so they are scalable to accommodate rapid growth and increased user demand
  • 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, provide regular feedback, and conduct 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
  • Partner with other engineering leaders, product leaders, and architects to ensure our teams and technology are in sync and meet customer needs
  • 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
  • 3+ years of experience at the director level or higher
  • Experience and knowledge of best practices for scalable delivery, core platform systems, site reliability engineering, and developer experience
  • 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
  • Helpful but not required: experience working with both on-premise agents and web applications

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


Huntress is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity where every single member of our team is valued, has a voice, and is empowered to come to work every day just as they are.

We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other legally protected status. 

We do discriminate against hackers who try to exploit small businesses.
