Staff Software Engineer - ISPM Platform (Ruby/Rails)

What We Do

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, backing our technology with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide.

What You'll Do

The Huntress team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Staff Software Engineer to join our Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) team. ISPM is a new product that is generally available and already has very strong engagement within our customer base.

In this role, you will work across the stack—building new UI one day, scalable data models and event ingestions the next, and wrapping up with automated detectors to alert customers and our SOC to suspicious activity. At Huntress, Staff Engineers are expected to be technical leaders, driving new ideas, building great software, and mentoring more junior engineers.
