Staff Software Engineer - SOC Platform (Ruby/Rails)

What We Do

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. 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. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 16M identities worldwide.

What You’ll Do

The Huntress team seeks a Staff Software Engineer to join our SOC Experience team. This team builds the human-analyst side of Huntress’ SOC platform: the investigation and triage experience analysts use to work a case, the remediation actions they take, the queues that route and prioritize incoming work, and the customer-facing reporting that closes the loop with customers.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll provide technical leadership across this surface area: shaping architecture and design direction, converting ambiguous requirements into functional workflows and data models, raising the bar on code quality and testing, and mentoring engineers across the team. This is a full-stack role with real front-end weight.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership across the SOC Experience surface area: investigation and triage experience, remediation actions, queues, and customer-facing reporting.
• Lead and develop high-quality software, software designs, and architecture.
• Design and build analyst-facing interfaces end to end, from data model to browser, and set the standard for front-end quality (usability, performance, accessibility, reusable patterns) in partnership with UX.
• Set the standard for engineering excellence on the team through code review, test plan review, and hands-on pairing.
• Lead security-by-design reviews of designs and code.
• Focus on the full lifecycle of the systems you build, including evolution, configuration, and risk management.
• Share ownership of delivery, reliability, and uptime for the features you build, with observability and test automation built in.
• Mentor engineers across the team to help them grow into harder problems.
• Balance technical rigor with pragmatism.
• Partner with Product, UX, and SOC stakeholders to turn operational pain points into reliable, auditable systems.

What You Bring To The Team

• 10+ years of experience developing complex software products.
• 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails.
• Strong front-end fundamentals (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and experience building complex interactive UIs with modern component-based frameworks (Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus preferred).
• Experience with AWS or other public cloud environments, and Linux-based infrastructure.
• Experience with relational databases such as Postgres.
• Experience with AI coding tools, such as Claude Code.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ClickHouse.
• Experience building cybersecurity products, or building/operating a SOC platform.
• Experience with Hotwire, Stimulus, Turbo.

What We Offer
