What We Do:
Huntress is a fully remote, global team of passionate experts and ethical badasses on a mission to break down the barriers to cybersecurity. Whether creating purpose-built security solutions, hunting down hackers, or impacting our community, our people go above and beyond to change the security game and make a real difference.
Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress protects all businesses—not just the 1%—with enterprise-grade, fully owned, and managed cybersecurity products at the price of an affordable SaaS application. The Huntress difference is our One Team advantage: our technology is designed with our industry-defining Security Operations Center (SOC) in mind and is never separated from our service.
We protect 4M+ endpoints and 7M+ identities worldwide, elevating underresourced IT teams with protection that works as hard as they do. As long as hackers keep hacking, Huntress keeps hunting.
What You’ll Do:
Huntress seeks an experienced leader to elevate our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) teams and deliver purpose-built products for all businesses. In this role, you’ll be responsible for teams that develop our flagship EDR product, which enables much of what Huntress does to defeat hackers and defend the 99%. 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. In short, EDR is a bad-ass product, and we need a bad-ass leader to keep making it even better.
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 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 EDR 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 and ICs, 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 deliver real value for our customers
- 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 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
- Helpful but not required: experience working with high-volume data ingest platforms
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
