About The Position

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. 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.
