About The Position

The Huntress Managed Security Awareness Training team is growing, and this role will help expand how we bring training to life through more interactive, game-like learning experiences. As a Senior Production Artist, you will create the visual assets, environments, and storyboards that power memorable security awareness content. You will lead the visual development of our educational simulations, creating immersive game environments where learners actively apply cybersecurity skills through engaging, hands-on play. This role sits at the intersection of illustration, production art, and gameplay-minded visual design — helping shape experiences that feel intuitive, playful, and engaging while still delivering clear educational outcomes. In this role, you’ll partner closely with writers, animators, product designers, researchers, and creative leadership to translate learning goals into polished visual systems and interactive content. You’ll own workstreams from concept through production, help solve creative pipeline problems, and contribute to a repeatable art process that scales as Huntress invests further in simulations, gamified training, and other interactive learning formats. If you’re excited by visual storytelling, interaction design, and building game-inspired experiences that help people stay safer online, we want to hear from you.
