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. The Huntress team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Senior Software Engineer with excellent problem-solving and communication skills to join our API Experience team. This team is responsible for the public APIs, webhooks, and deep integrations with third party professional services automation tools (PSAs) and other partner platforms that power how customers and partners connect to the Huntress Platform. You’ll own and deliver end-to-end features across our API and integrations surface area: designing, developing, and releasing reliable, secure, and well-documented APIs and integrations that make it easy for partners to adopt Huntress and for our product teams to build on top of a well-factored, cohesive platform. You will work alongside an innovative and diverse team of problem solvers that exhibit high energy, technical skills, and a drive to get things done and satisfy our customers. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll lean in heavily on hands-on implementation, while also influencing design, mentorship within the team, and best practices for API development across the organization as a whole.
