Senior Software Engineer - ITDR Platform (Ruby / Rails)

Job Description

Job Description

Reports to : Engineering Manager

Location : Remote US

Compensation Range : $160,000 to $190,000 base plus bonus and equity

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 3M+ endpoints and 1M+ 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 :

The Huntress team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Senior Software Engineer with excellent problem-solving and communication skills to join our Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) team. In this role, you'll build solutions to monitor logins, behaviors, and access patterns at scale to automatically detect and stop hackers in their tracks. You will work closely with senior engineers, security researchers, designers, and market experts to develop market-defining solutions for the identity protection space.

ITDR is the new frontier of security, with the vast majority of breaches in 2024 beginning with identity compromise. In this role, you will build scalable solutions to emerging threats in a rapidly evolving landscape. In many cases, you will work on problems nobody has solved before, with no existing template, so the ability to learn quickly and think outside the box is critical. You will work across the stack, building new UI one day, scalable data models and event ingestions the next, then wrapping up the week with automated detectors to alert customers and our SOC team to suspicious activity.

Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end solutions using primarily Ruby on Rails.
• Implement efficient data pipelines to extract relevant information from massive amounts of noise
• Collaborate with security researchers to understand hacking strategies and methods to combat them
• Continuously improve solution quality through code reviews, manual and automated testing
• Build internal tooling for our SOC team to hunt for and quickly mitigate any intrusions
• Set standards for excellence and develop processes that make the team continuously more efficient
• Lead junior engineers to deliver larger projects, including breaking down ambiguous problems into well-defined tasks, validating designs, and serving as POC for stakeholders
• Mentor junior engineers and help them grow
