Job Description

Staff Software Engineer-ESPM Platform (Ruby / Rails)

Huntress

Reports to: Engineering Manager Location: Remote US Compensation Range: $200,000 to $220,000 base plus bonus and equity What We Do: Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact. Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection. Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other. What You’ll Do: The Huntress team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Staff Software Engineer with excellent problem-solving and communication skills to join our Endpoint Security Posture Management (ESPM) team. This is a new product which will be generally available on October 1. You will be instrumental in building and growing this product from the ground up. You will be part of a growing product team that is strategically key to protecting the 99% from cyber attacks. In this role, you will focus on creating the technical vision and implementing new and exciting features from the product roadmap. You will work closely with one of our co-founders to develop this market-defining solution. At Huntress, Staff Engineers are expected to be technical leaders, driving new ideas, building great software, and mentoring more junior engineers. We make full use of AI coding tools to enable you to accelerate your development. We do not cap token usage; we expect our engineers to use AI and all tools responsibly. ESPM moves compromise prevention “further left”, ideally preventing more endpoints from being breached by encouraging better hygiene in everyday actions. 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 Security Operations Center to suspicious activity. Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end solutions using primarily Ruby on Rails - Deliver code quickly and efficiently for rapid value delivery and testing - 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 - Be a technical thought leader for your team, providing architectural and design direction - Continuously improve solution quality through code reviews, manual, and automated testing - Set standards for excellence and develop processes that make the team continuously more efficient - Lead more junior engineers to deliver larger projects, including breaking down ambiguous problems into well-defined tasks, validating designs, and serving as POC for stakeholders - Design the systems and architecture to support processing petabytes of data efficiently What You Bring To The Team: - 10+ years of experience developing complex software products - 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails - Experience with AI coding tools, such as Claude Code - Experience with relational databases, such as Postgres 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 - 401(k) with a 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution - Life and Disability insurance plans - Stock options for all full-time employees - One-time $500 reimbursement for building/upgrading home office - Annual allowance for education and professional development assistance - $75 USD/month digital reimbursement - Access to the BetterUp platform for coaching, personal, and professional growth Huntress is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity where every single member of our team is valued, has a voice, and is empowered to come to work every day just as they are. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other legally protected status. We do discriminate against hackers who try to exploit businesses of all sizes.
