Software Engineer - ITDR (Ruby/Rails)

Reports to: Engineering Manager

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $140,000 to $160,000 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 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, and suggesting team processes to make us more efficient
• Build internal tooling for our SOC team to hunt for and quickly mitigate any intrusions

What You Bring To The Team:

• 4+ years of experience developing complex software products
• 2+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails
• Experience reviewing code, problem-solving, and technical troubleshooting
• BS in Computer Science or Engineering or equivalent experience gained through work experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in the CyberSecurity industry
• Experience working with external APIs (particularly REST, OData, authZ and authN flows)
• Familiarity with identity and resource security providers like m365, Okta, Google Workspaces, or similar
• Experience with other data storage technologies (Redis, ElasticSearch, Mongo, etc.)

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
