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 seeks a Staff Software Engineer to join our SOC Experience team. This team builds the human-analyst side of Huntress’ SOC platform: the investigation and triage experience analysts use to work a case, the remediation actions they take, the queues that route and prioritize incoming work, and the customer-facing reporting that closes the loop with customers. Your contributions will help Huntress improve analyst efficiency, reduce toil, and drive customer outcomes as we scale protection for the 99%.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll provide technical leadership across this surface area: shaping architecture and design direction, converting ambiguous requirements into functional workflows and data models, raising the bar on code quality and testing, and mentoring engineers across the team. You’ll partner closely with Product, UX, and SOC stakeholders to turn operational pain points into reliable, auditable systems, and you’ll go deep in the code yourself. This is a full-stack role with real front-end weight: the analyst experiences you’ll build are data-dense, interactive interfaces, and you’ll set the bar for front-end quality as well as the back end.
Responsibilities:
- Provide technical leadership across the SOC Experience surface area: investigation and triage experience, remediation actions, queues, and customer-facing reporting.
- Lead and develop high-quality software, software designs, and architecture
- Design and build analyst-facing interfaces end to end, from data model to browser, and set the standard for front-end quality (usability, performance, accessibility, reusable patterns) in partnership with UX
- Set the standard for engineering excellence on the team through code review, test plan review, and hands-on pairing
- Lead security-by-design reviews of designs and code
- Focus on the full lifecycle of the systems you build, including evolution, configuration, and risk management, not just initial delivery
- Share ownership of delivery, reliability, and uptime for the features you build, with observability and test automation built in
- Mentor engineers across the team to help them grow into harder problems
- Balance technical rigor with pragmatism: push back when a shortcut creates real risk, and push back on over-engineering when the goal is discovery or speed
- Partner with Product, UX, and SOC stakeholders to turn operational pain points into reliable, auditable systems
What You Bring To The Team:
- 10+ years of experience developing complex software products
- 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails
- Strong front-end fundamentals (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and experience building complex interactive UIs with modern component-based frameworks; today’s stack is Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus, but you can reason outside that box
- Experience with AWS or other public cloud environments, and Linux-based infrastructure
- Experience with relational databases such as Postgres
- Experience with AI coding tools, such as Claude Code
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with ClickHouse
- Experience building cybersecurity products, or building/operating a SOC platforms
- Experience with Hotwire, Stimulus, Turbo
