Entry Level & New Grad
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.
Do you like getting into the weeds on all things technical, psychological, and educational, and have a desire to know how things work? Then this is the position for you. We are looking for that jack of all trades who brings broad experience to each challenge presented. The Huntress Security team has the unique honor of waking up every morning knowing we’re going to make hackers regret targeting our partners and customers. As a Security Product Researcher, we’re looking for someone who wants to pour all of their creativity into building and implementing simple solutions that are disproportionately effective at countering these constantly evolving threats. Competitive candidates have experience managing, deploying, and securing SMB environments utilizing a wide variety of security software, best practices, and automation tools. Familiarity with product management, incident response, social engineering, psychology, education, and managed service provider tools are additional ways to differentiate yourself.
As you can imagine, success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. An effective Security Researcher fosters highly collaborative environments between the Product, Engineering, and Security teams to accelerate our mission and secure the 99% of businesses that fall below the enterprise poverty line. This collaboration is needed to produce and prioritize a unified technical vision that ultimately delivers our most impactful features and capabilities.
We defend over 2.5M endpoints across 33,000+ mid-sized and small business customers, and that number continues to grow each month. Considering this market’s tighter budget, it’s not financially possible to dedicate human analysts to each client. The Security Operations team addresses this challenge head-on by building and scaling highly automated efficiencies—often lightly augmented by our SOC — that make intruders earn every inch of their access while maintaining affordability and healthy gross margins.

Managed endpoint detection and response services
Huntress provides managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) services to protect businesses from cyber threats, particularly ransomware. Their service includes 24/7 monitoring of clients' systems to identify potential cyberattacks. When a threat is detected, their team of security experts verifies the activity and alerts the client only if necessary, reducing the number of false positives that can occur with other services. In addition to threat hunting, Huntress offers security awareness training and resources like eBooks and webinars to educate employees about cybersecurity risks. Their commitment to high customer support and personalized reporting distinguishes them from competitors in the cybersecurity field. The goal of Huntress is to enhance the security posture of businesses by providing effective monitoring and education against cyber threats.
