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 Threat Detection & Response (TD&R) is the operational core of the Huntress customer value proposition. This business unit spans our Security Operations Center (SOC) / Security Analysis, Security Triage, Tactical Response, Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting (DE&TH), and Adversary Tactics teams. As the executive leader for this entire ecosystem, you will give
the team a clear multi-year direction, strategy, and vision. You are not here to inherit a pre-made plan or just manage daily execution. You are expected to show up with an outcome-obsessed approach to build consensus, map out the strategy, and execute through your leadership bench. Your discretionary time will be devoted to organizational design, culture, and alignment across the company. You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Innovation, Data, Support, and Sales to evolve our SOC into an agentic operating model. Repetitive, deterministic investigations will move to automated workflows, freeing your analysts to focus their brilliant human security judgment on complex intrusion analysis. Success means balancing operator rigor, strategic judgment, and organization-building discipline to protect all businesses.
