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 a product manager, senior engineers, security researchers, designers, and market experts to develop market-defining solutions for the identity protection space. 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, however we expect our engineers to use AI, and all tools responsibly.
ISPM is a new frontier of security, with the vast majority of breaches in 2026 beginning with identity compromise. ISPM moves compromise prevention “further left”, ideally preventing more identities 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.
