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.\nFounded 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.\nHuntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 16M 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.\nReports to: Director, Engineering\nLocation: Remote US, Only\nCompensation: $165,000 to $190,000 base plus bonus and equity\nWhat You’ll Do:\nHuntress is building an Agentic SOC. When our detection pipeline raises a signal, an LLM-based agent picks it up and investigates it end-to-end. It gathers telemetry across our products, reconstructs what happened, and makes a well-documented determination about whether the activity is malicious. Over time, it will take on more of the work itself, growing from resolving routine cases to acting fast when it finds an attack and handing analysts cases with the evidence already assembled. \nThis system is meant to augment our analysts, not replace them. It takes the high-volume, repetitive work off their plates so they can focus on complex cases and hands-on keyboard intrusions where human expertise matters most. It also reduces toil in the rest of their day by using LLMs to pre-process the output of the tools analysts use constantly, so they start from a clear picture instead of raw telemetry.\nThis isn’t a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard. The system investigates a large volume of signals a day across thousands of customer organizations. Many signals are benign, but some are live intrusions where minutes matter. The telemetry the system reads comes from environments where attackers are actively operating. Because the system makes real decisions, like closing an investigation or isolating a host, it has to be right, it has to show its work, and it has to know when to hand off to a person.\nAs a Senior Software Engineer on the Agentic SOC team, you’ll build and ship core parts of this system. You’ll work closely with the team’s technical leads, SOC analysts, product researchers, and product managers. You’ll own significant pieces end-to-end, from an ambiguous problem to a production feature you can show is working.\nWe make full use of AI coding tools to enable you to accelerate your development. We don’t cap token usage. We expect you to use AI and all tools responsibly.\n\nResponsibilities:\nBuild the investigation system. You design, build, and ship the components that make agentic investigation work: the tools agents use to query telemetry, the logic that drives an investigation, and the structured, evidence-backed output that analysts and customers see.\nTurn analyst expertise into agent behavior. You sit with SOC analysts and product researchers to understand how they triage and investigate a given kind of Signal, then encode that into what the agent looks for, what it gathers, and how it explains its conclusions.\nTake toil off analysts’ plates. You build LLM-powered features that pre-process the output of tools analysts use every day. They summarize, correlate, and highlight what matters, so analysts spend their time on judgment instead of assembly.\nMeasure what you ship. You build and extend the evaluations that tell us whether the system is getting better or worse, and you back your changes with evidence rather than a handful of good-looking examples.\nBuild with a security mindset. The agent reads attacker-influenced data, runs across thousands of customer tenants, and can take action in customer environments. You think about how what you build could be misused or manipulated, and you design for it.\nBuild for production. You write reliable, observable, cost-conscious code that behaves well when models are slow, wrong, or unavailable. You operate what you build and help keep the system healthy as new detections and products come online.\nCollaborate and raise the bar. You give thoughtful code reviews, help teammates get unstuck, share what you learn about building with LLMs, and contribute to technical discussions and design reviews with clear reasoning about tradeoffs.\nBalance rigor with pragmatism. You know when to prototype quickly to learn something and when to slow down because the cost of being wrong is high.\nWhat You Bring To The Team:\n6+ years of professional software development experience, including building and operating production backend systems\nExperience building applications with LLMs, including tool use, structured output, prompt and context design, and evaluation. Experience shipping agents to production is a strong plus\nAn understanding of how LLM-based systems fail, and good habits for testing and debugging non-deterministic behavior\nSolid backend fundamentals, including APIs, background jobs and queues, concurrency, relational databases such as Postgres, and data stores such as Redis\nStrong skills in one or more backend languages and the ability to pick up new ones quickly. Our primary stack is Ruby on Rails. Prior Rails experience isn’t required, and we expect you to become fluent in it\nSecurity awareness: you think about untrusted input, access control, and keeping one customer’s data separate from another’s\nCuriosity about how security analysts think and work, and a willingness to spend real time learning from them\nExperience with AWS, Azure, or other public cloud environments\nExperience with AI coding tools, such as Claude Code\nBS or MS in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent experience\nBonus Points:\nExperience working in or building for a SOC, incident response, threat hunting, or detection engineering. It isn’t required, but it helps a lot, because we build these workflows around how our analysts actually investigate\nFamiliarity with endpoint, identity, and Microsoft 365 telemetry and with attacker tradecraft (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK)\nExperience building evaluation pipelines or datasets for ML or LLM systems\nExperience with Ruby on Rails \nWhat We Offer: \n100% remote work environment - since our founding in 2015\nGenerous paid time off policy, including vacation, sick time, and paid holidays\n12 weeks of paid parental leave\nHighly competitive and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits plans \n401(k) with a 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution\nLife and Disability insurance plans\nStock options for all full-time employees \nOne-time $500 reimbursement for building/upgrading home office\nAnnual allowance for education and professional development assistance \n$75 USD/month digital reimbursement\nAccess to the BetterUp platform for coaching, personal, and professional growth\n #BI-REMOTE\nHuntress is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity where every single member of our team is valued, has a voice, and is empowered to come to work every day just as they are. \nWe do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other legally protected status. \nWe do discriminate against hackers who try to exploit businesses of all sizes.\nAccommodations: \nIf you require reasonable accommodation to complete this application, interview, or pre-employment testing or participate in the employee selection process, please direct your inquiries to .
