Job description

Compensation Range: $160,000.00 to $170,000.00 base plus bonus and equity

What We Do:

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.

What You’ll Do:

The Huntress ThreatOps team has the unique honor of waking up every morning knowing we will make hackers regret targeting our partners and customers. We’re looking for someone who wants to pour all of their creativity into researching, hunting, and discovering threats in our customer networks. Competitive candidates have experience leading a team composed of various researchers involved in the threat intelligence cycle. Candidates should also have experience creating Threat Intelligence reports, advocating for product enhancements, and public speaking.

Threat Intelligence Analysts aggregate threat data from the previous month and build reports for our customers. These reports may also be used for marketing and to illustrate the value of what Huntress provides to customers and the community. Threat Intelligence Analysts are also responsible for writing blog posts and marketing materials regarding emerging threat trends. They also work closely with Security Researchers to obtain more context about threat data.

Familiarity with product management, scripting/development, incident response, malware analysis, configuration management, and antivirus technologies are additional ways to differentiate yourself.

As you can imagine, success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. An effective hunter fosters highly collaborative environments between the Product, Marketing and Security Operations Center teams to accelerate our mission and secure the 99% of businesses who fall below the enterprise poverty line. This collaboration is needed to produce and prioritize a unified technical vision which ultimately delivers our most impactful features and capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct research on emerging adversary tradecraft to help find patterns of attacks
• Responsible for aggregating threat data to build out reports for customers to show Huntress’ value and inform them of various threats that have been seen and reported

• Test exploitation of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack paths that result in developing reliable and weaponized Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploits for identified vulnerabilities
• Stay current with emerging threats and vulnerabilities
• Document research findings through technical write-ups, advisories, internal reports, and blogs
• Partner with Detection Engineering, SOC, Hunt, Product Research & Marketing teams
• Own & nurture the cross-department relationships critical to successful product delivery & launch
• Eagerness to engage, report, and be accountable to executive stakeholders.
• Passion to translate your expertise in nontechnical ways to deliver impactful security outcomes that protect the 99%
• Promote Huntress’ reputation through media interaction, public speaking, and blogs
• Educate the public on how to be security savvy in novel and fun ways

What You Bring to The Team:

• Proficient knowledge of cloud attacks (Azure and/or Google) and how to detect them
• Proof of Concept (POC) development
• Comfortable reading API documentation for SaaS applications and programming languages
• Experience with conducting searches and creating visualizations in Elastic and Kibana is a plus
