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 4M+ endpoints and 7M+ 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 team is looking for an innovative and highly motivated Senior Software Engineer with excellent problem-solving and communication skills to join our API Experience team. This team is responsible for the public APIs, webhooks, and deep integrations with third party professional services automation tools (PSAs) and other partner platforms that power how customers and partners connect to the Huntress Platform.

You’ll own and deliver end-to-end features across our API and integrations surface area: designing, developing, and releasing reliable, secure, and well-documented APIs and integrations that make it easy for partners to adopt Huntress and for our product teams to build on top of a well-factored, cohesive platform. You will work alongside an innovative and diverse team of problem solvers that exhibit high energy, technical skills, and a drive to get things done and satisfy our customers. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll lean in heavily on hands-on implementation, while also influencing design, mentorship within the team, and best practices for API development across the organization as a whole.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end solutions using primarily Grape and Ruby on Rails.
• Own delivery, quality, reliability, and observability of API and integration features within the API Experience team’s domain
• Help define and uphold API standards across the team and organization
• Design and implement RESTful APIs that are secure, performant, and easy to use
• Build and maintain integrations with third-party PSAs and other partner systems, including data mapping, synchronization, and error handling
• Collaborate with product management and stakeholders across the product organization to break down requirements into well-scoped technical work
• Contribute to technical design discussions and propose practical solutions that balance correctness, maintainability, and delivery speed
• Write high quality, well-tested code; participate in code reviews and raise the bar for engineering excellence on the team
• Partner with support and customer-facing teams to troubleshoot and resolve API and integration issues in production environments
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to surface the data models and internal interfaces needed to build a maintainable and performant external API
• Mentor more junior engineers and provide guidance to deliver larger projects, including breaking down ambiguous problems into well-defined tasks, validating designs, and serving as POC for stakeholders

What You Bring To The Team:

• 8+ years of experience developing complex software products
• 5+ years of programming in Ruby on Rails
• BS in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent work experience
• Experience with relational databases such as Postgres and ORMs such as ActiveRecord
• Experience designing and implementing external APIs (REST, webhooks, GraphQL) and integrating with third-party APIs
• Excellent technical, diagnostic, and troubleshooting skills in a distributed system
• A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for delivering high quality software features

What We Offer:

• 100% remote work environment - since our founding in 2015
• Generous paid time off policy, including vacation, sick time, and paid holidays
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave
• Highly competitive and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits plans
• 401(k) with a 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution
• Life and Disability insurance plans
• Stock options for all full-time employees
• One-time $500 reimbursement for building/upgrading home office
• Annual allowance for education and professional development assistance
• $75 USD/month digital reimbursement
• Access to the BetterUp platform for coaching, personal, and professional growth
