Description

Reports to: Director of Adversary Tactics Location: Remote US Compensation Range: $190,000.00 to $210,000.00 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 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 Adversary Tactics team has the unique honor of waking up every morning knowing we’re going to 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 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 out reports for our customers. These reports may also be used for marketing and help 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 and Analysts 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 that fall below the enterprise poverty line. This collaboration is needed to produce and prioritize a unified technical vision, ultimately delivering our most impactful features and capabilities. We defend over 4+ million endpoints and 7+ million identities and counting, across tens of thousands of mid-sized and small business customers and that number continues to grow each month. Considering this market’s tighter budget, it’s impossible to dedicate human analysts to each client. The Adversary Tactics team addresses this challenge head-on by providing input to build and scale highly automated efficiencies—often lightly augmented by our Security Operations Analysts—that make intruders earn every inch of their access while maintaining affordability and healthy gross margins.
