Senior Manager, Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organisations.

Founded 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 are seeking an experienced leader to own the strategy, execution, and growth of our North American Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting (DE&TH) operations.

• Efficacy & Accountability: You are responsible for the results of the NA region.

What You Bring To The Team:

• Proven Management Experience: 5+ years of experience leading technical security teams (Detection Engineering, Hunting, or IR), with specific experience managing distributed or remote teams.
• Strategic Mindset: You can balance local autonomy with global alignment.
• Technical Gravity: While you are less involved in day-to-day coding than a Team Lead, you possess the technical depth to guide Staff/Principal Engineers.
