## Description

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

You will join Huntress, a remote-first team founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Detection Platform team, you will help build and rebuild systems that turn billions of raw telemetry events into signals for the 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).

Requirements:

- Deep experience designing, building, and operating production distributed systems at scale, primarily in Go

- Experience replacing or substantially re-architecting live, high-throughput systems

- Strong operability instincts and technical leadership across team boundaries

Preferred qualifications:

- Background in security operations or security engineering

- Experience with detection-as-code or rule- and DSL-driven systems

- Experience building platform tooling for non-engineer authors

The team uses a variety of technologies, including Go, Kafka, Temporal, Redis, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, and Kubernetes across AWS and Azure.

In return, Huntress offers:

- 100% remote work environment

- Generous paid time off policy

- 12 weeks of paid parental leave
