- Experience and knowledge of best practices for scalable delivery, core platform systems, site reliability engineering, and developer experience

What the job involves
- Reports to: Vice President, Engineering
- Huntress seeks an experienced leader to elevate our platform engineering teams and deliver purpose-built products for small and midsize organizations
- In this role, you’ll be responsible for teams that develop our product platform and infrastructure, including products that power our security operations, detection engines, and threat-hunting capabilities

- Deliver performant, scalable products iteratively, helping your teams balance incremental customer value delivery with long-term product evolution

- Attract, recruit, and retain top engineering talent
- Hire and coach engineering managers to continue to build and enable great teams
- Set clear expectations with your leaders, provide regular feedback, and conduct performance conversations to foster a high-performing engineering team
- Identify opportunities and implement improvements to both the product and engineering practices and processes to optimize efficiency, quality, and time-to-market

Our take
Huntress addresses the need for robust cybersecurity solutions for small to medium sized businesses, which make up 99% of the US business landscape.
Many SMBs don’t have the resources to protect themselves against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, so it offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks.
Huntress has shown strong growth since launching in 2015, and has been able to attract plenty of venture investment to expand its headcount into the hundreds.
With substantial funding, acquisitions, and new product launches to back it up, the company is eyeing up a major international expansion into the UK, Canada, Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
