Job Overview

Huntress is seeking an experienced Director of Engineering to lead our platform engineering teams and deliver purpose-built products for small and midsize organizations. As a key member of our leadership team, you will be responsible for developing and executing a shared product and technical vision with architecture and product management leaders.

In this role, you will be responsible for teams that develop our product platform and infrastructure, including products that power our security operations, detection engines, and threat-hunting capabilities. We are looking for a passionate, inclusive engineering leader who can bring state-of-the-art engineering practices and deep experience in developing teams and people to accelerate our next growth phase.

At Huntress, we work with low walls between disciplines because we believe good ideas are everywhere and the best products come from teams working to deeply understand our customers, experiment, and validate our products.

Responsibilities
  • Deliver performant, scalable products iteratively, helping your teams balance incremental customer value delivery with long-term product evolution
  • Drive the technical roadmap and best practices for our Product Platform [Core, Business, SOC, Detection, Infrastructure] solutions so they are scalable to accommodate rapid growth and increased user demand
  • 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
  • Partner with other engineering leaders, product leaders, and architects to ensure our teams and technology are in sync and meet customer needs
  • Collaborate with Huntress's Architecture, Product Management, and Threat Operations teams to integrate their expertise and needs into our products
Requirements
  • 10+ years of experience in engineering leadership building SaaS products in a modern SaaS environment
  • 3+ years of experience at the director level or higher
  • Experience and knowledge of best practices for scalable delivery, core platform systems, site reliability engineering, and developer experience
  • Experience developing, evolving, and maintaining high-volume, scalable solutions
  • Deep understanding of organizing engineering teams to deliver customer value iteratively and experience with various approaches such as hypothesis-driven development, Shape Up, Scrum, and Kanban
  • Skilled at hiring, building teams, leading and coaching managers, and performance management
  • Demonstrated success working with architecture and product management leaders to develop and execute a shared product and technical vision
  • Experience in a fully remote environment
  • Helpful but not required: experience working with both on-premise agents and web applications
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
