Senior Software Engineer

Huntress is a remote-first cybersecurity company that makes enterprise-grade protection accessible to businesses through in-house technology and a human-led Security Operations Center. The Senior Software Engineer will build and operate core components of Huntress’s Agentic SOC, including LLM-powered investigation systems, analyst workflow tools, evaluations, and secure production services. The role works closely with technical leads, SOC analysts, product researchers, and product managers to deliver evidence-backed security features.

Responsibilities:

• Build the investigation system. You design, build, and ship the components that make agentic investigation work: the tools agents use to query telemetry, the logic that drives an investigation, and the structured, evidence-backed output that analysts and customers see
• Turn analyst expertise into agent behavior. You sit with SOC analysts and product researchers to understand how they triage and investigate a given kind of Signal, then encode that into what the agent looks for, what it gathers, and how it explains its conclusions
• Take toil off analysts’ plates. You build LLM-powered features that pre-process the output of tools analysts use every day. They summarize, correlate, and highlight what matters, so analysts spend their time on judgment instead of assembly
• Measure what you ship. You build and extend the evaluations that tell us whether the system is getting better or worse, and you back your changes with evidence rather than a handful of good-looking examples
• Build with a security mindset. The agent reads attacker-influenced data, runs across thousands of customer tenants, and can take action in customer environments. You think about how what you build could be misused or manipulated, and you design for it
• Build for production. You write reliable, observable, cost-conscious code that behaves well when models are slow, wrong, or unavailable. You operate what you build and help keep the system healthy as new detections and products come online
• Collaborate and raise the bar. You give thoughtful code reviews, help teammates get unstuck, share what you learn about building with LLMs, and contribute to technical discussions and design reviews with clear reasoning about tradeoffs
• Balance rigor with pragmatism. You know when to prototype quickly to learn something and when to slow down because the cost of being wrong is high
