Principal Software Engineer, SOC Experience (Ruby/Rails)
Compensation: $215,000 to $240,000 base plus bonus and equity
Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.
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 work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.
Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.
The Huntress team seeks a Principal Software Engineer to join our Security Operations Center (SOC) Experience team. This team builds the systems that enable Huntress’ human-led SOC to operate at scale across investigative workflows, protecting our customers and our partners’ customers. The team’s work is about building the operational backbone for modern SOC execution: live triage and investigation experiences, workflow-driven automation, agentic investigation capabilities, remediation actions, and customer-facing reporting. The team also owns the steady stream of operational work as new detections, products, and capabilities come online across the Huntress platform. Your contributions will help Huntress improve analyst efficiency, reduce toil, and drive customer outcomes as we scale protection for the 99%.
As a Principal Software Engineer at Huntress, you will provide technical leadership across this space by shaping architecture, decomposing ambiguous problems, and driving execution on the highest-leverage work. You will partner closely with engineering, product, UX, and SOC stakeholders to turn operational pain points into reliable, auditable, and scalable systems. This includes empowering and enabling analyst investigation workflow, establishing behavior and safety rails for assisted and automated actions, improving observability and operational metrics, and raising the bar for reliability, maintainability, and delivery quality across the team. You’ll be expected to go deep in the code when needed, mentor senior engineers, and help the organization make pragmatic technical decisions that improve analyst effectiveness, partner outcomes, and Huntress’s long-term ability to innovate in the industry with confidence.
We make full use of AI coding tools to enable you to accelerate your development. We don’t cap token usage. We expect you to use AI and all tools responsibly.
