Senior Software Engineer, PHP

Job Description

Reports to: Software Engineering Manager

Location: Remote, US and Canada Only

Compensation: $150,000 to $180,000 base plus bonus and equity

What We Do:

Founded in 2015 as a fully remote company by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress was built on a simple premise: to force hackers to earn every inch of their access.

Today's cyber-attacks aren't limited to large organizations with the security tools that can ward off threats. Hackers don't discriminate and will find a way to penetrate any vulnerability in any size business, which is why Huntress focuses on protecting those small to midsize businesses that make up the backbone of our economy.

Huntress stops hidden threats that sneak past preventive security tools by utilizing our award-winning security platform and expert human threat hunters through dynamic products, including Managed EDR, MDR for Microsoft 365, and Managed Security Awareness Training.

Join the hunt and help us stop hackers in their tracks!

What You'll Do:

Huntress is growing fast, and part of that growth is due to the acquisition of a security awareness training platform called Curricula. Some of the best and most sophisticated cybersecurity technologies today are being rendered useless by one simple thing: employees. Unlike other IT services, security isn't something you can set and forget. It requires constant vigilance, monitoring, and training—and everyday users need to play an active role as they strengthen their defenses. Huntress Security Awareness Training (SAT) delivers a powerful—and fun—combination of episodes, assessments, simulations, and reports to help employees become more cyber-savvy in the fight against bad actors. Your work as a Senior Software Engineer will help our clients and partners train their users and help them fix boring security awareness training.
