Built In What We Do:

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 16M 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.

Responsibilities:

Represent IT with Internal Innovation to collaborate on AI adoption, feature enablement, and governance. Design modular, resilient integration patterns and automation pipelines with secure data handling, role-based access control, and least-privilege principles built in. Analyze operational inefficiencies, identify high-value opportunities, and deliver data-informed recommendations and roadmaps to leadership. Re-engineer meaningful parts of the operational layer with AI, using tools such as Claude and Glean to create reusable workflows that preserve human judgment, security, and measurable outcomes.

What You Bring To The Team:

You have 7+ years of experience in automation engineering, systems integration, or a similar technical leadership role, with experience on or partnering closely with IT teams. You have set automation strategy, translated organizational goals into practical roadmaps, and guided initiatives from concept through adoption. You have hands-on experience with enterprise workflow platforms, API-based integrations, and Microsoft tooling such as Azure, Entra, and Intune, along with Python or JavaScript/TypeScript scripting and version-controlled delivery practices. You understand SaaS security, identity and access management, credential protection, privacy-aware data handling, and the risk assessment of new integrations. You can diagnose root causes, weigh automation against manual processes, and make clear decisions about where standardization creates the most value. You communicate technical trade-offs clearly with engineers, business partners, and executive stakeholders, and you can guide teams toward maintainable solutions. You have re-engineered workflows with AI and can design reusable systems that let tools such as Claude and Glean run meaningful parts of the operational layer while keeping human judgment, security, and measurable outcomes in the loop.
