\nReports to: Manager, Security Operations Center\n\nLocation: Remote, based in East Coast USA\n\nCompensation Range: $95,000 to $115,000 base plus bonus and equity \n\nWhat We Do:\n\nFounded 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. \n\nTodayโs cyber-attacks arenโt 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.\n\nHuntress 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.\n\nJoin the hunt and help us stop hackers in their tracks!\n\nWhat Youโll Do: \n\nDo you like puzzles or do you like to take things apart just to figure out how they work and then put them back together? Or do you look at everyday things and question โwhyโ and try to improve them? Or perhaps you enjoy researching security-related topics and sharing your findings/knowledge with people to help them grow? If so, then keep reading! \n\nThe Huntress SOC team has the unique honor of waking up every morning knowing weโre going to make hackers regret targeting our partners and customers.
