Reports to: Senior Manager, Product Research

Location: Remote US and Canada only

Compensation Range: $120,000 to $160,000 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:

Do you like getting into the weeds on all things technical, psychological, and educational and have a desire to know how things work? Then this is the position for you. We are looking for that jack of all trades who brings broad experience to each challenge presented. The Huntress ThreatOps team has the unique honor of waking up every morning knowing we’re going to make hackers regret targeting our partners and customers. As a ThreatOps Product Researcher, we’re looking for someone who wants to pour all of their creativity into building and implementing simple solutions that are disproportionately effective at countering these constantly evolving threats. One should have experience managing, deploying, and securing SMB environments utilizing a wide variety of security software, best practices, and automation tools. Familiarity with product management, incident response, social engineering, psychology, education, and managed service provider tools are additional ways to differentiate yourself.

As you can imagine, success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. An effective Product Researcher fosters highly collaborative environments between the Product, Engineering, and Threat Operations teams to accelerate our mission and secure the 99% of businesses that fall below the enterprise poverty line. This collaboration is needed to produce and prioritize a unified technical vision that ultimately delivers our most impactful features and capabilities.

We defend over 2.5M endpoints across 33,000+ mid-sized and small business customers and that number continues to grow each month. Considering this market’s tighter budget, it’s not financially possible to dedicate human analysts to each client. The Threat Operations team addresses this challenge head-on by building and scaling highly automated efficiencies—often lightly augmented by our SOC — that make intruders earn every inch of their access while maintaining affordability and healthy gross margins.

Responsibilities:

• Strengthen the human element, the fastest-growing attack vector for cybercriminals; manage human risk and create a strong culture of security across thousands of small and medium-sized businesses
• Translate technical cybersecurity research results into social engineering attack learning scenarios that wildly improve security outcomes for nontechnical users
• Transform current threat intelligence, proprietary telemetry, and SOC incident data into actionable attack learning scenarios that zoom in and out of the threat landscape according to company goals
• Author the phishing scenarios used by our products utilizing HTML, CSS, and proprietary platform tools
• Deconstruct hacker tactics into learning modules and scenarios that increase cybersecurity awareness for nontechnical users
• Educate the public on how to be security savvy in novel and fun ways
• Build toward a metrics-based approach that establishes benchmarks and goals tied to user behavior change resulting from security learning scenarios
• Evaluate, recommend, and improve upon existing technical and non-technical solutions to detect and respond to human cyber risk
• Proven organizational and project management skills, with a keen attention to detail and a sense of urgency to deliver an exceptional product under tight deadline pressures
• Eagerness to engage, report, and be accountable to executive stakeholders
• Passion to translate your expertise in nontechnical ways to deliver impactful security outcomes that protect the 99%
• Promote Huntress’ reputation through media interaction, public speaking, and blogs

What You Bring To The Team:

• Proven track record performing Social Engineering Offensive Security engagements
• Experience in social engineering remediation training
• Experience in authoring social engineering lures that educate the user rather than catch them (or both)
• Experience translating current trends in cyber security to actionable learning content for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience researching emerging tradecraft
• Experience with eLearning design and development

What We Offer:

• 100% remote work environment - since our founding in 2015
• Generous paid time off policy including vacation, sick time, and paid holidays
• 12 weeks paid parental leave
• Highly competitive and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits plans
• 401(k) with 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution
• Life and Disability insurance plans
• Stock options for all full-time employees
• One-time $500 reimbursement to build/upgrade home office
• Annual allowance for education and professional development assistance
• $75 USD/month digital reimbursement
• Access to both Udemy and BetterUp platforms for coaching, personal, and professional growth

We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other legally protected status.
