Staff Platform Engineer at Huntress builds, monitors, and scales the multi-region cloud infrastructure behind its security platform — authoring Kubernetes controllers and IaC in Go/Python/Ruby/Terraform and running observability with Datadog, using AI coding agents day to day. 100% remote (US), $200k–$220k base plus bonus and equity.
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.
Title: Staff Platform Engineer
Reports to: Engineering Manager
Location: Remote US
Compensation Range: $200,000 to $220,000 base plus bonus and equity
What You'll Do:
Huntress is expanding our Platform Engineering team and looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who brings unshakeable resilience to complex infrastructure challenges. In this role, you will build, monitor, and scale the core cloud infrastructure supporting our security platform. You will step up to own platform infrastructure resilience and tackle complex problems across multi-region environments. Variety is built into this role: one week you might author custom Kubernetes admission controllers, and the next you are tackling multi-region capacity failover automation or tracking down obscure memory leaks in production pods. AI coding agents are part of how this team works, and you will be expected to use them to move faster without loosening the bar on what reaches production.
You will get a full handle on our infrastructure stack and drive high-impact roadmap initiatives that directly keep our production environment rock-solid. We do not wait for permission to fix things here. You will spot platform bottlenecks, step up with concrete solutions, and stay unshakeable under system chaos. Beyond immediate infrastructure work, you will build a strong reputation across the engineering organization as a trusted technical partner who delivers measurable outcomes.
