Senior Security Operations Center Analyst - East Coast

Reports to: Manager, Security Operations Center

Location: Remote, based in East Coast USA

Compensation Range: $95,000 to $115,000 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 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 “why” 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! 

The Huntress SOC 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 Senior Security Operations Center Analyst, we're looking for a seasoned expert possessing extensive knowledge of cybersecurity and IT principles. The successful Huntress Senior SOC Analyst will have but not be limited to a well-established track record of leading and actively participating in critical team and business unit initiatives. Such activities include a technical escalation point, creating training sessions/content associated with the training, and sharing important milestones while welcoming feedback for project-based endeavors with other senior members of the SOC and management team. 

We defend over 2 million endpoints, which continues to grow monthly. Considering this market’s tighter budget, it’s not financially possible to dedicate human analysts to each client. Our global SOC team addresses this by using highly automated efficiencies that make intruders earn every inch of their access.
