Reports to: Manager, Security Operations

Location: Remote AUS-This position has the flexibility to condense the work week, as long as hours include a full day Saturday and Sunday.

Compensation Range: $70,000 to $80,000 AUD 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: 

The Huntress SecurityOps 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 SecurityOps Analyst, we’re looking for someone who wants to be at the frontlines countering these constantly evolving threats. Experience with large-scale data categorization and classification, host-based threat hunting, malware analysis, and incident response are preferred and additional ways to differentiate yourself as being suited for this role.

We defend over 2 million endpoints across 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.
