Staff CSIRT Analyst

Reports to: Director of Product Security and Incident Response

Compensation Range: $200,000.00 to $210,000.00 plus bonus and equity

As a Staff CSIRT Analyst, you will be the cornerstone of Huntress’ internal security resilience. You will act as the primary internal escalation point from our SOC, ensuring we protect ourselves with the same rigor and products we use for our customers. In this role, you will strategize with leaders across multiple functions to identify work streams and own the end-to-end incident response lifecycle. You will guide teams, determine key milestones, and proactively anticipate blockers that could hinder our response capabilities.

• Incident Response & Triage: Lead the identification, triage, and validation of security incidents through various telemetry sources, acting as the ultimate escalation point for the SOC.
• Strategic Preparedness: Drive organizational incident readiness by designing and executing practical response exercises (tabletops and purple teaming) to ensure first responders are prepared at all levels of our organization.
• Telemetry Optimization: Partner with engineering, product security, and detection engineering teams to tune existing telemetry sources to a high true-positive rate, reducing noise and increasing detection efficacy.
• Offensive Security Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Offensive Security team to identify visibility gaps and ensure proper coverage against modern threat actor TTPs. Partner with product security, engineering, detection engineering, and other applicable business units to close these gaps rather than treating them as a blocker.
• Continuous Improvement & Leadership : Lead cross-functional Post-Incident Reviews (PIRs) to extract critical lessons learned; own the lifecycle of resulting remediation tasks, driving specific tooling and process enhancements that harden organizational defenses and response against future threats.
• Stakeholder Communication: Develop and present comprehensive reports and "lessons learned" to stakeholders at all levels following major incidents or exercises.
• Documentation: Create and maintain playbooks, system configurations, and incident response standards to ensure scalability and supportability.
