What this role involves

Reports to: Chief Security Officer

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $220,000 to $240,000 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 11M 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.

What You’ll Do

We are seeking a strategic leader to own the future of Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting at Huntress. As a Director, you will manage multiple sub-teams (via Managers) and serve as a trusted advisor to the Sr. Dir of Threat Detection and Response.

Your mission is to align the DE&TH function with the broader company strategy. As we scale, you will determine the structural, technological, and budgetary requirements needed to maintain superior detection efficacy. You will own the relationship with the Product organization. Ensuring that our defensive strategy evolves faster than the adversaries we protect against.

Responsibilities

  • Strategy & Vision: Set the direction, strategy, and vision for the entire DE&TH function. You will define the team’s 12-18-month prioritization.
  • Manage a team of Managers: You will manage at least two teams or sub-teams via other managers. Your focus is on developing their leadership capabilities, enabling them to execute effectively, and holding them accountable for the health and output of their team.
  • Budgeting & Planning: Propose and own plans for budgeting, execution, and hiring. You will develop capacity models to ensure our team’s growth aligns with our overall growth, presenting these resource needs to executive leadership.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Strategize with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, and Security. You are a key stakeholder in the company’s direction, advocating for the telemetry and architectural changes required to support future detection use cases.
  • Systemic Problem Solving: Identify and surface patterns to leadership regarding root causes of problems. You anticipate future challenges and own the delivery of solutions before they become bottlenecks.
  • Culture & Standards: Exemplify and hold others accountable to the management standards of the company. You are responsible for creating a diverse, inclusive, and high-performing culture across the entire function.

What You Bring To The Team

  • Strategic Leadership: 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with significant experience managing managers. You have led large, high-priority projects that impacted the company’s direction.
  • Visionary Thinking: You can look past the current quarter. You understand the “Macro” of the threat landscape and can translate that into a “Micro” plan for your teams.
  • Business Acumen: You understand how a SOC fits into the business model. You can articulate the ROI of detection engineering and threat hunting to non-technical stakeholders and manage a department budget.
  • Force Multiplier: You excel at empowering others. You don’t solve problems for your team; you build the structures and frameworks that allow your team to solve problems themselves while you focus on accountability and scalability.

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 of paid parental leave
  • Highly competitive and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits plans
  • 401(k) with a 5% contribution regardless of employee contribution
  • Life and Disability insurance plans
  • Stock options for all full-time employees
  • One-time $500 reimbursement for building/upgrading home office
  • Annual allowance for education and professional development assistance
  • $75 USD/month digital reimbursement
  • Access to the BetterUp platform for coaching, personal, and professional growth

Security Head of Security & Business AI Applications at Anrok

Lead corporate IT, application security, compliance programs, and build AI-powered internal tooling infrastructure for a rapidly scaling fintech company.

Exec Posted 26 days ago RemoteFirstJobs Product
What this role involves

Anrok is the leading tax automation platform enabling businesses to expand globally without compliance complexity.

As the digital economy has grown 6x over the last decade, software businesses have gone from not worrying about sales tax to needing to monitor exposure, calculate rates, and file returns across 20+ US states and many countries worldwide. This creates a critical bottleneck for companies that should be able to transact with customers everywhere.

Anrok eliminates this complexity by connecting with billing and payment systems to automate tax monitoring, calculations, and filing end-to-end. Our unified platform handles the ever-changing maze of tax laws at municipal, state, and federal levels—so companies can focus on growth, not compliance.

Our customers include:

  • 40% of Forbes Top 50 AI companies

  • 20% of Forbes Top 100 Cloud companies

  • Top companies like Notion, Anthropic, and Cursor

We’re making compliant digital commerce a reality for companies big and small, backed by over $100M from leading investors including Spark Capital, Sequoia, Index, and Khosla Ventures.

We’re looking for an experienced technology leader to own and evolve Anrok’s internal technology infrastructure as we scale. As our first Head of Security & Business AI Applications, you’ll be the single owner of corporate IT, application security, compliance obligations, and AI-powered internal tooling—building the systems that let a rapidly growing team operate securely and efficiently. This is a high-impact role reporting to our COO, with direct influence over how Anrok runs as a company.

In this role, you will

  • Build the infrastructure to support teams building AI-powered internal tools and infrastructure, deploying LLM-based automations, internal copilots, and agentic workflows to improve how Anrok operates at scale

  • Lead Anrok’s application security program, partnering with engineering to identify risks, drive secure development practices, and protect sensitive customer financial data

  • Own corporate IT infrastructure and operations—including endpoint management, SaaS stack administration, and IT support—managing and developing our IT team member

  • Own all compliance obligations end-to-end, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR—serving as the DRI for audits, renewals, and cross-functional readiness

  • Develop and enforce security policies, access controls, and governance frameworks that grow with the business

  • Partner with Legal and Finance on data privacy obligations, vendor risk management, and third-party security assessments

  • Evaluate, procure, and manage the internal technology stack, ensuring we’re using the right tools as we scale

  • Report on security and compliance posture to executive leadership as needed

What excites us

  • 10+ years in IT, security, or a related technical role, with 3+ years in a leadership position at a scaling tech company

  • Hands-on experience building or deploying AI/LLM-powered internal tools or automations—you default to AI-first solutions for operational problems

  • Strong application security fundamentals—you can review AppSec findings, work with engineers on remediations, and evaluate risk without needing to write the code yourself

  • Genuine familiarity with GDPR and international data privacy obligations, relevant to a fintech handling customer financial data across jurisdictions

  • Track record of building lightweight but durable compliance and governance programs—practical, not checkbox theater

  • Proven ownership of SOC 2 Type II renewals end-to-end—you’ve been the DRI, not just a contributor

  • Technically credible with strong business fluency: you can present to a board, negotiate a vendor contract, and review a penetration test in the same week

  • Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, builds scalable systems, and knows when to automate vs. hire

What we offer

  • The equity upside of an early-stage startup with the product-market fit of a later-stage company.

  • Daily lunch and snacks for those working out of our office hubs.

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100%.

  • One Medical membership covered, flexible sick benefits, and more.

  • Annual learning and development stipend for books, online courses, and conferences, as well as a curious team to share your learnings with.

  • Home internet reimbursement stipend.

  • Wellness reimbursement program.

  • Annual team off-sites and in-person opportunities around our growing Anrok hubs.

  • Home office setup stipend to ensure you have the equipment you need to thrive at work.

At Anrok, we embrace a dynamic and flexible hybrid work environment based out of our growing office hubs - San Francisco, New York City, Salt Lake City, and Dublin where we collaborate in-person 3 days per week.

Please be aware, job-seekers may be at risk of targeting by malicious actors looking for personal data. Anrok recruiters will only reach out via LinkedIn or email with an anrok.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Anrok via other sources should be ignored.
