Our mission and why it matters We’re on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer in every organization.
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities - and traditional awareness training isn’t enough.
As a rapidly growing multi-product company powered by six dedicated product teams, we take a comprehensive approach: combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to create robust security ecosystems. We don't just simulate risks; we build the tools that actively protect real people and organizations every single day.
Why this role matters Our Threat Security team sits at the core of Hoxhunt’s detection and remediation capabilities.
As a Software Engineer focused on Threat and Email Security, you will build the systems that security operators rely on to analyze threats, remediate inboxes, and keep organizations safe. This is a full-stack role and you’ll work on a product that processes and makes sense of real threats reported by users.
This is a chance to build security products that go beyond simulations and directly shape how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to attacks.
What you’ll own and drive
What success looks like In your first three months you will learn the core systems, contribute to threat remediation and start improving small parts of how the team works.
By month six you will independently manage projects end to end, contribute meaningfully to the product, and play an active role in improving how the team operates.
What Makes You Thrive HereYou Have
Bonus points if you also
Who you’ll work with: You will be joining one of our six specialized product teams in a highly collaborative and supportive group that values autonomy alongside cross-functional teamwork. We embrace a product-first and AI-curious mindset, seeing AI as a tool to enhance our creativity and efficiency. You will work alongside engineers and security operators who take initiative, thrive in ambiguity, and are just as passionate about refining how the team works together as they are about what they build.
