Senior Instructional Designer

Reports to: Senior Manager, Technical Training

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $105,000 to $140,000 base plus bonus and equity

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 14M 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.

The Senior Instructional Designer is where curriculum meets delivery. Working closely with the Training Manager and broader enablement functions, you will bring Huntress's security training programs to life through instructor-led experiences that are sharp, relevant, and built for retention. In this role, you are not just presenting slides. You are the person in the room reading the audience, adjusting in real time, and ensuring that what gets taught actually sticks.

This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable facilitating a live session and rolling up their sleeves to build the content that drives it, with the balance tilted toward content. Where gaps exist, you will create. Where materials are outdated or ineffective, you will improve them. The impact is direct: every analyst, responder, or security team member who leaves a session with sharper skills and clearer operational understanding is a direct result of this work.

We expect everyone at Huntress to use AI as a real part of how they work, not occasionally, but genuinely embedded in core workflows. Be ready to share how you use AI today and what it's helped you accomplish.
