Production Artist

Reports to: Head of Creative Strategy, User Training 

Location: Remote US

Compensation Range: $80,000 to $90,000 base plus bonus and equity

What We Do: 

Founded in 2015 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.  Huntress enables IT providers and resellers to stop hidden threats that sneak past preventive security tools.

Through a combination of expert human threat hunters, a comprehensive platform, and a desire to make the world a safer place, we’re working to deliver cybersecurity to the 99%—those small to midsize businesses that make up the backbone of our economy. 

Join the hunt and help us stop hackers in their tracks!

What You’ll Do:

Huntress is growing fast and part of that growth is due to the acquisition of a Security Awareness Training platform called Curricula.The Production Artist will join our fun Curricula animation studio to help us fix boring employee security awareness training. Our team delivers short, animated stories to teach employees about cyber security throughout the year. Companies around the world depend on our team to create fun, informative, and engaging training content that makes security stick with their employees. You'll be joining our small animation studio team to create an animated world of heroes, villains, and stories that all help educate everyone to stay safe against online threats.

We need your help to bring our characters and stories to life. If you're excited about animation and teaching others, we want to hear from you!
