Principal Microsoft Solutions Architect

Role: Principal Microsoft Solutions Architect Reports to: Sales Engineering Leadership, Channels and Alliances Location: Remote US Compensation Range: $235,000 to $245,000 OTE (80/20 split) plus 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’re looking for a Microsoft Solutions Architect who lives at the intersection of Microsoft security, field collaboration, and technical integrations. This role serves as the strategic technical overlay for Microsoft Security and cloud plus a set of high‑impact ecosystem partners. You’ll own the technical side of the Microsoft + Huntress story— Microsoft Security and M365 —and how Huntress EDR, ITDR, SIEM, and our SOC layer on top. You’ll design and validate integration patterns, support joint customer opportunities, and scale targeted enablement so field teams on both sides can independently tell a consistent, credible story. Partner with Product and Engineering to define which Microsoft APIs and telemetry streams Huntress builds against, in what order, and to what depth — owning the Microsoft-side integration point of view. Drive Huntress’s internal understanding of the Microsoft security landscape — including licensing changes, packaging shifts, and where those changes create product and GTM opportunity. Work with security-operations-adjacent stakeholders to ensure Microsoft telemetry and threat intelligence land cleanly in downstream investigative and response workflows. Partner closely with alliances and channel leadership to shape our joint technical value propositions. Act as the go‑to expert for Microsoft Security integrations and co‑sell opportunities. Turn customer and partner feedback into structured input for Product, PMM, and our SOC. Build reusable technical assets, demos, and training that raise the bar for how we show up with and through our alliances. Core Responsibilities Define Huntress’s technical point of view on Microsoft Security and M365, including coexistence, consolidation, managed service overlays, Microsoft Security licensing, and how Defender and Purview map to Business Premium, E3, and E5 realities. Architect and validate Microsoft telemetry and API integration patterns across Defender, Entra ID, Azure, Purview, M365, SIEM, and Huntress workflows, balancing cost, coverage, fidelity, and investigative value. Lead technical engagement for strategic Microsoft and ecosystem alliances, including joint customer calls, proof-of-concepts, integration scoping, and partner implementation planning. Translate partner, customer, product, and telemetry signals into structured roadmap input for Product, Engineering, PMM, and the SOC. Build scalable enablement, demos, labs, and field guidance so Huntress SEs, TAMs, alliance teams, and partner sellers can confidently position Microsoft-integrated Huntress solutions.
