Remote Cybersecurity Support Specialist at Huntress — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Eastern Time Zone Requirement — A Hard Constraint for Nomads
This role is explicitly limited to candidates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET), which significantly narrows location flexibility. While Huntress is a 100% remote-first company, you cannot freely roam across time zones for this position. Digital nomads operating from Europe, Asia, or even the US West Coast would not qualify without aligning their working hours to ET (UTC-5/UTC-4).
Viable nomad destinations within or adjacent to ET:
- Medellín, Colombia (UTC-5, no DST) — aligns perfectly with ET year-round. Cost of living is very low vs. the $50K–$65K salary. A comfortable lifestyle runs ~$1,500–$2,000/month.
- Mexico City, Mexico (UTC-6/UTC-5 with DST) — close overlap; manageable with a 1-hour buffer. Monthly costs ~$1,800–$2,500.
- Lisbon, Portugal (UTC+0/UTC+1) — a 5–6 hour gap makes this impractical for ET business hours.
Perks relevant to nomads: The $500 home office stipend, $75/month digital reimbursement, and annual professional development allowance are useful for setting up a remote workspace anywhere. However, this role is US-only, so visa-free stays (tourist visas) in LATAM destinations are the most practical approach for short-term travel.
Bottom line: this is a remote-but-timezone-anchored role. Best suited for nomads based in the Americas.
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 6M endpoints and 16M 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.
