Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Senior MDR Analyst on the Swing Shift at Blackpoint Cyber, you will play a critical role in protecting commercial customers from sophisticated cyber threats by leveraging national security-grade technology and methodologies developed by former NSA experts. Your work will directly contribute to the company’s mission of delivering world-class threat hunting, detection, and remediation in a hyper-growth, $190M Series C-funded organization that values ownership, integrity, and high-performance execution.
• You will operate within a 24×7 Security Operations Center (SOC) environment, conducting lead-less threat hunting and serving as an escalation point for advanced intrusion analysis, ensuring timely and accurate response to security events across diverse customer environments while maintaining the highest standards of analytical rigor and ethical responsibility.
• Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing anomalous network and system events, collaborating with MDR Analysts to research emerging threats, developing detailed incident analysis reports, designing and building automation to streamline SOC processes, providing actionable threat and vulnerability intelligence, constructing test lab environments to study novel attack techniques, and reviewing sandbox outputs for additional indicators of compromise (IOCs) to enhance detection capabilities.
• You will partner with cross-functional teams and customers to drive incidents to resolution, contribute to internal and external threat intelligence knowledge bases, and continuously refine detection methodologies through hands-on experimentation and scripting in PowerShell, Python, and Go.
• The team at Blackpoint Cyber is composed of driven, collaborative professionals who prioritize ethical conduct, technical excellence, and continuous learning in the face of an evolving threat landscape. Backed by NSA-derived expertise and a culture of ownership, the organization fosters innovation through challenging work and mutual accountability.
• In this role, you will deepen your expertise in enterprise threat detection, gain hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure/M365), advance your skills in forensic analysis and malware reverse engineering, and position yourself as a subject matter expert in leadless threat hunting—opening pathways to leadership roles in cybersecurity operations, threat intelligence, or security architecture.

🎯 Requirements

• Five (5+) years of experience in an information security role, with progressive relevant training or certification acceptable to substitute for up to one year of experience
• Two (2+) years of experience triaging endpoint events from EDR, NGAV, and supporting the Incident Response (IR) process
• Deep knowledge of assessing threat indicators in Windows environments, including malware, malicious anomalies, abnormal network activity, root-level compromise, and forensic artifacts
• Robust understanding of at least two of the following: Windows, Linux, or macOS
• Familiarity with ELK stack (Dashboards, Logstash configuration, searching) and scripting/programming in PowerShell, Python, and Go
• Experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, IAM) and Azure/M365 environments

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive Health, Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance plans for eligible US employees
• Robust 401(k) retirement plan with company contributions
• Discretionary Time Off (DTO) policy enabling flexible, trust-based time away from work
• Additional minor perks supporting employee well-being and work-life balance
