Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Blackpoint Cyber is at the forefront of cybersecurity, providing world-class threat hunting, detection, and remediation technology. Founded by former National Security Agency (NSA) cyber operations experts, we bring national security-grade solutions to commercial clients globally. Fueled by a recent $190 million Series C funding round, we are experiencing hyper-growth and are seeking a highly skilled Senior MDR Analyst to join our elite team for a weekend shift.
• In this critical role, you will be instrumental in safeguarding our clients' digital assets by analyzing and evaluating anomalous network and system events within our 24x7 Security Operation Center (SOC) environment. Your primary focus will be on conducting leadless threat hunting, proactively identifying and investigating potential security incidents before they can escalate.
• You will collaborate closely with other MDR Analysts, acting as a key resource for researching and investigating emerging cybersecurity threats. This includes serving as an escalation point of contact for advanced intrusion analysis, requiring a deep understanding of sophisticated attack methodologies and defensive strategies.
• A significant part of your responsibility will involve developing comprehensive incident analysis reports. You will work cross-functionally with various business units and directly with our customers to ensure that identified issues are thoroughly investigated, understood, and brought to a satisfactory resolution, minimizing impact and risk.
• To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our SOC operations, you will play a vital role in designing and building automation solutions. This will involve identifying repetitive or time-consuming operational tasks and developing scripts or tools to automate them, freeing up analyst time for more complex threat hunting and incident response activities.
• You will provide actionable threat and vulnerability analysis based on security events observed across a diverse portfolio of independent customer environments. This requires the ability to contextualize findings and deliver clear, concise recommendations tailored to each client's unique security posture and business needs.
• To stay ahead of evolving threats, you will be responsible for building and maintaining test lab environments. These environments will be used to research emerging techniques, analyze new malware, and test defensive controls. Your findings and insights will contribute significantly to both our internal knowledge base and our external threat intelligence offerings.
• You will also review sandbox technologies and analyze artifacts uncovered during your investigations. This involves leveraging various tools and techniques to extract Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and understand the full scope and impact of detected threats.
• As a Senior Analyst, you will be expected to mentor junior team members, share your expertise, and contribute to the overall technical growth of the MDR team. Your experience and insights will be invaluable in shaping our threat hunting methodologies and incident response playbooks.
• This role demands a proactive, curious, and detail-oriented mindset. You should be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of your investigations, and communicating complex technical information clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• The ideal candidate possesses a strong ethical compass, aligning with Blackpoint Cyber's core values of high-quality execution, ownership, and unwavering integrity. You will be part of an energetic and collaborative team that thrives on overcoming challenges in the dynamic modern cyber threat landscape, fostering a high-performance culture that enables continuous learning and professional growth.
• Your contributions will directly impact the security posture of our clients, helping them defend against sophisticated cyberattacks and maintain business continuity. This is an opportunity to apply your advanced cybersecurity skills in a rapidly growing company with a mission-driven approach.

🎯 Requirements

• Five (5+) years of experience in an information security role, with progressive relevant training and/or certification potentially substituting for one (1) 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 a Windows Environment, including malware analysis, malicious anomalies, abnormal network activity, root-level compromise, and forensic artifacts.
• Robust understanding of at least two of the following operating systems: Windows, Linux, or OSX.
• Experience in developing, refining, and performing leadless threat hunting analysis to uncover new or potential incidents and report on results.
• Ability to work shifts, including nights and weekends, is essential for this role.

• Competitive Health, Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance plans.
• Robust 401k plan.
• Discretionary Time Off (DTO).
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge cybersecurity technology and former NSA experts.
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities in a hyper-growth environment.
• Collaborative and high-performance team culture focused on integrity and execution.
