Senior Cybersecurity Engineer
About the role
The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Bluestaq owns the defensive posture of software systems that underpin national security decisions — space domain awareness, satellite command and control, and the infrastructure behind them. This is not a scan-and-report seat. You close vulnerabilities, build detection logic that catches real threats, and lead incident response when things get loud. No playbook required. If you need to be told what to look for, this isn't the right level.
At Bluestaq, we build secure data platforms that matter for space missions, national defense, healthcare systems, and commercial innovation. Founded in 2018, we've become a leader in enterprise software and secure data management by staying focused on what counts: modern architecture, operational excellence, and mission impact. We're engineers, problem-solvers, and builders who take the mission seriously, but not ourselves. We automate the repeatable, question the status quo, and design systems that are as reliable as they are scalable. Whether we're supporting space, defense systems, or healthcare advancements, we build with the same principles: cloud-native solutions, security by design, and relentless simplicity.
Responsibilities
- Own the full vulnerability lifecycle — scanning with vulnerability management tools, triage by mission risk, remediation tracking, and verified closure across the fleet.
- Build and tune detection rules in SIEM tools (Splunk, Elastic, ArcSight, Sentinel, etc.) mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics relevant to Bluestaq's threat model.
