We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit.

Blue National

Security (BNS) builds and operates space systems for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. We’re looking for a Cyber Defense Analyst to monitor, investigate, and respond across BNS classified enclaves, mission ground systems, and labs. You’ll work real events on real national security systems, and you’ll do it alongside senior engineers who will teach you the setting rather than hand you a queue and walk away.

You’ll spend your days in consoles, terminals, and logging data. You’ll also get your hands on the tooling itself, helping deploy sensors, onboard log sources, and tune detections under the direction of our senior engineers. If you’re coming off a military cyber protection team, a government SOC, or a service watch floor and you want to keep growing technically rather than get slotted into a ticket queue, this is a strong landing spot.

Work security events and alerts across SIEM, EDR, network sensors, and audit logs. Pull the threads — pivot across host, network, and identity data to build a picture of what actually happened, and document it clearly. Serve as first responder during incidents.

Execute containment steps per playbook, preserve evidence, build timelines, and support senior engineers leading the response. Participate in structured hunts, initially alongside senior team members and increasingly on your own hypotheses as you learn what “normal” looks like here. Perform privileged user activity monitoring and audit log review in partnership with Security and Counterintelligence.

Provide heightened monitoring coverage during launches, mission operations, and other critical windows. Assist with sensor deployment, log source onboarding, and agent rollout across enclaves under engineering direction. Reduce false positives, validate rule coverage, and propose new detections based on what you find in the data.

We’ll help you build this skill if you don’t have it yet. 2+ years of hands‑on experience in security operations,



incident response, IT operations, or system administration or equivalent military/government cyber experience ~ Working knowledge of network protocols and Windows and Linux fundamentals ~ Understanding of common attack techniques and exposure to the MITRE ATT&CK; framework ~ Clear, concise written communication — your investigation notes will be read by senior staff and government customers ~ Government Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility and eligibility for SAP access determination; Equivalent military, government, or hands‑on technical experience is fully accepted. Prior military cyber experience (17C, 1B4, CTN, 1721, or equivalent) or CPT/CST assignment Any scripting exposure — Python, PowerShell, or Bash Query language familiarity — KQL, SPL, or similar Most early‑career defensive cyber jobs are queue jobs. You’ll sit next to the engineers building the enclaves, help deploy the sensors you’ll be watching, and see your tuning recommendations go live.

We’re hiring at this level specifically to grow people into senior engineers. Limited travel, up to 10% Must be able to obtain and maintain access to classified facilities; Other site ranges may differ At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the , we encourage you to apply anyway.
