Staff Software Engineer - Integrations Team

Blackpoint Cyber is the leading provider of world-class cybersecurity threat hunting, detection and remediation technology. Founded by former National Security Agency (NSA) cyber operations experts who applied their learnings to bring national security-grade technology solutions to commercial customers around the world, Blackpoint Cyber is in hyper-growth mode,  fueled by a recent $190m series C round. 

What if you could help stop the next ransomware attack before it cripples a hospital, a small business, or a city? What if you could protect your family's business, your doctor down the street, or the government services you rely on every day?

As a Staff Fullstack Engineer on Blackpoint's Integrations Team, you won’t just write code — you’ll define the technical direction that enables Blackpoint to protect thousands of hospitals, cities, and businesses 24/7 against modern threats. You'll lead with AI, mentor engineers, and set the standard for what a modern, AI-first integration team looks like.

You'll work alongside other Staff engineers and engineering leadership to help shape modern software development at Blackpoint. You'll lead high-value initiatives, directly contribute to new security capabilities and threat responses, and deliver real, weekly value to our customers. You'll also encourage and train others, raising the bar for the entire organization.

Why This Work Matters

Every integration you help architect directly strengthens Blackpoint’s ability to detect and stop cyberattacks in real time. The systems you design and the engineers you mentor will have a direct impact on the security posture of thousands of businesses worldwide. This isn’t abstract; your work defends real people and real communities.

What You’ll Own

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Lead the design, development, and delivery of third-party integrations that realize Blackpoint’s product roadmap. Integrations will leverage RESTful APIs, webhooks, event-driven pipelines, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

• Drive architectural decisions across the integrations portfolio. Ensure solutions are robust, secure, and scalable enough to handle data volumes for the millions of endpoints and users we protect 24/7.

• Set the standard for code quality, testing strategy, and engineering excellence through hands-on leadership.

AI-First Engineering & Transformation

• Leverage extensive experience with AI platforms (Cursor, Claude, Codex, Antigravity) to fundamentally accelerate how the team designs, builds, tests, and ships.

• Help build and maintain agentic AI ecosystems with skills, commands, sub-agents, context files, and MCP integrations.

• Architect context documentation and MCP-based tooling systems that make AI dramatically more effective across the team, not just for yourself.

• Pioneer new AI capabilities and develop novel approaches to applying AI across integration development, testing, and observability.

How We Work

• You’ll work alongside both human colleagues and agentic AI collaborators, delivering meaningful outcomes weekly, not in monolithic monthly releases. As a technical lead, you’ll help shape this cadence and hold the bar for what “done” and “good” looks like.

• Establish best practices for integration observability (Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch) and incident response. Help build the monitoring culture, not just the dashboards.

• Partner with Product, Architecture, Platform, UX, and alliance teams to scope and design work, ensuring alignment with roadmap and strategy goals.

• Coach and mentor engineers on integration patterns, AI-first practices, and scalable architecture — while learning from teammates along the way.

• Dedicated to quality. You take pride in what you deliver and how it impacts our systems, teammates, and customers. Ensuring your code works through testing, automation, and good documentation is a guiding principle, not an afterthought.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of fullstack development experience with demonstrated technical leadership in fast-paced, enterprise-level environments (TypeScript, React, Node.js, Kubernetes, SQL databases, No-SQL datastores).

• Extensive experience using AI coding platforms (Cursor, Claude, Google Antigravity, Codex) as core development tools. You’ve already transformed your own workflow and can show others how.

• You’ve built or extensively experimented with fully agentic AI development pipelines. Building and maintaining skills, commands, sub-agents, context files, and MCP integrations is second nature.

• Experience architecting context documentation and MCP-based systems that make AI effective at the team level, not just the individual level.

• Deep API and MCP design expertise (REST, GraphQL, webhooks, Model Context Protocol) with security-first mindset.

• Hands-on experience with observability platforms (Grafana, Datadog) and incident management workflows.

• A track record of driving architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and delivering high-impact work in startup-speed environments.

Even Better If You Have

• Experience leading AI transformation initiatives: documentation centralization, AI training and advocacy programs, SDLC modernization, automated QA pipelines, or building AI-first team cultures.

• Background in cybersecurity, MDR, or security operations environments.

• Experience building integration frameworks and connecting to external vendors and systems.

• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or data pipeline design at scale. Familiarity with ETL workflows, n8n, or data delivery platforms is a bonus.

• The curiosity to find a new AI tool on Monday, have it helping the team by Friday, and teach others about it the following week.

Our Engineering Philosophy

At Blackpoint, we believe the best Staff engineers don’t just adopt AI; they fundamentally reshape how their teams build software with it. We’re building a culture where AI is the foundation of how we design, build, test, and ship. Where integration engineers don’t just connect APIs; they build the strategic platform that makes our entire ecosystem more powerful and constantly ahead of threat actors.

If building systems that protect people around the world — and helping your team work faster through AI transformation — excites you, we want to talk.
