Dragos is the global leader in xOT (extended Operational Technology) cybersecurity, protecting critical infrastructure systems—water, power, hospitals—that are under constant attack. The company combines technology, threat intelligence, and expert services to safeguard the systems that power civilization.
You will lead the Device Engineering team responsible for building device intelligence: the scanning and fingerprinting that discovers and classifies every asset on a customer network, the profiles and probes that extract information from those devices, and the actions taken on them (credential rotation, firmware updates, certificate management, configuration change control).
A core part of this team is device reverse engineering. Your engineers work out how devices actually communicate when documentation is unavailable and turn that understanding into automated, supported product capabilities. You will set the direction for reverse engineering investment, establish documentation and test standards that make work reusable rather than one-off, and hold the team to high quality.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead and mentor a team of device engineers and reverse engineers, driving technical growth and professional development through regular 1:1s and career coaching
- Drive hiring and team growth to scale with roadmap demands
- Own the technical strategy for device coverage: prioritize which devices and protocols get reverse engineering investment, ensure new work moves module boundaries forward rather than creating technical debt
- Set and hold standards for reverse engineering output, including protocol and device documentation, fingerprints, profiles, and automated tests
- Champion automation of repeatable work (device-model authoring, profile authoring, firmware and vulnerability data collection, capture-based test replay)
- Champion adoption of AI-assisted development tools and workflows
- Collaborate with product management and tech leads to define scope, sequence device support, and resolve blockers
- Work across security research, threat research, and customer-facing teams to translate field needs into engineering outcomes
- Own production support for fielded deployments, including customer-operated and on-prem environments; participate in incident response
- Foster device engineering and reverse engineering skill communities across the organization
Dragos operates as a remote-first, mission-driven team across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC, built on authenticity, transparency, and trust.
