Job description

At Dragos, the mission is personal. The systems we protect deliver the water you drink, power your home, and keep the hospitals your community depends on running. Those critical infrastructure systems that power our civilization around the world are under attack every day by adversaries. When those systems fail, people are immediately at risk. We are the global leader in xOT cybersecurity, combining technology, threat intelligence, and expert services. The people here chose this work because they understand what is at stake. Here, you will find a remote-first mission-driven team across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC built on authenticity, transparency, and trust. If safeguarding the systems that protect your family, friends, and community is the kind of work that matters to you, you are in the right place.

About the Role:
We're seeking a highly skilled Staff Device Engineer to join our Device Engineering team as a strong individual contributor. In this role, you will tackle the toughest reverse engineering, fingerprinting, and automated control challenges across the network-connected devices that power critical industrial environments. No two devices are alike - each one is its own challenge. You will own complex technical work end-to-end, contribute deep subject-matter expertise to the team, and partner with product, threat research, and reverse engineering peers to deliver capabilities that defend our customers' operations.

Responsibilities:

Reverse engineer and automate control of network-connected devices, taking on the most complex devices and protocols
Drive identification and fingerprint network-connected devices across embedded, IoT, and OT/ICS endpoints
Architect and evolve our device interaction application, owning challenging components end-to-end
Set technical direction on complex device issues and bugs, including hard-to-reproduce and protocol-level problems
Leverage AI tools and coding assistants as a core part of your day-to-day engineering workflow—including reverse engineering research, code generation, debugging, test creation, and documentation
Write efficient, well-documented production code that other engineers can build on with confidence
Design and maintain automated test cases and frameworks that ensure the integrity of our device coverage
Build and improve internal tooling and automation that accelerates the Device Engineering team
Mentor engineers, lead code reviews, and grow the technical depth of the team through pairing, design reviews, and knowledge sharing
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, reverse engineering, threat research, and customer-facing teams to translate field needs into engineering outcomes

Qualifications:

6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a track record of shipping production systems and owning complex technical work
Deep expertise developing and debugging in Node.js, with strong fundamentals in modern JavaScript/TypeScript
Strong reverse engineering skills, including network protocol analysis, traffic capture interpretation, and device behavior reconstruction
Proficiency with relational databases, including schema design and query optimization for large datasets
Strong command of Unix/Linux environments, including systems-level debugging and performance analysis
Working proficiency with Docker and containerized development and deployment workflows
Solid understanding of network transport and application layer protocols (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, and common embedded/industrial protocols)
Strong command of regular expressions and pattern-based parsing for protocol and device fingerprinting
Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, lead technical design discussions, and influence direction across teams
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, remote-first environment
Bonus: experience with ICS/OT environments, embedded systems, or xIoT device security
