Job summary

Dragos, a global OT/IoT cybersecurity leader, seeks a Device Engineering Manager to lead the team building device intelligence: scanning, fingerprinting, and profiles across customer networks. You will guide reverse engineering efforts, set standards, and drive automation while collaborating with product managers and field teams.

This remote-first role supports North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC, with responsibility for production deployments and incident response.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of engineering management experience.
• Experience with Agile and cross-functional Product Teams.
• Strong technical background in software interacting with network-connected devices across embedded/IoT/OT-ICS endpoints.
• Experience with Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Python, relational databases, Docker, and Unix/Linux systems-level debugging.
• Direct experience leading reverse engineers on protocol or firmware analysis.
• Understanding of TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, and embedded/industrial protocols.
• Experience shipping software onto customer-managed or on-prem infrastructure.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of device engineers and reverse engineers, guiding growth and career development.
• Drive hiring and team growth to meet roadmap demands.
• Own the technical strategy for device coverage and reverse engineering investment.
• Set standards for reverse engineering outputs, documentation, fingerprints, and tests.
• Champion automation of repeatable work, from device-model authoring to data collection and test replay.
• Promote adoption of AI-assisted development tools and workflows.
• Collaborate with product management to define scope and device support.
• Translate field needs into engineering outcomes across teams.
• Own production support for deployments, including on-prem environments and incident response.
• Foster device engineering and reverse engineering communities within the org.
• Maintain core technical competency by reading code and debugging production issues.

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 areimmediatelyat risk.We are the global leader inxOTcybersecurity, combining technology, threat intelligence, and expert services. The people here chose this work because they understandwhat isat 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 are looking for a Device Engineering Manager to lead the team that builds our device intelligence: the scanning and fingerprinting that discovers and classifies every asset on a customer network, the profiles and probes that pull information off those devices, and the actions we take on them, including credential rotation, firmware updates, certificate management, and configuration change control.
A core part of this team is device reverse engineering. These engineers work out how a deviceactually communicateswhen there is no documentation to rely on and turn that understanding into automated, supported product capabilities. You will set the direction for where that reverse engineering investment goes and hold the documentation and test standards that make it reusable rather than one-off.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and mentor a team of device engineers and reverse engineers, driving their technical growth and professional development through regular 1:1s and continuous 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, and make sure new device work moves the module boundary forward instead of adding to what we will have to unwind later.
• Set and hold the standards for reverse engineering output, including protocol and device documentation others can build from, fingerprints and profiles, and automated tests that protect the boundary as code generation gets cheaper.
• Champion automation of the repeatable work the team does by hand today, from device-model and profile authoring to firmware and vulnerability data collection to capture-based test replay.
• Champion the 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, and participate in incident response.
• Foster the device engineering and reverse engineering skill communities across the organization, regardless of reporting structure.
• Maintain your core technical competency: read code, review designs, and debug production issues directly.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of engineering management experience.
• Management experience with Agile and working in cross-functional Product Teams.
• Strong technical background in software that interacts with network-connected devices across embedded, IoT, and OT/ICS endpoints.
• Prior experience as an engineer with some combination of Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Python, relational databases, Docker, and Unix/Linux systems-level debugging.
• Direct experience leading or working closely with reverse engineers on protocol or firmware analysis
• Solid understanding of network transport and application layer protocols (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, common auth schemes, and common embedded and industrial protocols).
• Experience shipping software onto customer-managed or on-prem infrastructure.
• Hands-on daily use of AI-assisted development tools, and judgment about when not to trust them.
• Comfortable reading code and debugging production issues directly.
• Cybersecurity, OT/ICS, or xIoT device security experience is strongly preferred.

Compensation:

• Salary: $220,000
• Competitive Equity Package
• Comprehensive Benefits Plan
