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

Dragos is seeking an experienced Senior Vulnerability Analyst to join our Vulnerability Analysis Content Team. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in transforming vulnerability data from public sources into actionable intelligence tailored for operational technology (OT) environments. Working alongside a team of analysts and engineers, you will be responsible for evaluating, curating, enriching, and contextualizing vulnerability information from CVEs, NVD, vendor advisories, and various other sources to deliver high-quality findings to our customers. This role directly supports Dragos's mission to safeguard industrial infrastructure by producing timely, accurate, and OT-relevant vulnerability intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate vulnerability disclosures from CVE, NVD, CISA KEV, vendor advisories, and other public sources, and monitor emerging feeds to ensure timely coverage and assess relevance and impact to OT environments.
• Curate and prioritize vulnerabilities based on asset criticality, exploitability, and operational impact to industrial systems.
• Enrich vulnerability data by mapping affected products, firmware versions, and asset classifications to ensure comprehensive coverage.
• Translate technical vulnerability details into actionable, OT-contextualized content for the Dragos platform, including advisories, asset mappings, and mitigation guidance.
• Leverage platform telemetry and maintain product catalogs to identify detection gaps, prioritize coverage, and improve content accuracy.
• Mentor junior analysts by providing technical guidance and quality review of content outputs.
• Collaborate with engineering teams on content creation workflows and validation processes, and contribute to continuous improvement of team processes, content standards, and analysis methodologies.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in vulnerability analysis, vulnerability management, or a related technical security discipline, with a strong understanding of how vulnerabilities originate and work, and the ability to analyze them and provide clear remediation and mitigation guidance.
• Strong understanding of the CVE lifecycle, CVSS scoring, CPE, and vulnerability advisory interpretation, with working knowledge of vulnerability databases, threat intelligence feeds, and security content platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to map vulnerabilities to affected products, firmware versions, and asset inventories.
• Scripting experience in Python or a similar language (basic proficiency) to handle data at scale, such as querying databases and generating signatures, along with familiarity with command-line tooling and git workflows.
• Comfort using AI tools (e.g., Claude) in day-to-day work to improve analysis, content creation, and workflow efficiency.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, a self-driven approach to work, and the ability to produce clear, accurate, actionable technical content.
• Background in asset management or critical infrastructure sectors (e.g., energy, manufacturing, water, transportation) is a plus.
