Vulnerability Analyst

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' Vulnerability Analysis team identifies novel security gaps in the industrial control systems that power plants, water utilities, and manufacturing facilities depend on—and translates those findings into detections and actionable intelligence that defend critical infrastructure. As a Principal Vulnerability Analyst, you'll operate with high autonomy to identify research targets, perform in-depth vulnerability analysis, coordinate with affected vendors, and author vulnerability reports that shape how the industry understands emerging threats. You'll partner across threat intelligence, product engineering, and incident response teams to amplify the real-world impact of your work. Working alongside another vulnerability analyst, you'll serve as a recognized subject matter expert and trusted internal resource—mentoring researchers and penetration testers, driving methodology development, and helping identify gaps in the Dragos Platform's ability to detect new exploits.

Responsibilities: 

• Identify novel vulnerabilities in industrial products and control systems through strategic acquisition and rigorous analysis, assessing operational impact on both IT and ICS environments.
• Coordinate responsible disclosure with affected vendors and author clear, technically rigorous vulnerability reports for internal customers and public publication.
• Develop detection signatures (Suricata, YARA, internal analytics) and partner with product engineering to identify and close gaps in the Dragos Platform's vulnerability detection capabilities.
• Serve as a trusted internal resource to threat intelligence and incident response teams, assessing in-the-wild exploits, analyzing vulnerability trends, and integrating findings into broader threat intelligence.
• Contribute to the strategic vulnerability management roadmap and collaborate with customers and strategic partners on vulnerability research projects that advance collective defense.
