About The Position

Dragos is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our team in building the leading OT Security Platform. We work in a matrix-style engineering organization, which means in this role, you will be part of our Backend Community and supporting a new Product Team. To be successful at Dragos, you will need to be passionate about your craft, work well across disciplines, and care deeply about the customers and problems we are solving.

You don’t have an ego. You seek to continuously raise the bar, and you don’t allow artificial boundaries to impede you from solving difficult problems.
