[Hiring] Senior OT Security Analyst @Dragos

Role Description

As a Senior OT Security Analyst on the OT Watch Complete team, you will help lead a frontline monitoring and triage unit responsible for identifying potential adversary activity in customer operational technology (OT) environments. You will work closely with other experienced industrial defenders and mentor junior analysts to investigate anomalous network behaviors, validate detection triggers, and support threat hunters and incident responders with high-quality escalations. You will also operate and maintain the Dragos platform on behalf of customers, helping manage vulnerabilities, tune detections, properly classify OT assets, and provide input on response recommendations.

This is a great opportunity for experienced cybersecurity professionals — especially those passionate about industrial security — to build hands-on experience in active OT security operations.

Responsibilities

• Lead shift operations, guiding analysts as they triage detection alerts and network telemetry from the Dragos Platform across customer OT environments.
• Serve as a senior investigator, digging into suspicious activity to identify misconfigurations, anomalies, and potential malicious behavior across industrial networks.
• Apply deep analysis and context to escalate findings to Incident Responders and threat hunters with clear, actionable documentation.
• Partner across teams — analysts, threat hunters, incident responders, platform engineers, and Detection Engineering — to tune detection logic, reduce false positives, and shape new Dragos Platform detections and playbooks.
• Write and deliver incident summaries and operational reports that give internal stakeholders and customers a clear read on what's happening in their environment.
• Support the full scope of OT Watch Complete, from asset classification and vulnerability management to hardening recommendations and direct customer information requests.
• Build expertise continuously in ICS/OT protocols, adversary tradecraft, and threat intelligence specific to industrial environments.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in network security, ideally with hands-on exposure to real-world threat investigation.
• Solid understanding of core networking concepts — TCP/IP, firewalls, DNS, packet analysis.
• Hands-on experience with security monitoring tools, such as IDS/IPS, SIEM platforms, or network traffic analyzers.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with close attention to detail.
• Genuine interest in ICS/OT cybersecurity and a drive to defend critical infrastructure.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while coordinating across distributed teams.
• Flexibility to participate in shift-based coverage and occasional weekend/on-call work as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on a Security Operations Center (SOC) team.
• Familiarity with OT protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, Ethernet/IP) and ICS environments.
• Applied knowledge of adversary tactics and frameworks relevant to OT (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK for ICS).
• Hands-on lab or internship experience in cybersecurity operations, threat hunting, or digital forensics.
• Experience in packet capture (PCAP) analysis or basic scripting (e.g., Python, Bash).

Compensation

• Salary: $110,000
• Competitive Equity Package
• Comprehensive Benefits Plan
