Senior DevOps Engineer

United States

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: 
The DevOps team sits at the heart of Dragos's ability to deliver world-class security solutions that protect critical OT infrastructure around the world. We build, maintain, and evolve systems and CI/CD practices and related infrastructure to enable and accelerate engineering org-wide.

We are looking for an experienced DevOps engineer to help us deepen the reliability, observability, and operational excellence of engineering at Dragos. You will partner closely with all engineering teams to ensure end-to-end reliability and availability of build, deployment, and test pipeline infrastructure. Your work will impact the developer experience at Dragos in every way and be relied upon by critical security infrastructure globally. You bring a builder mindset, thrive in ambiguity and fast-moving environments, create clarity, and balance long-term platform investments with pragmatic execution.

Responsibilities: 

  • Set organizational standards for cloud reliability, observability, and operational excellence, including SLO/SLI frameworks, incident management practices, and the platform tooling that underpins them
  • Own the developer experience roadmap, identifying and closing systemic gaps in self-service infrastructure, CI/CD workflows, and operational visibility across engineering
  • Proactively surface systemic risks in our AWS infrastructure, IaC practices, and delivery pipelines, and drive organizational action before issues become incidents
  • Define & execute the long-term technical vision for CI at Dragos, advising leadership on architectural strategy, investment priorities, and systemic risk
  • Refactor, consolidate, and improve an existing, sprawling CI infrastructure into a single, reliable solution for use throughout engineering at Dragos.
  • Mentor engineers across levels and model the culture of engineering rigor, documentation, and cross-functional accountability expected across the organization
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of all infrastructure components, processes, and deployment workflows to facilitate knowledge sharing and continuity

Qualifications: 

  • 5-10 years of relevant experience in DevOps, site reliability, or infrastructure-related roles, including building and operating large-scale distributed systems or platform infrastructure; a background in security is a strong plus
  • Proficiency in AWS cloud services, Terraform, and container orchestration using ECS or EKS (Kubernetes/AKS and a second cloud such as Azure a plus) 
  • Deep Docker expertise - building and managing container images and their metadata, mastery of layer and cache optimization, and hands-on experience operating ECR (or comparable container registries). 
  • Experience operating artifact registries (Artifactory, Nexus) and hardening the software supply chain - artifact signing, SBOM generation, and build provenance/integrity 
  • Expert AWS knowledge across compute (EC2, ECS, Lambda), networking (VPCs, Transit Gateway, Route 53, CloudFront), storage (RDS, S3), and security (IAM, Secrets Manager, Systems Manager), with a track record of high-stakes architectural decisions. 
  • Deep understanding of OIDC and workload-identity federation - using OIDC for keyless CI to-cloud authentication (e.g. GitHub Actions to AWS IAM roles) to eliminate long-lived credentials 
  • Deep expertise in cloud reliability and operational excellence: SLO/SLI design, centralized observability, alerting strategy, and incident lifecycle management at production scale using metrics, logs, and traces to debug and optimize complex systems
  • Experience with modern AI tooling, security best practices, and building and integrating agentic solutions to improve existing engineering processes 
  • Proficient in Python, with GoLang being a nice-to-have for additional development capabilities 
  • Strong experience in building and managing bulletproof CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions (Buildkite a plus). Experience with migrating BitBucket or Jenkins pipelines to GitHub Actions a big plus
  • Experience setting CI/CD governance and delivery standards at an organizational level defining the self-service patterns teams build on, and driving platform adoption and architectural alignment across multiple teams to reduce toil and improve engineering velocity 
  • Data-driven approach to platform work - quantifying toil, lead time, and reliability, and building the business case for infrastructure investment with before/after metrics Clear and concise communication skills, both written and verbal, for effective collaboration and documentation

Compensation: 

  • Salary: $165,000
  • Competitive Equity Package  
  • Comprehensive Benefits Plan

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
