## 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.

As a Staff SDE on the Sensor team, you'll lead large-scale platform initiatives from design through production, set the technical bar for the Sensor Skill Community, and translate business-level goals into durable engineering decisions.

Responsibilities:

- Lead large-scale Sensor Platform initiatives in close collaboration with product, infrastructure, and engineering peers

- Own root cause analysis and postmortems for complex production and canary issues

- Establish and champion standards for documentation, test harnesses, observability, and performance benchmarks across the sensor codebase

- Translate business goals into concrete technical plans and delivery milestones

- Identify and close gaps in observability, reliability, and developer experience

- Elevate the team through mentorship, design reviews, and code review across all experience levels

Qualifications: Required:

- 8+ years of experience designing, developing, and debugging distributed systems software

- Deep Rust expertise across asynchronous and concurrent programming, ownership discipline, and performance-sensitive systems design

- Demonstrated experience architecting or leading a significant systems initiative end-to-end

- Strong grasp of concurrent system design

- Experience with high-performance packet capture and Linux systems programming for low-latency workloads

- Proven ability to lead root cause analysis on complex, multi-component failures and drive durable fixes

- Experience with message queuing or broker systems under production load

- Awareness of how sensor reliability and data fidelity directly affect detection quality in ICS/OT network monitoring environments

Preferred:

- Experience with eBPF or XDP for kernel-bypass packet processing, AF_XDP socket programming, or high-speed capture at the Linux data plane

- Prior work in ICS/OT environments, industrial network protocol analysis, or OT security tooling

- Familiarity with Kubernetes, containerized sensor deployments, or edge infrastructure

- Experience with OpenTelemetry, structured logging, or distributed tracing in production systems

- Prior experience in a security-focused product engineering environment
