As a Senior Penetration Tester on the Dragos Professional Services team, you will lead advanced vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and adversary emulation activities within industrial technology environments.

  • Conduct ongoing research into threat actor TTPs, tools, and vulnerabilities, applying findings to active engagements and contributing insights that support detection development and Dragos technology advancement.
  • Deliver clear, technically accurate reports and client briefings that outline findings, security impacts, and prioritized remediation recommendations, while supporting customer readiness through exercises and workshops as needed.

  • Strong understanding of penetration testing methodologies (white, gray, and black box) and hands‑on experience with common offensive security tools such as Kali Linux, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Burp Suite Pro, and LOTL techniques.
  • Solid experience in cyber threats, attack vectors, exploits, and adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), with the ability to analyze network traffic and host‑based data effectively.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to produce high‑quality reports and clearly present technical findings to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
  • Self‑motivated and collaborative with the ability to work independently in a remote/distributed environment.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30% to support customer engagements.
