Job description

Dragos is looking for a Staff Engineering Support Engineer to join the Site Reliability and Support team, based in the United Kingdom. This role is a critical anchor for EMEA coverage, operating as a senior individual contributor embedded in a global team that handles Tier-3 customer escalation triage and cloud operations for the Dragos platform. You will report to the Engineering SRE & Support Manager and work closely with Customer Experience, Engineering, and Product Development teams across time zones to resolve high-impact issues and keep cloud-hosted customer deployments running reliably.

This person will directly support Dragos' mission by ensuring that industrial defenders running our platform in critical infrastructure environments get expert, timely engineering response - in their time zone., * Lead cross-team incident triage for high-impact customer outages and escalations, coordinating Engineering, Product, and Customer Experience response, and contributing to preliminary root cause analysis and postmortem documentation.

  • Develop and maintain observability for cloud-hosted customer deployments - build and refine system monitors, dashboards, and alerting to ensure proactive detection and fast response to platform health events.
  • Serve as the senior escalation point for complex support cases in EMEA, working cases that involve multi-component interactions, deep platform internals, and unusual failure modes beyond standard troubleshooting guides.
  • Translate field experience into documentation - author comprehensive scenario-based troubleshooting guides, playbooks, and knowledge base articles that Tier 1/2 support staff can act on independently.
  • Drive pattern recognition across the customer base - identify recurring failure modes, surface trends to product teams, and actively collaborate on permanent fixes rather than workarounds.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting complex distributed systems in production environments - comfortable reading logs, tracing component interactions, and isolating root cause under pressure.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure operations (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes), including day-to-day fleet maintenance and incident response.
  • Solid understanding of Linux systems administration and command-line tooling.
  • Experience supporting Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, or similar database platforms in a production environment.
  • Experience developing and maintaining monitoring and alerting infrastructure (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) - not just consuming dashboards, but building and tuning them.
  • Strong written communication skills with a demonstrated ability to produce clear, accurate technical documentation (RCAs, runbooks, postmortems) for both internal and customer-facing audiences.
  • Experience operating effectively in a customer-facing or customer-adjacent engineering role, with the judgment to balance urgency and thoroughness on competing priorities under SLA pressure.

Benefits & conditions

  • Salary: £76,000
  • Competitive Equity Package
  • Comprehensive Benefits Plan
