  • 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.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
