Job description

• Tenable is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our core product engineering team. Focused on designing, developing, and maintaining cloud-based, state-of-the-art search solutions on top of our customers’ ever-evolving landscape of infrastructure in a scalable way
• As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you will have the opportunity to be part of implementing and maintaining a highly scalable, highly reliable cloud-native user interface and underlying microservices which utilize modern technologies and programming languages
• Building the Backbone, not just Processing Data: This role centers on crafting the services that enable data ingestion, storage, querying, and retrieval at scale. It’s about building the reliable and efficient ‘plumbing’ that powers the entire data ecosystem
• A critical aspect of this job is to build and manage services around data handling. Unlike typical data engineering roles that might focus primarily on querying and data manipulation, this role also demands building the infrastructure and services that support these activities
• Data Management: This role will be responsible for managing the ingestion, storage, and retrieval of data within the platform. This includes ensuring the robustness and efficiency of these processes
• Leadership: As a senior member of the team, you will have the opportunity to architect, design and implement features to help drive the overall architecture of our platform
• Innovate: Become a member of senior engineering teams driving on-going innovation of our global cloud architecture and distributed systems that serves our broad customer base with the latest cyber security technologies
• Learn new things: We provide a training budget for you to attend conferences or workshops
• Raise the bar: We are always looking for ways to improve ourselves, our tech stack, and our product features. Bring your ideas and experiences to the table and help make a lasting impact
• Collaborate: Work closely with Product Managers, other engineers, designers, and stakeholders to continuously iterate on our products and drive consensus. You will have the opportunity to support and mentor your peers inside and outside your team

Benefits

• Health: Comprehensive benefits to support physical and mental wellbeing and family-forming plans
• Work/Life Balance: Generous paid time off with hybrid or remote opportunities available for most positions
• Financial Savings and Security: Retirement plans, employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), equity incentives, life and disability insurance
• Professional Development: Customizable opportunities, including learning courses, mentorship, leadership programs and tuition reimbursement

• Experience developing in Java or Kotlin, and a willingness to learn new languages as needed
• Experience of working in containerized microservice architecture in Kubernetes
• Experience in developing core libraries, infrastructure, and search engines
• B.S. degree in Computer Science or a directly related field, or equivalent work experience
• The ability to work independently and as a part of a team, and to lead/drive projects as necessary
• 4+ years of software development experience in enterprise development and a desire to lead
• Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS, RabbitMQ or similar)
• Cross-platform development is a big plus
• The desire to continuously learn and be exposed to new technologies
• Experience with databases (SQL or NoSQL such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch)
• Experience in working in an Agile team, and an enthusiasm for working collaboratively within and across product teams
• Experience coaching and leading mid-level and junior staff in the design, implementation, and execution of highly technical development projects
• Experience in software development, particularly within a distributed, microservice architecture
• Accountability for the behavior of your software in production
• Experience in database performance tuning, schema design, query optimization in a distributed microservice architecture
