Who is Tenable? Tenable® is the Exposure Management company. 44,000 organizations worldwide rely on Tenable to understand and reduce cyber risk. Our global employees support 65% of the Fortune 500, 45% of the Global 2000, and large government agencies. Come be part of our journey!
What makes Tenable such a great place to work? Ask a member of our team and they’ll answer, “Our people!” We work together to build and innovate best‑in‑class cybersecurity solutions for our customers, creating a culture of belonging, respect, and excellence. When you’re part of our #OneTenable team, you can expect to partner with some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry, and have the support and resources you need to do work that truly matters. We deliver results that exceed expectations and we win together!
Your Role Tenable is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our VM Platform team. Our team sits at the center of our Tenable One architecture; we ingest massive volumes of assets and find data from collection teams, process it to calculate the “state of the world” for our customers, and feed it to downstream search and reporting products.
We are not just building web apps; we are solving a complex Big Data problem. You will build and maintain the high‑throughput, event‑driven pipelines responsible for processing the history of assets and vulnerabilities. You will move beyond simple CRUD operations to design systems that handle massive scale, ensuring that when we say an asset is vulnerable (or patched), that data is accurate and available in real‑time.
Your Opportunity
Build the Future of Exposure Management: We are currently developing the backend that powers Tenable’s flagship Exposure Management (EM) platform.
Solve Complex Data Problems: Work on “team‑named data processing” challenges. Design logic that collapses millions of incoming findings into a single, accurate state record.
Architect for Scale: Transition our systems to a new architecture designed to be faster, cheaper, and more reliable.
Own Your Stack (DevOps): Deploy, monitor, and ensure the health of your services in production using Terraform and Datadog.
What You’ll Need
4+ years of Backend Engineering experience with a focus on high‑volume data processing or distributed systems.
Strong JVM Proficiency: Deep experience with Java, Kotlin, or Scala.
Event‑Driven Architecture: Proven experience with Apache Kafka (preferred) or RabbitMQ.
Distributed Systems Knowledge: Understanding of microservices, eventual consistency, and data resiliency.
Stateful Processing Logic: Experience calculating “state” from a history of events.
DevOps Mindset: Hands‑on experience with Terraform and observability tools like Datadog.
Database Experience: Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL stores (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or similar).
Ideally
Experience with Event Sourcing or CQRS patterns.
Background in migrating legacy services to modern architectures.
Security background is a plus; Big Data/Data Pipeline experience is primary.
Compensation for this role depends on experience and location. Employees are also eligible for variable compensation. Tenable offers comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance; 401(k) with match; stock purchase plan; referral program; flexible spending accounts; Employee Assistance Program; education assistance; parental leave; PTO; company‑paid holidays; health and wellness events; and community programs.
US Pay Ranges: $136,500—$181,833.33 USD
We’re committed to promoting Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) at Tenable through all equal employment opportunity laws and regulations. If you need a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please contact Recruiting@Tenable.com for further assistance.
