Tenable is looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join a hybrid function that bridges Security Response (SRT) and Decision Science Operations (DSO) within the Research Special Operations group. You will split your time between two complementary missions: responding to high-profile security events and producing the external-fighting content that positions Tenable as an authority, and applying quantitative analysis and operational design to help Research leadership make better, faster decisions about where to invest effort.

Day to day, you will monitor the threat landscape, coordinate Tenable's end-to-end security response process when a major vulnerability breaks, write the blogs and advisories that follow, and then turn around and ask “what does the data tell us about where we should focus next?” You will work across Research, Public Relations, Marketing, Product, and Program Management to coordinate and deliver actionable business results.

This is a strong fit for someone who wants hands-on security research balanced with the analytical, process-improvement work that shapes how a research organization operates.
