As a senior Tanium Architect / Engineer you are going to support the enterprise implementation and operationalization of the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform on Tanium Cloud, including Tanium Core, Endpoint Management, and Exposure Management.

This is a highly hands-on senior technical role requiring an individual who can provide architectural guidance while actively building, configuring, integrating, and troubleshooting the platform. The ideal candidate has successfully implemented Tanium at enterprise scale across tens of thousands of endpoints and can drive technical decisions, recommend best practices, identify risks, and translate architecture into a stable, scalable production environment.

The engineer will work closely with Tanium professional services and customer security, infrastructure, network, ITSM, endpoint engineering, and automation teams. This individual will serve as a technical leader within the team while remaining deeply involved in implementation.

The goal is to maintain a native, standards-based Tanium environment with minimal unnecessary customization
, establish strong automation and operational guardrails, and enable the customer's internal team to become self-sufficient.

• Lead the hands-on implementation and build-out of Tanium Core, Endpoint Management, and Exposure Management
  within Tanium Cloud.
• Translate vendor-provided architectural direction into a scalable enterprise implementation.
• Review architecture against network segmentation, endpoint populations, bandwidth requirements, security requirements, change processes, and existing tooling.
• Identify technical gaps, risks, dependencies, and potential conflicts and recommend appropriate solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and drive architecture and implementation discussions across participating teams.
• Apply Tanium architecture, agent communication, module dependency, content, and scaling knowledge to implementation decisions.
• Maintain a native and standardized Tanium architecture wherever possible, avoiding unnecessary customization.
• Deploy, configure, and troubleshoot Tanium agents across Windows, Linux, and macOS
  environments.
• Support data center, cloud, server, workstation, and end-user endpoint populations.
• Drive pilot and production deployment waves.
• Monitor and remediate endpoint coverage, health, connectivity, and performance issues.
• Support post-deployment stabilization and hypercare activities.
• Establish automated and scalable agent lifecycle processes.
• Build dynamic endpoint groups rather than static groups
  to support scalable targeting and administration.
• Configure and maintain sensors, saved questions, packages, actions, computer groups, RBAC, and related platform components.
• Develop and test custom Tanium content using Power Shell, Python, and/or Bash
  .
• Build endpoint inventory, coverage, and operational reporting.
• Establish role-based access controls and technical guardrails designed to reduce the risk of unintended large-scale endpoint actions.
• Configure Tanium Connect and other required platform integrations.
• Configure automated operating system and third-party application patching.
• Establish maintenance windows, deployment rings, endpoint targeting, and approval workflows.
• Build, package, test, and deploy enterprise software and update workflows.
• Troubleshoot patching, software deployment, and endpoint-management failures.
• Configure policy enforcement and endpoint performance functionality as applicable.
• Support initial inventory and software/license-management use cases, followed by expanded patch-management capabilities.
• Drive rapid platform adoption, including early agent deployment and patching proof-of-concept activities.

• Configure vulnerability and compliance scanning against applicable security benchmarks, including CIS, NIST, STIG, and internal standards
  .
• Connect vulnerability findings with remediation workflows.
• Build security, compliance, operational, and remediation dashboards and reporting.
• Develop workflows connecting findings to automated remediation where appropriate.

• Design, implement, and validate robust Tanium and Service Now integrations
  .
• Integrate Tanium endpoint and asset information with the Service Now CMDB
  .
• Support CMDB-driven and two-way integration patterns between Tanium and Service Now.
• Enable CI and tag lifecycle changes to drive appropriate endpoint actions.
• Align business application,…
