This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on platform administration, custom content development, automation, and operational support. This opportunity is ideal for a seasoned engineer who thrives in complex, high‑scale environments and enjoys building solutions rather than simply maintaining them.

As a Tanium Platform Engineer, you will play a critical role in maintaining the reliability, security, and performance of the endpoint management platform across a large enterprise ecosystem.

• Develop and maintain custom Tanium content, including Sensors, Packages, and Saved Questions.
• Write automation scripts using Power Shell and/or Python to support endpoint management and operational efficiency.
• Integrate with Tanium REST and/or GraphQL APIs to extend platform capabilities.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints.
• Support production environments, respond to operational incidents, and manage platform escalations.
• Validate telemetry, tune alerts, and apply endpoint security concepts such as indicators of attack (IOAs).
• Manage source control of scripts, automation, and platform content using Git/Git Hub.
• Contribute to runbook and documentation development to support platform reliability and knowledge sharing.

• Proven experience administering the Tanium platform in a large enterprise environment.
• Hands‑on experience with Tanium server administration, module configuration, platform maintenance, and custom content development.
• Experience creating and maintaining custom Sensors, Packages, and Saved Questions.
• Strong experience with Power Shell and/or Python for automation and endpoint management, including scripting and automation workflows.
• Experience integrating with Tanium REST and/or GraphQL APIs.
• Strong troubleshooting experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems administration.
• Experience supporting production environments, operational incidents, and platform escalations, including incident triage and escalation.
• Working knowledge of endpoint security concepts, including telemetry validation, indicators of attack (IOAs), and alert tuning.
• Experience using Git and Git Hub for source control of scripts, automation, or platform content.
• Proficiency with Apache Kafka, API integrations, certificate management, and Postgres databases.
• Experience with data visualization and metrics, security logging, and platform reliability and monitoring.
• Familiarity with telemetry and observability tools such as Grafana and Telegraf.
• Experience with Logstash/Beats pipelines and runbook & documentation development.

• Experience with Tanium modules such as Patch, Deploy, Asset, Comply, Threat Response, or Discover.
• Velociraptor administration, VQL development, or DFIR/live response experience.
• Experience with endpoint security tools such as Crowd Strike, Jamf Protect, or Sysmon.
• Exposure to logging technologies including Logstash, Beats, Elasticsearch/Kibana, or Click House.
• Experience with Docker containers, Kubernetes, or Dev Ops tools such as Terraform, Jenkins, or Ansible.
• Familiarity with Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, Apache Spark, and the broader Big Data ecosystem.
• Experience using AI‑assisted development tools (Git Hub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.).
• Tanium certifications (TCA, TCO, TCP, or module‑specific certifications).
