Senior Security Engineer - Vulnerability Research
The Basics
Tanium is looking for a security engineer to join the Vulnerability Research team within the R&D Security organization, which protects the software and cloud services our customers depend on.
Tanium's customers secure some of the most consequential networks in the world and they extend us a great deal of trust. The Vulnerability Research team is responsible for hunting for previously-unknown vulnerabilities in our software and driving them to remediation before attackers can exploit them.
In this role, you will continuously raise the bar for attackers, making vulnerabilities in Tanium software harder and more expensive to find. Tanium is leveraging frontier models and developing agentic security workflows to scale and accelerate the find-and-fix loop. You will apply your deep security expertise to decide what to hunt for and streamline the vulnerability discovery, triage, and remediation processes.
What you’ll do
- Decide which attack surfaces and bug classes to go after and build the capability needed to discover new vulnerabilities
- Triage newly discovered vulnerabilities quickly and accurately, ranking them by exploitability and actual impact
- Make remediation easy for engineering by providing high-quality patch guidance and working pull requests in addition to the vulnerability reports
