Tanium is a unified endpoint management and security platform: agentic AI for real-time visibility, patching, and risk remediation across endpoints. Backed by a16z and IVP.
About the role
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Connect team, you will own how Tanium data reaches the rest of our customers' tools. Connect is the module that moves endpoint data and events out of Tanium and into external systems such as SIEMs (security information and event management tools like Splunk), data warehouses, ticketing systems, cloud storage, and email. Customers run thousands of these exports on schedules, and a failed or slow export means their security team is working with stale data. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design and build scalable, reliable backend services in Node.js and Golang that collect, transform, and deliver large volumes of endpoint data to external destinations
- Design and evolve the APIs Connect exposes and consumes, with clear contracts, versioning, and backward compatibility
- Build and maintain integrations (connectors) to third-party platforms, handling their different authentication methods, rate limits, payload formats, and failure behavior
- Own delivery guarantees: retries, backoff, deduplication, and back-pressure (slowing intake when a destination can't keep up), so data is not lost or duplicated
- Lead technical design for new Connect capabilities, driving decisions across teams and writing design docs others can build from
- Improve observability (metrics, logs, tracing, alerting) so we find export problems before customers do
