Responsibilities
Build the Future of Exposure Management: We are currently developing the backend that powers Tenable’s flagship Exposure Management (EM) platform. You will be building the future that powers our EM platform
Solve Complex Data Problems: Work on "team-named data processing" challenges. You will design logic that collapses millions of incoming findings into a single, accurate state record
Architect for Scale: Transition our systems to a new architecture designed to be faster, cheaper, and more reliable. Your work will unblock integrations across the entire company
Own Your Stack (DevOps): We support our services in the wild. You won't just write code; you will use Terraform and Datadog to deploy, monitor, and ensure the health of your services in production
Qualification
Required
4+ years of Backend Engineering experience with a focus on high-volume data processing or distributed systems
Strong JVM Proficiency: Deep experience with Java, Kotlin, or Scala is required. You should understand memory management and performance within the JVM ecosystem
Event-Driven Architecture: Proven experience with Apache Kafka (preferred) or RabbitMQ. You understand topics, partitions, and how to process streams of data asynchronously
Distributed Systems Knowledge: You understand the challenges of microservices, eventual consistency, and data resiliency
Stateful Processing Logic: Experience calculating 'state' from a history of events. You understand how to take a stream of raw data and 'collapse' it into a current status
DevOps Mindset: Hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and observability tools like Datadog to monitor metrics and graphs
Database Experience: Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL data stores (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, or similar) to store and retrieve state data
Preferred
Experience with Event Sourcing or CQRS patterns
Background in migrating legacy services to modern architectures (e.g., Scala to Kotlin)
While security background is a plus, we value Big Data/Data Pipeline experience first. If you can process data at scale, we can teach you the security domain
