It&#x27;s orders of magnitude faster than most competition, and customers love it. Fortune called us the &quot;Usain Bolt of cyber­security&quot; [1], and Forbes put us at #4 on the Cloud 100 list [2].<p>The former CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is &quot;game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes.&quot; [3] The USAF used Tanium to patch all of their systems for WannaCry in 41 minutes and consider any system without our software as &quot;high risk&quot;. [4]<p>Fortune featured us as one of the best medium-sized places to work [5], and the Great Place to Work survey put us at #18 in Best Workplaces in the Bay Area [6].<p>Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, self-directed&#x2F;unlimited vacation time (most folks take 4-5 weeks), paid time off for volunteering, extensive parental leave, fertility and adoption benefits, and more.<p>Compensation is near FAANG levels with strong base pay, large annual bonuses, and equity in the form of RSUs. The recruiting team can share more details there.<p>We get everyone together 4 times a year to keep the remote staff from feeling too remote, and most teams do zoom calls for standup 2-3 times a week.<p>We have roles open in Engineering, Technical Account Management, Security, Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, HR, Accounting, and more. I called out a few interesting positions below.<p>Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site].<p>--<p>Senior Software Engineer - Tanium&#x27;s Product Engineering is an all-star team with a quality-focused culture. I&#x27;ve never felt like I was the smartest guy in the room here.<p>Every PR requires a code review and passing of automated testing before merging, and the ticket is later followed up with a verification to ensure the changes actually met the requirements.<p>No one says &quot;not my job&quot;, and depending on what you&#x27;re doing, you might find yourself writing C++, JavaScript (Node.js, React, AngularJS), Python, Go (golang), or Rust - I did all but one of those within the past year. (95% of my work is JS, though - you do mostly stick to your job ;)<p>On-site or US Remote: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tanium.com&#x2F;careers&#x2F;?p=department&amp;t=Engineering&amp;gh_src=b44d958b1#openings" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tanium.com&#x2F;careers&#x2F;?p=department&amp;t=Engineering&amp;g...</a><p>--<p>Enterprise Services Engineer - This is a new role in response to customer demand, where we&#x27;re managing Tanium software directly for customers instead of only training and advising their employees.<p>In particular, we are looking for a number of IT Professionals with active Top Secret or Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance (TS or TS&#x2F;SCI) in support of one of our Federal customers in the Ft.

As a TAM, you&#x27;d be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you&#x27;d be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.<p>(Note: &quot;Director&quot; is indicative of the responsibility level, but Director TAM is not a people-managing role.)<p>The organization also has open roles for Customer Success, Solutions Architect, and Enterprise Integration Developer.<p>TAM roles are primarily remote&#x2F;work from home, but we try to have them near the customers they support.
