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.\nYou'll design and build the services behind Connect, shape its technical direction, and mentor engineers on the team.
