Over 40,000 organizations around the globe rely on Tenable to understand and reduce cyber risk. Our global employees support 65 percent of the Fortune 500, 50 percent of the Global 2000, and large government agencies. Come be part of our journey!\nWhat makes Tenable such a great place to work?\nAsk a member of our team and they’ll answer, “Our people!” We work together to build and innovate best-in-class cybersecurity solutions for our customers; all while creating a culture of belonging, respect, and excellence where we can be our best selves. When you’re part of our #OneTenable team, you can expect to partner with some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry, and have the support and resources you need to do work that truly matters. We deliver results that exceed expectations and we win together!\nYour Role:\nTenable's InfoSec team is looking for a Security Engineer to join our Security Engineering & Architecture group. This role was built deliberately to span disciplines rather than specialize in one: you'll split your time between securing our cloud environments and supporting general security engineering disciplines across the business - covering cloud and non-cloud systems alike. If you're early-career but curious across the breadth of InfoSec rather than narrowly focused on one domain, this role is built for you.\nYour Opportunity:\nSupport day-to-day cloud security operations - monitoring, triage, and remediation of findings across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP environments using CNAPP/CSPM tooling.\nContribute to Security Architecture Reviews for new systems, integrations, and vendor onboarding - regardless of whether the system in question is cloud-hosted, on-prem, or SaaS. You'll work directly with the architects and engineers who own this process today, learning the methodology and eventually taking reviews from intake to sign-off.\nHelp identify and document misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and insecure IaC patterns (Terraform/CloudFormation), and help track remediation through to closure.\nParticipate in risk assessments and threat modeling exercises for new projects - applying the same core analysis skills whether the subject is a cloud workload, an internal application, or a third-party integration.\nAssist with IAM/RBAC reviews and least-privilege efforts; flag static credentials, over-broad roles, and gaps in audit logging wherever they appear in the environment.\nBuild foundational familiarity with how AI/agentic systems intersect with our environment - cloud-hosted LLM services (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, GCP Vertex AI), the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and the basic risk surface of agent/tool-calling architectures and apply that awareness during reviews when these systems show up in scope.\nWork cross-functionally with engineering, GRC, and TPRM to keep architecture reviews and cloud findings moving - this role is a connective thread between teams, not a silo.\nWhat You'll Need:\n2-3 years of experience in a security engineering, cloud security, IT security, or related technical role (internships and adjacent IT/ops experience count).\nWorking knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - IAM fundamentals, networking basics, and common misconfiguration patterns.\nBasic understanding of security architecture review or threat modeling concepts (e.g., STRIDE, data flow diagrams) - or clear aptitude and interest in learning them.\nFamiliarity with core security engineering practices: least-privilege access, audit logging, secrets management (no static credentials), and secure configuration baselines.\nComfort reading documentation and asking good questions across unfamiliar systems - this role touches a lot of different architectures, so curiosity matters more than deep specialization in any one of them.\nStrong written communication - you'll be documenting review findings and cloud remediation guidance for technical and non-technical audiences alike.\nAnd Ideally:\nExposure to IaC security scanning (Terraform/CloudFormation) or CNAPP/CSPM/CIEM platforms.\nSome hands-on exposure to a formal architecture/design review process, even informally (e.g., reviewing a peer's system design for security gaps).\nBasic familiarity with AI/LLM concepts - prompts, context windows, tool/function calling, RAG - and awareness of frameworks like the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications or the NIST AI RMF.\nA relevant certification (Security+, AWS/Azure/GCP security certs, or similar) or equivalent self-directed learning.\nPrior exposure to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) relevant to architecture review sign-off\n#LI-Hybrid #LI-MS1\nThis is the base pay range for this position. Compensation for the role will depend on a number of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, skills, competencies, location and experience, and may fall outside of the range shown. Employees are also eligible for variable compensation in addition to base pay (commission for sales roles, bonus for non-sales roles), depending on company and individual performance.
