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 Opportunity:\nOur architecture team has almost a hundred years of experience between its members. They have been CTOs and chief architects, they have founded startups, and they can still do the work. What we do not have is enough of that experience in the room in Tel Aviv.\nAs Technical Director, Architecture, you become the floating senior technical authority for our engineering teams in Israel: the person who carries any problem in the platform to a decision, especially when it crosses ownership boundaries or has no obvious owner. Your scope reaches beyond any single team, from the product groups to the systems that connect them, as we prepare to re-architect for what AI makes possible.\nYour Role:\nBe the Architecture Voice in Tel Aviv - Own the technical direction for problems that span product lines, and keep the big picture while teams move fast.\nTurn Requirements into Reality - Sit with Product Management as requirements arrive, challenge what is not viable, and reshape it into something we can build and scale.\nStay Hands-On - Write code, review designs and pull requests, and build the prototype that settles the debate with evidence.\nMultiply the Engineers Around You - Work with directors, senior staff and principal engineers as an extension of the architecture team, and mentor engineers at every stage.\nBuild with AI as a Daily Practice - Use AI across design, code and investigation, show the organization where it accelerates the work and where it misleads, and help shape how we build software next.\nWhat You'll Need:\n10+ years of software engineering experience with meaningful depth in architecture at scale; many on our team have 15 or more.\nDeep experience in distributed systems and cloud computing.\nA prior CTO, Chief Architect or equivalent senior architecture role.\nHands-on fluency: you can read an unfamiliar codebase, contribute to it, debug a distributed failure and review code with authority, in whatever language the problem needs.\nGeneralist range: you have shipped across more than one of services, data, infrastructure or delivery, and become productive in a new domain within weeks.\nEarned authority: people follow you because they respect your judgment, not your title.\nWorking fluency with AI-assisted development, including its failure modes.\nStrong written and verbal communication in English, comfortable working across a seven-hour time zone gap.\nBased in Israel, working from our Tel Aviv office.\nAnd Ideally:\nDepth in data processing and streaming (Kafka, Spark, Flink), cloud platform and Kubernetes, or CI/CD and release engineering.\nExperience with cybersecurity or security product platforms.\nExperience moving an organization from legacy patterns to modern architecture.\nPlatform engineering patterns, FinOps and cost optimization at scale.\nPatents, public technical writing or open-source contributions.\nIf this sounds like the environment where you do your best work, we'd love to meet you.\nTenable is committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) - through all applicable laws and regulations at the international, federal, state, and local levels.\nWe’re committed to promoting Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) at Tenable - through all equal employment opportunity laws and regulations at the international, federal, state and local levels.
