Key Responsibilities

• Architecture & Design: Design, scale, and maintain Tenable architecture (Security Center, Tenable.io/Tenable Vulnerability Management, and Nessus Scanners) across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid setups.
• Platform Administration: Oversee daily operations, including scan policies, repositories, RBAC, platform upgrades, plugin updates, and troubleshooting scan or connectivity issues.
• Vulnerability Management: Analyze scan results, prioritize vulnerabilities based on CVSS and business risk, and partner with IT/cloud teams to drive and validate remediation.
• Automation & Scripting: Write scripts to automate health checks, reporting, and operational tasks using REST APIs and JSON payload processing.
• Enterprise Integration: Connect Tenable platforms with ServiceNow, SIEMs (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), and Active Directory.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

• Core Platform Experience: 7–10+ years in vulnerability management with deep hands-on expertise in Tenable Security Center, Tenable.io (Tenable Vulnerability Management), and Nessus scanners.
• Vulnerability Frameworks: Solid knowledge of vulnerability management lifecycles, asset discovery, credentialed scanning, CVE, CVSS scoring, and CIS Benchmarks.
• Scripting & APIs: Basic to intermediate proficiency in Python, PowerShell, or Bash, with practical experience utilizing REST APIs and processing JSON data for operational automation.
• System Integration: Proven experience integrating Tenable with ServiceNow, SIEM solutions (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), and Active Directory.
• Operations & Maintenance: Hands-on experience with platform upgrades, scanner deployment, policy configurations, and troubleshooting scan failures or network issues.

Preferred Skillsets

• Cloud Exposure: Working knowledge of cloud security scanning mechanics in AWS, Azure, or GCP environments.
• Certifications: Tenable Certified Security Center Specialist/Architect, CISSP, CEH, or CISM.
• Governance & Compliance: Experience supporting security audits, compliance mapping, and executive metrics reporting.
