Lead code reviews and provide constructive technical feedback to elevate engineering standards and promote best practices across the team
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex software defects and performance bottlenecks in both development and production environments
Mentor and support the growth of junior and mid-level engineers through knowledge sharing, pairing, and technical guidance
Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, tooling, and development practices to increase team velocity and code quality
Partner with security and infrastructure teams to ensure software is developed and deployed in alignment with Tanium's security and compliance standards

Minimum & Preferred Job Qualifications

Experience building and shipping AI-powered products or agents at scale, including LLM integrations and tool-calling
Hands-on experience building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server or integration that ran in a production environment
Experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and the data pipelines that support it
Experience building backend services and enterprise web applications that serve large user bases (for example, millions of users)
Experience with the full software development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment
Preferred: Experience working in a cybersecurity, SaaS, or enterprise software environment
Preferred: Foundation in security principles, such as secure design, authentication and authorization, and threat modeling
Preferred: Familiarity with cloud infrastructure platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
Other
Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Go, C++, Java, Python, or similar
Ability to prompt AI coding tools effectively and to read, understand, refactor, and debug the resulting code, regardless of language
