Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE | $120~160k+, bonuses, equity (RSUs)

https://tanium.com/careers/

I just joined Tanium in January, and it's already my favorite job I've had in my ~15 year career. I like the product, I like my team, I like the culture. I also never feel like I'm the smartest guy in the room.

Our product is basically computer management/security for government and large enterprises, but the special part is that it's fast - even when working with a more than a million computers. Our customers love it.

We're hiring for all kinds of roles, but the ones I'm most familiar with are Product Engineering and Technical Account Managers (TAM).

I'm on Product Engineering; the core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js - we'll probably upgrade from AngularJS to something newer eventually, but it works for now). There's also small but growing amounts of Rust and Python.

TAMs make up the largest portion of our ~650 people, and are a big part of why customers love us. Most of our TAMs have a technical background: sysadmin, ops, programming, etc. There's also a fair amount of switching between TAM and Product Engineering.

The pay range above is just what I was told for my particular role; I actually pushed them a little higher, so it's definitely not a hard upper limit. The bonuses are also incredible - approaching fintech levels.

Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site]



Some clarification:

* The majority of our TAMs are primarily remote and occasionally visit a satellite office that we have in various cities (NYC, Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Toronto, etc.)

* The majority of our product engineering team works on site in either SF or RTP. (That said, I am currently a remote product engineer.)

* TAM roles are more technical than you probably expect from something with "account manager" in the name. It is customer facing, but it also frequently involves programing, operations, and other engineering sort of work. I think that TAM and Product Engineering were initially the same team at Tanium.

* We are also hiring for Security, Data Science, EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response), various Director-level roles, and more. Each of these categories include some remote roles. See https://tanium.com/careers/ for more details.

* Several people emailed me resumes. That wasn't really my intention, although I did forward the ones I received along to our recruiting team. (And, apparently I get a bonus if we hire someone that way!) The one thing they asked me was: what specific role each individual was interested in. So, while I'm happy to forward along your resume, please let me know what role you're most interested in.


And, to add some further clarification: we're only considering US-Remote for Product Engineering roles.

For TAM roles, besides the US, we're also looking for people in or around Switzerland, France, Japan, and Australia.
