We deliver results that exceed expectations and we win together!

Your Role:

Tenable OT Security was established through the acquisition of a pioneering Israeli cybersecurity startup, marking a major milestone in Tenable’s mission to provide proactive security for the world's most sensitive environments. Our solution offers critical visibility and risk management for Industrial Control Systems (ICS/SCADA), protecting essential infrastructures such as power plants, manufacturing floors, and smart buildings. While traditionally an on-premises solution designed to ensure operational continuity and prevent costly downtime, we are now evolving our technology to deliver market-leading risk visibility through advanced architectures and AI-driven capabilities. By combining deep on-premises expertise with proactive AI insights, we empower organizations to identify threats and network anomalies before any damage occurs
Your Opportunity:

  • Work on everything running on our OT appliance from network data collection and proprietary protocols to sophisticated logical algorithms, data manipulations, and APIs
  • Own your projects end-to-end, including design, development, testing, and deployment within an Agile environment
  • Integrate AI to proactively identify security threats
  • Build high-performance APIs and data-intensive systems primarily using Go
  • Contribute to the transformation of our core technology toward cloud- integrated architectures and advanced predictive analytics

What You'll Need

  • 5+ years of experience in backend and server-side software engineering, with a demonstrated ability to design and scale data-intensive systems and solve complex technical problems
  • Strong proficiency in a backend language such as Go, C/C++ or similar
  • Previous knowledge and experience with AI tools or integrating AI-driven solutions into products- an advantage
  • Solid understanding of TCP/IP protocols and Unix internals
  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (not a must; we're always looking for super talented people)

And Ideally

  • Cybersecurity domain knowledge
  • Experience developing network/packet sniffing applications
  • Understanding of LLMs and agentic work flows
  • Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or ML models into production systems
