Job Description:

This role is responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting the Tanium platform across enterprise endpoint environments. The engineer will manage Tanium infrastructure components, onboard endpoints, configure and administer Tanium modules, and provide L2 support for platform and endpoint issues. Working under senior guidance, the role contributes to platform stability, endpoint visibility, and operational efficiency across the managed device fleet.

Job Responsibility:

Deploy and configure Tanium Server, Tanium Module Server, Zone Proxies, and Tanium Client across enterprise environments
Execute Tanium platform deployments following defined architecture standards, deployment runbooks, and organizational guidelines
Manage Tanium Client deployment at scale across Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints using GPO, SCCM, Intune, and script-based methods
Configure Tanium Zone Proxies for DMZ and remote site endpoint connectivity and visibility
Set up and configure Tanium modules post-deployment including Tanium Patch, Deploy, Interact, Inventory, Comply, and Connect
Manage Tanium platform SSL certificates, authentication configurations, and RBAC role assignments during and post-deployment
Execute Tanium platform upgrades, module updates, and hotfix deployments following change management procedures
Validate post-deployment platform health — server connectivity, client registration rates, module functionality, and data accuracy
Document deployment configurations, architecture decisions, and post-deployment validation results for knowledge transfer
Support proof-of-concept (POC) and pilot deployments for new Tanium modules or platform expansions
Administer day-to-day Tanium platform operations including server health monitoring, client connectivity, and module performance
Monitor Tanium Server and Module Server health, disk utilization, database performance, and service availability
Manage Tanium Client health across the endpoint fleet — identify and remediate non-reporting, unhealthy, or disconnected endpoints
Configure and maintain Tanium computer groups, management rights, and content set assignments for organized endpoint management
Develop and maintain Tanium saved questions, sensors, and packages for endpoint data collection and targeted actions
Manage Tanium action approvals, deployment targeting, and action history reviews for audit and governance compliance
Support Tanium RBAC configuration — user roles, permissions, computer group access, and content set boundaries
Troubleshoot Tanium Client registration failures, SSL errors, and connectivity issues between clients and Zone Proxies
Perform routine Tanium platform maintenance — database cleanup, log management, index optimization, and performance tuning
Handle L2 escalations for Tanium platform issues, documenting root cause findings and resolution steps
Operate and support Tanium Patch for enterprise patch deployment — configure patch lists, maintenance windows, and deployment targeting
Manage Tanium Deploy for software distribution — create software packages, define deployment configurations, and monitor rollout success
Use Tanium Interact for real-time endpoint querying, ad-hoc diagnostics, and targeted endpoint actions
Administer Tanium Inventory for software and hardware asset discovery, tracking, and reporting across managed endpoints
Support Tanium Comply operations — scan endpoints against CIS and STIG benchmarks and report compliance posture
Configure Tanium Connect for data export integration with SIEM, ITSM, and reporting platforms
Monitor module-specific dashboards and act on non-compliant or at-risk endpoint findings within defined SLA windows
Assist in developing Tanium Comply benchmark customizations and tailored compliance profiles under senior guidance
Manage end-to-end Tanium Client onboarding for new endpoints, sites, and organizational units
Coordinate endpoint onboarding activities with infrastructure, desktop, and server teams to ensure full platform coverage
Validate client registration, sensor data accuracy, and module functionality for newly onboarded endpoints
Manage client configuration files, tanium-init.dat distribution, and client version standardization across the fleet
Support decommissioning and offboarding of endpoints from the Tanium platform following defined procedures
Track onboarding progress and report endpoint coverage metrics to senior engineers and management
Develop PowerShell and Batch scripts to automate Tanium Client deployment, health checks, and remediation tasks
