Senior Research Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "Who is Tenable?" and "What makes Tenable such a great place to work?" That's about company description. The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide sections: Likely "About the role" (description of role), "Responsibilities" (Your Opportunity), "Requirements" (What You'll Need), "Qualifications" maybe same as requirements? Could combine. "Skills" maybe not needed. "Benefits" (benefits listed). "Pay" (US Pay Range). "Schedule" maybe not present (no schedule details). So we should not include Schedule. We need to include "About the role" maybe includes the description of Tenable and role overview. The posting includes "Who is Tenable?" and "What makes Tenable such a great place to work?" That's company overview. Then "Your Role" description. Could combine into About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info: company description, role description, responsibilities (Your Opportunity), requirements (What You'll Need), ideally experience (And Ideally), benefits, pay range. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, accommodation, data consent statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to format with

  headings and appropriate content. Let's extract content: Company description: "Who is Tenable? Tenable® is the Exposure Management company. Over 40,000 organizations around the globe rely on Tenable to understand and reduce cyber risk. Our global employees support 65 percent of the Fortune 500, 50 percent of the Global 2000, and large government agencies. Come be part of our journey! What makes Tenable such a great place to work? Ask a member of our team and they’ll answer, “Our people!” We work together to build and innovate best-in-class cybersecurity solutions for our customers; all while creating a culture of belonging, respect, and excellence where we can be our best selves. When you’re part of our #OneTenable team, you can expect to partner with some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry, and have the support and resources you need to do work that truly matters. We deliver results that exceed expectations and we win together!" That's substantive. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without sponsorship. We are unable to provide sponsorship for work visas of any kind at the time of hire, or at any point during employment. This includes, but is not limited to: F1-OPT, F1-CPT, H-1B, TN, J-1, etc That's a requirement (work authorization). Should be included maybe in Requirements. Your Role description: "Tenable is looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join a hybrid function that bridges Security Response (SRT) and Decision Science Operations (DSO) within the Research Special Operations group. You will split your time between two complementary missions: responding to high-profile security events and producing the external-facing content that positions Tenable as an authority, and applying quantitative analysis and operational design to help Research leadership make better, faster decisions about where to invest effort. Day to day, you will monitor the threat landscape, coordinate Tenable's end-to-end security response process when a major vulnerability breaks, write the blogs and advisories that follow, and then turn around and ask "what does the data tell us about where we should focus next?" You will work across Research, Public Relations, Marketing, Product, and Program Management to coordinate and deliver actionable business results. This is a strong fit for someone who wants hands-on security research balanced with the analytical, process-improvement work that shapes how a research organization operates." That's role overview. Your Opportunity (Responsibilities) broken into two sub-sections: Security Response and Decision Science Operations. We can list bullet points. Security Response bullet points: - Monitor the threat landscape, track high-profile events in real time, and research the impact of emerging and existing vulnerabilities - Champion and drive the Security Response process end to end: brief internal stakeholders, coordinate product coverage across engineering teams, arm PR and community channels with current threat information, and maintain continuous cross-functional engagement throughout an event - Create and refine technical content including blogs, whitepapers, advisories, conference presentations, and webinars for identified security events - Respond to media inquiries and customer-driven events as they occur - Automate the discovery and triage of high-profile events from open-source channels, vendor advisories, and internal telemetry - Synthesize emergent threat and vulnerability intelligence into actionable items for the appropriate team backlogs Decision Science Operations bullet points: - Partner with Research leadership to design and execute data-driven frameworks for development and coverage prioritization - Collaborate with research and product teams to deliver richer contextual intelligence for identified vulnerabilities - Build and maintain operational dashboards and analytical workflows that surface trends across the threat and vulnerability landscape - Provide analytical support and timely insights to internal stakeholders to inform product and business decisions What You'll Need (Requirements): - Ability to work in a hybrid/on-site capacity at Tenable headquarters in Columbia, MD or Boston, MA - B.S. or higher in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Operations Research, or a related discipline or 5+ years of equivalent professional experience - 4+ years of programming and scripting experience (Python, SQL, or comparable) - Strong working knowledge of common security vulnerabilities, CVSS scoring, vulnerability detection, exploitation techniques, and classification methodologies - Experience with data analytics platforms and business intelligence tools (e.g., Tableau) and with Python data-science tooling (Jupyter, pandas, etc.) - Familiarity with internet-facing asset discovery and search platforms such as Shodan and Censys - Broad understanding of infrastructure fundamentals: networking, common protocols, services, and the general technology landscape - Demonstrated ability to write technical blogs, whitepapers, and research papers, and to present findings to both technical and non-technical audiences - Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize competing demands, and set expectations with stakeholders - Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable coordinating across highly distributed, cross-functional teams - Ability to operate independently with minimal supervision while contributing as a collaborative member of the broader research team - Comfort with agile methodologies and fast-paced, event-driven work And Ideally (preferred qualifications): - Experience with security response, incident coordination, or vulnerability disclosure processes - Background in exposure management, threat intelligence, or CTEM program support - Experience building automated data pipelines or integrating intelligence feeds - Public speaking experience at security conferences (e.g., BSides, RSA, Black Hat) Benefits: "Tenable also offers a variety of comprehensive and competitive benefits which include: medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance; 401(k) retirement savings with company match; an employee stock purchase plan; an employee referral program; flexible spending accounts; an Employee Assistance Program (EAP); education assistance; parental leave; paid time off (PTO); company-paid holidays; health and wellness events; and community programs." Pay: "US Pay Range $122,500—$163,166.67 USD" Also note variable compensation mention: "Employees are also eligible for variable compensation in addition to base pay (commission for sales roles, bonus for non-sales roles), depending on company and individual performance." That's substantive about compensation; could include in Pay section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. The posting includes "Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without sponsorship." That's a requirement; we can include under Requirements. Now decide sections: - About the role (company overview + role overview) - Responsibilities (Your Opportunity) - Requirements (What You'll Need + work authorization) - Preferred Qualifications (And Ideally) maybe as "Preferred Qualifications" but instructions only list certain headings; we can still use "Qualifications" or "Skills". They said use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "Qualifications" for required qualifications, and maybe "Skills" for preferred? Or combine. Better to have "Requirements" for required, and "Preferred Qualifications" maybe not in list but we could still use "Qualifications" for both required and preferred? Might be okay to have separate sections: "Requirements" and "Preferred Qualifications". But the instruction says use those headings as examples, not exclusive. It says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use any of those; we can also add others if needed but better to stick to those. We could put required under "Requirements", preferred under "Qualifications" or "Skills". Since they have both Qualifications and Skills as examples, we could use "Qualifications" for required and "Skills" for preferred. But the preferred are more about experience/background, not just skills. Could use "Qualifications" for required and "Preferred Qualifications" maybe not in list but still okay? Safer to use "Qualifications" for required and "Skills" for preferred. Thus:

  About the role

  with paragraphs: company description and role overview.

  Responsibilities

  with
  of bullet points (maybe combine both Security Response and Decision Science Operations into one list, or separate subheadings? Could keep as one list.

  Requirements

  with

  Skills

  with

  Benefits

  with

  listing benefits.

  including base pay range and variable compensation note. We must not include Schedule. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: include work authorization requirement, mention hybrid/on-site capacity at Tenable headquarters in Columbia, MD or Boston, MA. Include the note about variable compensation. Now produce HTML. Check for any duplicated lines: we must not repeat. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine company description and role overview. Company description: "Who is Tenable? Tenable® is the Exposure Management company.
