About the Role:

We are building a scalable AWS-based backend application that integrates with CrowdStrike and Palo Alto APIs to process and enforce Host/IP block requests. The application will log and audit each action, store metadata in DynamoDB, and run as a containerized service on ECS Fargate. Built using Python (Flask/FastAPI), the system is designed to scale across 44+ enforcement endpoints.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop RESTful APIs using Python (Flask or FastAPI).
• Implement integrations with CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and other security platforms.
• Build scalable serverless and containerized solutions using AWS services (ECS Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudWatch).
• Develop data logging, auditing, and monitoring pipelines.
• Optimize application performance and scalability for future growth.
• Ensure secure development practices, including IAM policies and secrets management.
• Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to deliver features end-to-end.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3-8 years of backend development experience with Python.
• Strong experience with Flask or FastAPI frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS Fargate, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudWatch).
• Experience with REST API design and third-party API integrations.
• Familiarity with Docker and container orchestration.
• Understanding of logging, auditing, and monitoring tools in distributed systems.
• Knowledge of security best practices (authentication, authorization, secrets management).

Good to have

• Experience with cybersecurity tools (CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, etc.).
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar).
• Background in building scalable, high-availability applications.
