About the role

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and extend a FastAPI backend with hundreds of registered API routes.
  • Build and refine React/TypeScript product workflows across a large frontend surface.
  • Design and maintain SQLAlchemy models, Alembic migrations, PostgreSQL queries, and data integrity rules.
  • Support scanner integrations, finding normalization, deduplication, evidence workflows, and compliance mapping.
  • Maintain AI-assisted features through a centralized provider abstraction rather than direct calls to providers.
  • Maintain quality gates including linting, type checking, OpenAPI drift checks, migration safety, SDK drift, architecture boundaries, and test suites.
  • Treat documentation as helpful but secondary to the codebase; validate assumptions against source, tests, migrations, and running behavior.
  • PostgreSQL experience, including schema design, migrations, indexes, JSON/JSONB, and relational integrity.

Requirements

  • Minimum of SIX (6) years' experience with Python backend development.
  • Strong FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, async Python, and pytest experience.
  • Experience maintaining large API surfaces and generated frontend API clients.
  • Experience with background jobs or async workers using Redis-backed queues.
  • Ability to diagnose source-of-truth issues when documentation, generated code, database schema, and runtime behavior disagree.
  • Ability to enforce scoped context, provenance, guardrails, and human-review boundaries.
  • Comfort maintaining provider abstractions across local and cloud AI providers.
  • The ideal candidate can work confidently across backend services, frontend workflows, database migrations, security controls, AI-assisted analysis, scanner ingestion, and production operations.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience with GRC, audit automation, security consulting tools, vulnerability management, FedRAMP/FISMA, or SSP/POA&M workflows.
  • Experience with generated OpenAPI SDKs.
  • Experience producing PDF, Excel, DOCX, PowerPoint, or audit package exports.
  • Experience with immutable audit logs, provenance chains, multi-tenant permissions, or evidence workflows.
  • Compensation decisions depend on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, security clearances, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
