About the role
- NetCyberOps is a managed security services company known for the quality of our work.
- Your focus will be the REST API that powers the product.
- That platform is how our customers and our security team stay connected.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain Python REST API endpoints. This is the core of the role. You'll own data models, query performance, authentication, error handling, and API contracts.
- Write database queries, manage migrations, and ensure data integrity.
- Build backend services for security event ingestion, processing, and delivery.
- Contribute to discussions on API design, data modeling, and service boundaries. You're expected to have opinions, not just implement what you're told.
- Database experience: queries, schema design, and migrations (PostgreSQL or similar).
- API design fundamentals: authentication patterns, pagination, error handling, input validation, and versioning.
Requirements
- What matters most is evidence you can write quality code, reason through tradeoffs, and take ownership.
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
