Job Details
Role : Senior Python Developer Cybersecurity Process Automation
Location : Charlotte, NC / Dallas, TX (Hybrid)
Rate: $60/hr
Role Overview
We re looking for a hands-on Senior Developer to design, build, and scale process automation solutions across cybersecurity workflows covering identity lifecycle, access governance, compliance, incident response orchestration, and integrations with enterprise security platforms. This is not a QA/test automation role. You will engineer robust APIs/microservices, automation jobs, and workflow orchestrations using Python, working closely with IAM/SecOps teams to reduce cycle time, improve control effectiveness, and enhance security operations.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Design
- Translate business/security processes into automated workflows, APIs, and services; produce lowlevel designs and sequence diagrams.
- Design secure microservices and job runners in Python (FastAPI/Flask) and Java (Spring Boot) using clean architecture and integration patterns.
- Define reusable automation components, SDKs, and templates to accelerate delivery.
Development & Delivery
- Build event-driven and scheduled automations for IAM onboarding/offboarding, access reviews, PAM workflows, compliance checks, vulnerability/patch management triggers, and SOAR playbooks.
- Integrate with enterprise tools: IAM (Okta/SailPoint), PAM (CyberArk), SIEM/SOAR (Splunk, Sentinel, Cortex XSOAR), ticketing (ServiceNow/Jira), data platforms, and notification channels.
- Own endtoend SDLC: coding, unit/integration testing, peer reviews, documentation, and deployment pipelines.
Security, Reliability & Observability
- Implement secure coding practices: OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, JWT, TLS/mTLS, secrets management (Vault/KMS), encryption, input validation, and least privilege.
- Add observability (OpenTelemetry, ELK/EFK, PrometheGrafana) with structured logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting; ensure measurable SLAs and error budgets.
- Harden services (rate limiting, circuit breakers, policy enforcement, audit trails) and support audit/compliance evidence.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
- Partner with IAM, SecOps, and platform teams to refine requirements, map asis/tobe processes, and quantify ROI (FTE hours saved, cycle time reduction).
- Provide technical guidance, code reviews, and mentor junior engineers; contribute to standards and best practices.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 6-10 years of software development experience with strong, recent hands-on work in Python and Java for backend/services and automation.
- Python: FastAPI/Flask, async IO, data processing (pandas), scripting, packaging, task runners (Celery/RQ), API integrations.
- Java: Spring Boot, Spring Security, REST/gRPC, concurrency, JVM performance tuning.
- Proven experience automating cybersecurity processes (IAM lifecycle, PAM operations, compliance checks, incident enrichment/response, vulnerability workflows).
- Integration experience with message queues/event buses (Kafka/RabbitMQ), REST/gRPC, webhooks, and ETL/ELT patterns.
- Cloud & DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps), IaC (Terraform), artifact management.
- Solid grasp of security protocols and standards: OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, TLS, certificate management; familiarity with NIST/ISO and audit needs.
- Strong problem solving, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
Note: This role is not related to QA/test automation. Focus is on business/process automation in cybersecurity.
