Develops internal API platform components for cybersecurity product NodeZero, supporting service connectivity and integrations.
Обязанности
- The Software Engineer on the API Platform team helps build the internal API layer that connects NodeZero's services and powers the interfaces that customers and integrations rely on. API Platform owns the gateway, the API contracts, and the shared platform capabilities that other teams consume — your work directly determines the reliability, latency, and developer experience of NodeZero's service mesh.
- You'll join a small team anchored by a P5 technical lead and a P4 senior engineer, shipping against a roadmap that includes API consolidation, versioning, rate limiting, and observability. This role reports to the API Platform Engineering Manager.
- Implement and maintain API endpoints, middleware, and platform services in Go
- Build and evolve the API gateway layer — routing, authentication, rate limiting, and request/response shaping
- Write and maintain API contracts (OpenAPI/gRPC definitions) and communicate breaking changes to internal consumers
- Contribute to service reliability: monitoring, alerting, SLA tracking, and incident response for platform APIs
- Write clear, reviewable code with tests that cover both the happy path and failure modes
- Collaborate with Data Ingestion, Integrations Platform, and Client Platform teams who consume the APIs you build
Будет плюсом
- Experience with API gateway technologies (Kong, Envoy, NGINX, or cloud-native equivalents)
- Exposure to service mesh architectures (Istio, Linkerd)
- Background in cybersecurity or experience building APIs consumed by security tools
- Experience with gRPC and protobuf-defined service contracts
