## About the company FireTail was founded in 2022 by a team of experienced cloud security professionals with the goal of bringing a complete end-to-end solution for API security to the market. The emerging field of AI security brought an additional dimension to FireTail's platform as the fast pace of AI adoption and underlying architecture patterns mirrored those of APIs. Today our innovative solutions protect businesses from evolving threats, and we're growing fast. Our team values collaboration, continuous learning, and clean, well-documented code. We're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Mid-Senior Python Developer to join our growing team.
