Want to know if you're a match for this job?
We are seeking a Backend Engineer with a solid understanding of distributed systems and a passion for building resilient applications. In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain the backend services that power our cloud security platform.
You’ll write clean, efficient Python code and interface with AWS Step Functions, Batch jobs, and Athena queries. This is a great opportunity for an entry-level engineer or recent graduate who understands distributed systems and networking and wants to apply software engineering to cloud security challenges.
What will you do?
- Design & Development: Build clean, scalable, and well-tested backend services using Python and SQL.
- Cloud Security Domain: Implement security rule engines, policy checks, and threat detection mechanisms within cloud APIs.
- System Maintenance: Monitor, debug, and optimize backend systems for high availability, microsecond latency, and stability.
- Collaboration: Work closely with security researchers, frontend developers, API developers, and infrastructure teams to turn technical requirements into production-ready backend code.
Requirements
- Software Development: Strong proficiency in Python (object-oriented programming, data structures, asynchronous coding, testing frameworks).
- Cloud Awareness: Basic familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and networking primitives (VPCs, Security Groups, Load Balancers).
- Education / Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience (0–3 years). Recent graduates with relevant project/internship experience are strongly encouraged to apply!
- Data Engineering Experience a plus, including
- Exposure to stream processing, batch processing, or data pipeline tools (e.g., Glue, PySpark, Pandas).
- Experience working with SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
- Containers & DevOps: Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or Infrastructure-as-Code (Cloudformation).

Tenchi Security
View Company ProfileTenchi Security (operating under tenchisecurity.com) is the premier, enterprise-grade Third-Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM) platform, software-defined supply chain security innovator, and cloud posture orchestration powerhouse engineered to serve as the definitive, high-velocity vendor risk reduction, automated compliance monitoring, and structural vulnerability assessment layer for multinational enterprises, massive banking groups, and critical digital ecosystems globally. The company completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern cloud supply chain risk—where corporate security units lose vital defensive momentum to manual, non-standardized third-party questionnaires, point-in-time annual compliance audits, and unvetted exposure silos outside their direct network boundaries—by deploying an advanced, multi-tenant risk reduction platform known as Zanshin. Moving far beyond traditional, passive external-only security scanners or rigid, antagonistic auditing models, Tenchi Security natively unifies automated inside-out cloud testing pipelines (linking with continuous IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS telemetry), outside-in attack surface mapping, over 1,000 continuous automated security checks, and real-time vendor remediation workflows into a single high-availability defense workspace. Protecting major financial networks, telecommunication conglomerates, and institutional systems across Latin America and global markets—including powerhouses like Bradesco, Cielo, XP Investimentos, BTG Pactual, B3, and Telefónica—the infrastructure monitors multi-tenant risk baselines with production-hardened engineering precision. Backed by an elite $7 million Series A financing matrix co-led by Bradesco, L4 Venture Builder, and Accenture, the organization maintains a highly distributed, 100% remote global engineering structure. Under the hood, its technology core utilizes sophisticated data pipelines (leveraging PySpark and Python), non-intrusive APIs, and secure multi-cloud access loops built to provide mutual, cooperative visibility for both first-party enterprises and third-party vendors without introducing new attack vectors or reducing operational business velocity. What sets Tenchi Security apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing passive, compliance-driven risk acceptance with absolute proactive remediation agility, enforceable supplier accountability, and real-time ecosystem clarity; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive low-level technical infrastructure configuration and the collaborative security demands of modern interconnected business, the enterprise remains the definitive cornerstone of modern algorithmic third-party defense and global infrastructure transformation.
