Who is FireTail

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. This led to the development of FireTail's hybrid approach to API security - inline API call inspection and blocking, coupled with cloud-based security posture management, detection and response, and centralized API audit.

FireTail is a remote first organization with employees currently based across Ireland, Finland, and in the US. As we continue to grow the team we are now seeking a Python Developer to be based in the Republic of Ireland or Finland, on a remote basis.
