About the Role
We are expanding our Wolf Security Controller team—a web-based management platform designed to deliver:
- Security policy enforcement and software updates for endpoint protection (installed on client PCs).
- Real-time ingestion of client status, events, and threat data, including:
- Malware traces (displayed in interactive visualisations).

The Controller operates across two deployment models:

- Cloud-based (deployed across multiple AWS instances).
Key Challenges & Opportunities
- Growth: Enhancing scale for both existing client base and cloud architecture.
- Feature Expansion: Adding support for new security products.
- Technical Variety: Work in front-end, back-end, full-stack, or hybrid specialisations.
- C#/C++ Pathway: Opportunity to extend work to the Windows endpoint management platform (natively).
Responsibilities
As a junior web developer, your contributions will include:
Full-Stack Development
- Back-end services:
- API design (Python 3, Django, SQL).
- Event processing/workflows (Celery-based task queues).
- Front-end & visualisation:
- Building and maintaining the Controller UI (React, TypeScript, Vue.js).
- Data-driven dashboards for high-value threat reports.
- Back-end orchestration:
- Deployment automation pipelines (AWS-focused).
- Self-hosted server stack (installation, upgrading, troubleshooting).
