- Engineer Risk & Fraud Solutions: You will develop and optimize sophisticated services dedicated to managing credit risk and fraud detection, implementing logic that protects the company in real-time.
- Technical Thought Leadership: You will be a key contributor to the product development lifecycle by actively defining requirements. This involves collaborating closely with Product Managers, technical leads, and business stakeholders to translate high-level objectives into clear and actionable requirements. Your responsibilities will include conducting analysis, documenting detailed specifications, and ensuring that all defined requirements are traceable, verifiable, and align with the overall strategic goals and technical architecture.
- Develop Talent: Mentor the next generation of engineers, fostering a culture of precision, operational excellence thinking, and high-quality engineering in a high-paced environment. Drive the adoption of AI-powered tools and methodologies within the team to significantly accelerate development cycles and enhance output quality and efficiency.
Expect challenges, collaboration, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life. Our tech stack includes (but it’s not limited to) PostgreSQL, Java, and Spring Boot. We rely on AWS for our infrastructure, with microservices deployed on EC2/ECS, S3 for storage, AWS Lambda for serverless functions, and Kinesis and ElasticSearch for log streaming.
