- Design and operate high-signal systems with strong observability: metrics, dashboards, alerting, and playbooks for incidents and fraud campaigns
- Partner with UIM/Identity stakeholders to strengthen authentication and identity foundations (roles, permissions, identity state, and related platform primitives)
- Drive end-to-end delivery: technical design, implementation, rollout strategy, and iteration based on outcome metrics
Skills
- 3+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent)
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, reliability)
- Experience building data-informed detection or decisioning systems (rules engines, scoring, anomaly detection, or similar), or strong interest in learning in this domain
- Proven ability to operate production systems: debugging, incident response, and improving on-call quality through instrumentation and automation
- Strong cross-functional communication skills and comfort working with product and operations partners
- Experience in fraud, risk, identity, authentication, authorization, abuse prevention, or security engineering
- Familiarity with payments rails, card transaction risk, or account security patterns
