Lead a hands-on Fraud Engineering team building and scaling a customer-facing fraud product that helps our clients detect, prevent, and respond to fraud in their own workflows.
Own net-new development across the fraud product, including detection logic, decisioning workflows, rules and signals, APIs, and tools that enable configuration, monitoring, and iteration.
Partner closely with Product, Design, and Client Engagement teams to turn customer pain points and real-world fraud scenarios into usable, scalable product capabilities.
Set the technical direction for the fraud product, making architectural decisions that balance configurability, performance, accuracy, explainability, and long-term scalability.
Stay close to the code, especially early on, reviewing PRs, unblocking complex problems, and contributing directly when speed or clarity matters.
Scale the team and product together, helping define engineering standards, development processes, and hiring needs as the fraud product continues to grow.
Anticipate how customer needs and fraud patterns evolve, ensuring the product remains flexible, extensible, and competitive over time.
Foster strong product ownership, where engineers understand how clients use the fraud product, the tradeoffs involved, and the business impact of what they ship.

Requirements

8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years leading teams, ideally in systems where correctness, reliability, and speed matter.

A bias toward action and building—you’re comfortable being hands-on, especially while the team and systems are still forming.
Strong systems thinking, with the ability to design solutions that evolve as fraud tactics change.
Clear, pragmatic communicator who can align engineers, product partners, and non-technical stakeholders around priorities and tradeoffs.
Demonstrated ability to grow engineers, from early-career to senior, through mentorship, feedback, and real ownership.
Ability to translate fraud signals and business risk into technical roadmaps, execution plans, and measurable outcomes.
Experience with or interest in fraud, risk, abuse prevention, or adversarial systems.
Familiarity with our stack: Node.js (TypeScript), React (TypeScript), GraphQL, Python, Docker, PostgreSQL, AWS
