Design, build, and operate highly available, low-latency, backend systems that enable real-time scoring and decisioning for fraud prevention.
Partner with Data Science and ML teams to productionize models, build reliable ML data pipelines, and enable real-time model serving.
Establish and elevate department level best practices, review designs, drive engineering quality, and act as a trusted advisor on architectural tradeoffs.
Mentor and grow engineers, documenting learnings and sharing technical direction through writing, 1:1s, and team meetings.
Navigate and influence multiple stakeholders, help align teams, communicate tradeoffs to technical and non-technical partners, and independently resolve cross team issues.

Requirements

Has 7-10+ years of software development experience, with a strong focus on the backend, with a knowledge of or excitement to learn Haskell.
