• Building and enhancing internal risk management tools, review dashboards, and case workflows for operational teams
• Investigating active fraud vectors, security vulnerabilities, and transactional exploits to deliver permanent engineering solutions
• Monitoring rule performance, risk scoring accuracy, false-positive rates, and transaction reliability
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Product Managers, Data Scientists, IT Security Specialist, and Risk Ops to address emerging threats
• Writing clean, maintainable code following team standards, conducting code reviews, and maintaining high system quality
• Utilizing logs, metrics, and operational signals to debug issues and optimize end-to-end system health

Requirements

• Minimum 3-5 years of software engineering experience, with dedicated experience as a Fraud Engineer or Risk Software Engineer in a technology company (e.g., Fintech, E-commerce, Gaming, or digital payments).
• Proven track record in building and scaling anti-fraud mechanisms, real-time risk scoring engines, user behavioral tracking, or fraud detection tools.
• Strong backend or fullstack engineering fundamentals, including experience in API design, databases (SQL/NoSQL), system architecture, and clean coding practices.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities to analyze risk patterns, trace exploitation vectors, and construct scalable technical controls.
• Proven ability to deliver with moderate autonomy, taking feature ownership from development through deployment and monitoring.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with engineers, data teams, and non-technical risk operations.
• Exposure to streaming/event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka) or integrating third-party fraud and identity management vendors is a plus.
