  • Design decision engines for transaction approval, review, or rejection.
  • Continuously optimize fraud detection accuracy while minimizing false positives.
  • Improve fraud models using behavioral and transactional data. Data & Analytics

  • Analyze transaction patterns, user behavior, device intelligence, and risk signals.
  • Work with large-scale event streams and transactional datasets.
  • Create internal investigation and monitoring tools for Fraud, Support, and Compliance teams.
  • Investigate emerging fraud patterns and rapidly deploy countermeasures. Engineering

  • Develop scalable backend services supporting fraud prevention.
  • Build APIs and internal tooling for risk evaluation.
  • Optimize latency for real-time fraud decisions.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Payments, Data, and Platform teams.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience building fraud prevention, risk, payment, banking, fintech, or security systems.
  • Strong backend development experience (Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, or similar).
  • Experience working with distributed systems and event-driven architectures.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with large datasets.
  • Understanding of payment flows, authentication, and transactional systems.
  • Experience designing real-time decision engines.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Fluent English. Nice to have

  • Experience in crypto, Web3, or blockchain.
  • Experience with Kafka, ClickHouse, Redis, Elasticsearch, or similar technologies.
  • Experience with machine learning models for fraud detection.
  • Knowledge of AML, KYC, or payment risk systems.
  • Experience with device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, or identity verification.

Benefits & conditions

  • Professional growth: support for courses, conferences, and English learning (up to 100% coverage).
  • Work-life fit: remote or hybrid format with flexible hours across international teams.
  • Paid leave: up to 20 vacation days + 8 company holidays + 5 personal days per year
  • Recognition programs: structured performance reviews and team awards.
  • Team culture: retreats in international locations (for example, company apartments in Cyprus). Inscribirse en esta oferta
