Join the Future of Fraud Detection
We develop advanced systems that provide superior fraud detection capabilities. Join a team committed to advancing the state of the art in fraud prevention technology.
Build the Core: Develop and maintain mission-critical business logic using Rust and the Tokio runtime, deployed primarily via high-performance Lambda functions.
Architect Infrastructure: Take full ownership of your stack using Terraform . You’ll provision and manage everything from DynamoDB schemas to API Gateways and event-driven pipelines.
Optimize & Profile: This isn't just "functional" code. You will profile memory usage and execution timing to shave off milliseconds and minimize compute overhead.
Define the Interface: Design and implement robust REST APIs that serve as the bridge between our complex backend logic and the frontend.
Cultivate Excellence: Set the bar for Rust within the team. You’ll establish coding standards, mentor others, and conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure our "brain" remains healthy and scalable.
Rust Mastery: You have deep experience with ownership, lifetimes, and asynchronous programming in Rust. You know your way around the ecosystem (Serde, Axum/Tower, etc.).
Serverless Native: You understand the nuances of event-driven architecture. You know how to work within (and around) the constraints of serverless environments.
Automation First: You have a "script-first" mentality. Experience with IaC (Terraform) is highly recommended.
Data & Observability: You’ve managed NoSQL databases (DynamoDB) and have a disciplined approach to observability using tools like CloudWatch and CloudTrail.
Testing Discipline: You view unit and integration tests as a core part of the feature, not an afterthought.
Languages: Rust (Async/Tokio)
Infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, DynamoDB)
Deployment: Terraform / IaC
Operations: CloudWatch, CloudTrail, GitHub Actions
