Job Description
- Technical Execution: Act as a hands-on manager coding and architecting high-priority features for the fraud detection platform (e.g., real-time monitoring, rule engines, ML model deployment pipelines).
- Metric-Driven Ownership: Take extreme ownership of the technical roadmap for the Risk Platform. Translate business goals (e.g., reducing fraud loss by X%, lowering false positive rates) into clear engineering objectives, and hold the team accountable for measurable business impact.
- Platform Scaling & Resilience: Oversee the design, implementation, and scaling of low-latency, high-throughput systems crucial for real-time risk assessment, ensuring high availability and resilience.
- Team & Talent Development: Manage team performance, provide mentorship, and lead technical career development. Foster a culture of rigorous code quality, transparent communication, and continuous learning, specifically in the domains of payments, security, and fraud engineering best practices.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with Risk Data Scientists, Technical Product Managers, and Operations teams to define and execute the technical strategy that balances effective mitigation with a seamless user experience.
- Process Optimization: Champion an agile development process with a bias toward action. Develop and implement strategies to optimize development cycles and incident response procedures specific to high-stakes fraud system failures.
- Domain Expertise: Experience building, deploying, or maintaining high-throughput Risk, Fraud, or Trust & Safety platforms in a fast-paced environment is a strong plus, but not required. Background in the Fintech or Payments industry is also highly preferred, but not required.
- Technical Fluency & Execution: Proven experience as a senior software engineer with a strong track record of delivering successful, high-stakes platform projects. You must be able to coach engineers on architecting resilient, data-intensive, and real-time systems.
- Management Experience: Minimum of 1 year of experience managing an engineering team, demonstrating the ability to inspire a team to operate with urgency and focus, and high quality.
- Ownership Mindset: A track record of operating with extreme ownership in ambiguous environments, making high-impact decisions with incomplete data, and taking accountability for the business outcomes of your engineering solutions.
- Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs and risks clearly and transparently to engineering peers, product managers, and executive stakeholders.
- Willingness to Learn and Adapt: While technology agnostic, a familiarity with our stack (Python, Flask, REST APIs, Cloud Services) is helpful, but the willingness to rapidly acquire deep domain and stack knowledge is paramount.
- These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
- Competitive salary
- Initial stock options grant
- Annual performance bonus
- Health, dental, and vision plans
- 401(k)
- Remote work environment, although we have offices in Miami and México City and would love to work in hybrid model if you are up to it.
- Continuous learning opportunities
- Unlimited PTO
- Paid parental leave
- Empowering opportunities for growth in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment
