Software Engineer

The Engineering (Tech) Team is responsible for all Feedzai product development. Together with Product Management and Data Science, we build the next generation of tools to catch fraud in real-time with a machine learning first approach. Formed by engineers and managed by engineers, at Feedzai, you will find one of the most talented teams out there, from junior to senior engineers.
We are fast-paced and provide a safe, open, and collaborative environment that encourages us to lean in, try new things and discover our potential with continuous learning for everyone.  

While building the best value for our customers, you will work with a wide range of technical challenges. Such as building distributed systems that need to operate 24/7 and ultra-low latencies, solving UI/UX problems to help fraud analysts to fight fraud more efficiently. In addition, designing extensive databases from relational, NoSQL and graphs, validate and develop new data science techniques and algorithms.

You:

You are a passionate professional with the talent to push engineering excellence, challenge the status quo, and make things happen. You will excel if you are curious, have a critical mindset, and can drive scalable technical solutions that mesh with our business goals.

On a daily basis, you’ll have the chance to work on subjects such as fully distributed, highly scalable event-driven services that operate with strict Ultra-Low Latency requirements. You will also be working with innovative solutions that apply Machine Learning to Fraud Detection and Digital Identity assurance.

Your Day to Day:

• Be hands-on, executing the full software development life cycle;
• Develop backend website applications, API’s and manage databases, on an event-driven architecture;
• Design and develop services to retrieve, process and transform requests in near real-time.

  • Experience using CI/CD methodologies, using tools Git (Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc.), developing and maintaining  pipelines, Makefiles, etc. (valued);
• Good technical English communication skills. 
• Experience in designing and operating large production systems. You will be responsible to provide support and improvements to our production clients, always with the goal of improving the quality and resilience of our product;

The Product Team builds our product to disrupt the financial crime industry from a data-led approach. We partner with our clients using a holistic lens and have result-driven solutions to manage financial risk with a cloud-first platform and a world-class UX interface. Being part of this team, you have a voice in planning, strategizing, and challenging the status quo. Your thoughts and ideas are valued. Our fast-paced and open environment encourages us to lean in, try new things, and  discover our potential. We define and act on what could be in tomorrow's world, not on what is today. Join Us!
