FUNCTION: Engineering

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) to join our Fraud engineering team. This is a chance to help build a fraud prevention capability from an early stage, at a company moving money across fiat, crypto and card rails at global scale.

You'll design and build the backend systems that detect and prevent fraud across the whole customer journey: onboarding, login and account activity, payments and card transactions. That means bringing device, behavioural and transaction signals together, powering real-time risk decisions, and giving our Fraud Operations team the data and tools they need to act quickly. Over time, this capability will also protect the businesses that build on BVNK.

You'll work closely with Fraud Operations, Financial Crime, Data, Product and other engineering teams. We work in small, autonomous squads that own their problem space. We value strong opinions, simple solutions and moving fast in a sustainable way.

Key Areas of Responsibilities

  • Fraud platform development: Design, build and maintain secure, scalable backend services and APIs that power fraud detection, risk decisioning and controls.
  • Real-time decisioning: Build low-latency services that assess risk and approve, decline or challenge activity in real time, including card authorisations and payments.
  • Signal and data enrichment: Ingest and enrich device, session, behavioural and transaction data, and integrate it with third-party fraud and risk providers to build a full risk profile.
  • Controls and friction: Build risk-based controls such as limits, velocity checks, blocks and step-up challenges (e.g. MFA or liveness) that stop fraud while keeping legitimate customers moving.
  • Monitoring and alerting: Deliver the data pipelines, metrics and alerting that let the business measure fraud, tune rules and respond quickly to new attack patterns.
  • ML and AI enablement: Work with data and ML colleagues to put machine learning models and AI-assisted workflows into production.
  • Cross-domain collaboration: Work with Fraud Operations, Financial Crime, Cards, Payments and Data teams to deliver features end to end.
  • Technical leadership: Contribute to architecture decisions, review code, mentor other engineers and help shape the engineering culture of a growing team.
