About this role
At Feedzai, we're building a world of safer money. A world where financial institutions move faster than criminals. Where the payments that fund real lives through salaries, savings, and businesses are protected in real time. We use trusted AI to detect and prevent financial crime, fraud, and money laundering at scale: the world's top banks, payment networks, and acquirers trust our technology to safeguard more than one billion consumers and $9 trillion in payment volume every year.
Feedzai is a Series D company and has raised $282M to date. With a valuation of $2 billion, our technology protects 1 billion consumers and 90 billion transactions each year.
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.
The Data Platform team is responsible for building and operating the core data infrastructure that powers Feedzai's AI-driven products. We own the full lifecycle of the platform, including our query engines, data ingestion, schema management, and pipeline orchestration. We operate under a 'you-build-it-you-run-it' model, managing highly available, multi-tenant cloud services on Kubernetes. Formed by engineers and managed by engineers, we partner with Product Engineering, Data Science, and Research teams to ensure Feedzai's data ecosystem is scalable, reliable, and secure, while providing the tooling needed for our internal customers to innovate and deliver at scale.
You
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer with a knack for building large-scale, cloud-native data processing systems to help us design, implement, and operate Feedzai's Data Platform.
