Responsibilities
- Define the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for fraud prevention systems across new and existing product lines

- Lead by example-write production code, conduct design reviews, and set engineering standards
- Partner with product, risk, compliance, and data science teams to translate fraud strategy into executable architecture
- Mentor engineers and elevate team capabilities without formal management authority
Qualifications
- 12 years in software engineering with 5 years focused on fraud prevention, payments, or banking technology
- Deep domain expertise in payment networks, transaction monitoring, authorization systems, or identity verification
- Demonstrated experience architecting distributed, low-latency systems in a regulated financial environment
- Strong fluency in applied AI/ML-model integration, LLM-augmented tooling, or intelligent automation in production
- Track record of defining and executing technical strategy at staff/principal/architect level
- Comfortable operating as a hands-on engineer while influencing at the senior management tier
- Experience with industry standards and regulations (PCI-DSS, BSA/AML, Reg E, network rules)
Preferred
- Prior experience at a large asset manager, bank, or fintech scaling into new payment products
- Familiarity with real-time streaming architectures (Kafka, Flink) and decisioning engines
- Background in adversarial modeling or fraud ring detection
