Your New Role
As a key member of the engineering team, you will lead and contribute to the design and development of high‑performance, scalable services that power fraud detection systems. You’ll take ownership of technical components, work hands‑on across AWS, microservices, and real-time data streaming, and ensure robust integration with existing enterprise systems.
You’ll Be Involved In:

- Participating in weekly stand‑ups to showcase progress and align on deliverables.
- Taking ownership of backlog tasks and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
- Strong hands-on expertise with AWS, including cloud-native databases, relational stores, and caching technologies (e.g., DynamoDB, Redis, Postgres, Aerospike).
- Proficiency in Kafka for real-time data streaming.
- Experience with NodeJS on AWS.
- Working knowledge of Aerospike and its data model (preferred).
- Solid programming experience in Java for backend development.
- Proven experience in microservices-based distributed environments and service orchestration.
- Strong commitment to building scalable, resilient, and high-performance systems, with clean and maintainable code.
- Hands-on expertise in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
- Understanding of secure coding standards, data protection principles, and regulatory environments.
- Strong knowledge of unit testing, integration testing, and test automation frameworks (JUnit, Jest, PyTest, etc.).
- Familiarity with cloud-native development and Agile ways of working.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently with strong ownership.
