Description

• FastSpring - a rapidly growing Digital Goods and Gaming reseller ('Merchant of Record') is looking for a Software Engineer III, Payments & Risk. Your role will involve extracting meaningful signals from a diverse set of data; design, build and iteratively improve our 'risk engine' and continuously experiment to make our KRIs (Key Risk Indicators) better for our customers in every geography with every Payment Method. As we rapidly scale, you will also own the evolution of our risk engine from a set of static rules to a supervised model that minimizes fraud to an industry leading AI/ML driven true 'engine' that will remain our competitive advantage in gaming and digital goods markets all over the world.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience as a Lead Engineer, or key technical contributor in a fast-growing Fintech, preferably with international payments. • Deep expertise in back-end programming. We write code in Java - but if you are good in another language, we would welcome you. • Passionate about Resilience and Observability. You can succeed wildly if you embrace 'know before your customer knows' in our domain and be transparent, timely and truthful about your learning both internally and with customers. • Understanding Payments and Risk as a complete domain - if you can clearly articulate how card processing works, or the pros- and cons- of 3DS in, say, Latin America, or the emerging ubiquity of 'Real-time Payments' - often backed by central banks - in certain countries - you will grow as fast as the company does, if not faster! • Independent Deductive Ability from data - you know the philosophy, principle and practices of data and apply it daily at work. E.g., Type I vs Type II errors, Correlation Coefficient, when to use heat map vs. stacked bar chart etc. • Ability to treat most external technology as 'black box services with iron clad contract' but fully expect them to degrade or even be unavailable for extended periods of time. In the end, our customers don't care about the depth of the tech stack but only if it works for them all the time. We aim for 99.99%+ uptime for our Payment Services - every month.

Benefits

• 401(k), including company match • Comprehensive benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision & supplementary coverages • Flexible PTO and 13 Company Holidays • Bi-weekly 'FastSpring Friday' half-days • Work-from-home essentials reimbursement • Professional development opportunities & education reimbursement • Peer recognition programs & awards • Paid parental leave • Volunteer opportunities & donation matching • Quarterly employee events
