What you will be doing:
You will work in the Transaction Monitoring Squad within the Risk Apps Tribe. The team is responsible for delivering an end-to-end fraud detection solution as part of the platform used by our clients.
As a Software Engineer, you will:
- Write great code. We understand code is read more than it’s written, and better off tested. Maintainability is a must.
- Shape what we build. Our platform is constantly evolving to attain greater scale efficiently. And our product is constantly evolving to provide the most relevant fincrime insights.
- Own delivery. We’re obsessed with shipping value; you’ll own work beyond just a pull request.
- Grow together. You’ll review other’s work and happily seek feedback on yours to ensure we build a better codebase and sharpen each other's skills. We believe in developing our people so you will play an important part in mentoring juniors in the team.
- Champion engineering values. You’ll care about bugs, scalability and uptime.
- Embody a collaborative Spirit. You’ll be working closely with Product Owners, Engineers and Data Scientists to design and implement your solutions. We work as a team and your input will be key in many architectural decisions (some that you would own) and in driving consensus.

- Our technology stack is designed to run on public cloud architectures, notably AWS and GCP.
- Development is organised around Java, Kotlin and Python for our backend languages and TypeScript/ES6+React for our frontend stack.
- We make substantial use of relational database technologies, notably Postgres and also use noSQL technologies such as Cassandra.
- We also use an event-sourced model powered by Kafka for our communication bus and gRPC for our intra-service communication protocol.

We have a strong emphasis on engineering excellence and strive to ship the best possible code and the best possible solutions to our customers.
