About the role

Backend engineer designing and owning fraud decisioning systems for a top FinTech. Join EQ Bank in redefining banking solutions while ensuring customer protection.

Responsibilities

Design and own backend fraud services end‑to‑end: Own service architecture, APIs, data flows, and production support for fraud decisioning systems across the customer lifecycle.
Define clear service boundaries and contracts: Improve system clarity through well‑defined, testable API and event contracts between channels and downstream fraud platforms.
Build scalable, event‑driven fraud capabilities: Design and evolve real‑time and asynchronous pipelines that enforce fraud and risk decisions reliably at scale.
Improve observability and explainability of fraud behavior: Make fraud outcomes traceable, debuggable, and understandable through runtime signals, logging, and metrics.
Enable safer, more predictable rollout of new protections: Reduce coupling between fraud logic and release cycles to allow faster, lower‑risk deployment of new controls.
Reason about failure modes and edge cases: Ensure systems behave predictably under partial failure, latency, or unexpected inputs.
Increase confidence in production behavior: Implement and evolve API‑level testing and observability to validate real‑world system behavior.
