THE POSITION
Our Fraud Prevention service is part of the Core Tools Vertical that provides core internal tools and integrations for Fraud Management, Customer Support Operations, VIP Management, and Responsible Gaming Operations. Our remit is to address major security issues affecting our products and help us with identity verification and payment authorization. We employ AI/ML systems with knowledge from around 34,000 sites and applications around the world to provide us with highly accurate scores on Payment Protection and Account Defense with the goal of enabling us to reduce fraud by 80% or better. We primarily use Java (40%), along with a lot of Terraform on AWS (50% - K8s, EKS, Lambdas, RDS Aurora, SNS, SQS), and a bit (10%) of Front End/Full stack (10%).
We're looking for passionate technologists, strong communicators, and those with a commitment to continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will have the confidence to propose pragmatic solutions to complex problems and be eager to learn from and educate others. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work in empowered, multidisciplinary teams, autonomously tackling complex challenges that provide the very best experiences and products for a growing community of millions of players.
THE GAME PLAN
Your work is consistently of high quality. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. You work with your team to invent, design, and build software that is stable and performant. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. Your solutions are pragmatic. You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an Engineer unfamiliar with the system can understand. You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity). You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.).
You own parts of product and technology & strive to become a subject matter expert. You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices. You test your code thoroughly. You help balance customer requirements with the team requirements.
