Job description

Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source.

We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (20K stars on GitHub).

We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle).

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our innovative team. In this role, you will focus on developing, maintaining, and scaling backend services that power our fraud detection solutions. Your primary responsibility will be building highly performant backend systems and infrastructure that handle large-scale real-time data processing.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to architect end-to-end solutions that are reliable, scalable, and efficient. You will own features from concept to deployment and ensure seamless integration with other components in our platform.

Types of Projects and Impact:

Design, develop, and optimize backend systems for real-time data processing and web services.
Build scalable APIs and backend infrastructure that support millions of requests per day.
Work with cross-functional teams to integrate backend components with other services, ensuring performance and scalability.
Collaborate with the product and engineering teams to improve fraud detection signals such as browser bot detection, VPN detection, and VM detection.
Conduct performance tuning, debugging, and testing of backend systems to ensure reliability and efficiency.
Drive best practices for backend development and architecture, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Required Skills:

5+ years of experience in backend development with a focus on building scalable, high-performance systems.
Backend Engineering Expertise:
- Strong experience in designing, developing, and maintaining distributed backend systems.
- Proficiency in Golang.
- Experience with building and optimizing APIs, real-time data processing systems, and microservices architectures.
- Strong knowledge of databases, preferably DynamoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch.
- Experience working with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS.
Proficiency with general software engineering tools: Git, CI/CD pipelines, shell scripting, IDEs.
Proficient in English for clear communication in a global, remote team.

Nice to Have:

Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
Practical experience with analytical storage systems like ClickHouse, Snowflake, or Redshift.
Familiarity with data transformation frameworks such as dbt.
Understanding of modern containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

Technologies You Will Work With:

Backend development: Golang, DynamoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch.
Data processing/analytics: ClickHouse, dbt.
Infrastructure: AWS.

Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.

Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace.
