  • 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:

  • Backend Engineering Expertise:
    • Strong experience in designing, developing, and maintaining distributed backend systems.
    • Proficiency in Golang.

  • 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:

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. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
