Senior Software Engineer - AML - Java

Description

The AML Risk team sits inside the AML Squad at the company and builds systems and controls that detect money laundering and terrorist financing risk across its products and regions.

The team uses data and knowledge of criminal behaviour to build detection controls and alerts. Because criminal methods shift quickly, controls are updated as new risks emerge, with the aim of catching more real risk, cutting false alerts and reducing friction for legitimate customers.

The squad is hiring an experienced engineer to help shape how the company detects money laundering and terrorist financing. You will own large projects and their technical roadmaps, working alongside engineers, product managers, data scientists, analysts and AML subject matter experts.

The company is a global technology company that moves and manages money internationally, and is building a new network for the world's money.

• Raise reliability, security and technical quality.
• Mentor engineers and spread knowledge across the team.
• Work mainly with Java, Spring Boot and Kafka on distributed services, asynchronous processing and large data volumes, designing for scalability, observability, privacy, security, reliability and cost.

Requirements

• Understand your team's technical and business domain.
• Design systems with long-term change and scale in mind.
• Mentor and coach other engineers.
• Have 5+ years of experience building backend, distributed or data-intensive systems.
