Software Engineer (AML Team)

Description

SEON is the command center for fraud prevention and AML compliance, helping thousands of companies worldwide stop fraud, reduce risk and protect revenue. Powered by 900+ real-time, first-party data signals, SEON enriches customer profiles, flags suspicious behavior and streamlines compliance workflows - all from one place. SEON provides richer data, more flexible and transparent analysis, and faster time to value than any other provider on the market. We’ve helped companies reduce fraud by 95% and achieve 32x ROI, and we’re growing fast, thanks to our partnerships with some of the world’s most ambitious digital brands like Revolut, Wise, and Bilt.

As a Software Engineer on the AML team, you’ll build and maintain the TypeScript applications and services behind SEON’s AML products. You’ll work closely with product managers to understand what customers actually need, turn requirements and customer requests (including those raised through NRQs) into well-scoped features, and ship them with quality, performance and security in mind. We want someone who asks “why”, flags gaps early and challenges solutions when something doesn’t add up. You are a continuous learner biased towards action. You take ownership of your work from scoping through delivery, and you help teammates grow.

This position is in Hungary, with the flexibility to work remote or hybrid.
