Full 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 Senior Software Engineer on the AML team, you’ll own the design and delivery of 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 raise the bar for the engineers around you through your code, your reviews and your mentoring. While you use AI in your day to day work, you use solid judgement on when and how it should be used. This is the next step up from our Software Engineer role: where a Software Engineer scopes and delivers their own work well, you also shape the design and delivery of the team’s work and help others do the same.
This position is in Hungary, with the flexibility to work fully remote or hybrid.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Design and build well-architected TypeScript features end to end for our AML services (case management, business backends and person service), and our customer facing Admin Panel, treating performance, scalability, security and observability as part of the design
- Lead team-level design reviews and write design docs or ADRs for significant changes, accounting for how your services interact with the rest of the SEON platform
- Challenge requirements that don’t add up, and raise delivery risks early with a proposed mitigation
- Consistently deliver high-quality code with simplicity, security, testability, performance, and scalability in focus, setting the example others follow
- Maintain and develop client-side JavaScript libraries, the Node.js backend of AML Services and Nest.js / ExpressJS services
- Take part in the on-call rotation, debug complex cross-system issues and drive root cause analysis for significant incidents, with blameless follow-up
- Proactively improve monitoring, alerting and runbooks for the services you own
