DescriptionJob Overview and ResponsibilitiesThe Sr Engineer - Fraud Intelligence & Detection serves as the principal technical authority for Digital Fraud Detection Intelligence & Engineering, establishing the engineering strategy, standards and capabilities used to detect sophisticated fraud attacks across customer-facing channels. This role applies modern cybersecurity detection-engineering practices to fraud by correlating cyber telemetry with identity, authentication, device, behavioral, transaction, loyalty, booking, payment, telephony and digital-channel signals.
- Technical Strategy & Engineering Standards: Own the Digital Fraud Detection Engineering technical roadmap and establish engineering standards, reference patterns, detection lifecycle practices and detection-as-code methodologies.
- Detection & Signal Engineering: Design, build and optimize high-fidelity behavioral, anomaly, rules-based, risk-scoring and correlation detections across cyber, identity, customer and transaction telemetry.
- Data, Pipeline & Integration Engineering: Engineer reusable signals, APIs, enrichment, data pipelines and integrations supporting real-time and batch fraud detection, decisioning and response.
- Threat-Informed Detection & Hunting: Translate CTI/fraud intelligence, adversary behaviors and attack patterns into detection hypotheses, production detections and proactive fraud threat-hunting activities.
- Detection Quality & Performance Engineering: Establish testing, back-testing, validation and deployment practices; monitor precision, recall, false-positive/negative rates, coverage, drift and signal degradation.
- Advanced Analytics, AI & Automation: Partner with Data Science and Analytics on feature engineering, machine-learning and AI model operationalization, generative AI-assisted detection development, automation and advanced correlation methods.
- Technical Leadership & Partnership: Serve as the senior technical liaison to Cyber Threat Detection Engineering, CIAM, Data Engineering, Security Architecture and Fraud Operations; mentor technical resources and influence platform/data architecture.
QualificationsWhat's needed to succeed (Minimum Qualifications):- Bachelor's degree required, with preference for Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or related technical field.
- 3+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity detection engineering, security engineering, fraud engineering, data engineering, software engineering or a closely related discipline, including demonstrated senior technical leadership.
- Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL
- Experience with APIs, Git/source control, automated testing and modern engineering workflows
- Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted engineering and analytics tools responsibly to accelerate detection development, investigation and documentation while validating outputs and protecting sensitive data.
- Demonstrated experience designing detections, analytics or data solutions across large-scale security, identity, behavioral or transactional datasets.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without sponsorship
- Successful completion of interview required to meet job qualification
- Reliable, punctual attendance is an essential function of the position
What will help you propel from the pack (Preferred Qualifications):- Advanced technical degree in a relevant field.
- Certifications: GIAC, CISSP, cloud/data engineering, security engineering or comparable technical certifications.
- Experience with CIAM, device intelligence, behavioral biometrics, bot detection, graph analytics, anomaly detection, machine learning or generative AI. Additional experience with AI/ML model evaluation, explainability, monitoring and governance; SIEM/SOAR; cloud data platforms; event streaming/Kafka or equivalent; CI/CD; fraud decision engines; or real-time risk platforms.
- Knowledge of threat-informed defense/MITRE ATT&CK concepts and ability to apply adversary-centric methodologies to fraud.
