Software Engineer

Make the world a safer place with us. Do you want to be part of revolutionizing how the world fights online fraud? At Skjoldet, we're building an advanced fraud detection system, and we need a developer who doesn't just write great code but wants to help disrupt an entire industry and way of tackling fraud prevention. ABOUT SKJOLDET We are a Danish fintech startup turning the approach to digital fraud on its head. Imagine being able to convert a phishing site into a signal that could stop everyone from losing money to that exact scam. That's what we're working on. And why? We witnessed first-hand how digital fraud hits ordinary people, especially those close to us, costing them both time and money. We decided to do something about it. Instead of reacting to fraud after the fact, we stop it proactively, outside the bank's systems, before the payment goes through. We are a small, ambitious team of two founders, developers and analysts, entering a new chapter of investment and scaling.
