About the CompanyWe're a fast-growing fraud intelligence platform helping retailers and carriers detect, prevent, and stop fraud across every order, claim, and return in real time.
As fraud tactics evolve constantly, our platform needs to move just as fast, giving retail businesses the tools to spot and act on suspicious activity before it costs them money.
We're a lean, product-focused team building tools that sit right at the intersection of e-commerce, logistics, and data.
We're looking for someone who can jump in and contribute across the stack from day one.
The RoleWe're hiring a midweight developer to join our engineering team as a generalist.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to specialise in one narrow slice of the stack, you'll be working across front end, back end, data pipelines, and integrations, depending on what the product needs that week.
We're particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in retail, e-commerce, logistics, payments, or adjacent industries.
You'll already understand the operational realities (orders, returns, claims, fulfilment, chargebacks) that our platform is built to protect against, and you'll be able to get up to speed on our domain faster.

JavaScript/TypeScript, a common backend language, SQL/NoSQL databases, cloud infrastructure)Comfortable working in a small team with high autonomy and shifting prioritiesA pragmatic, product-minded approach.
You care about shipping things that work and solve real problems, not just elegant code for its own sakeGood communication skills; able to explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
Nice to HaveExperience with fraud detection, risk scoring, or anomaly detection systemsExposure to real-time data processing or event-driven architecturesExperience working with carrier, payment gateway, or e-commerce platform integrationsStartup or scale-up experience
