Develop backend services to support real-time fraud data ingestion, processing, and distribution

Design and implement graph-based data models to uncover relationships between fraud-related entities

Build and optimise scalable solutions on Azure, contributing to architecture and platform design decisions

Develop APIs enabling real-time and near real-time data exchange across systems

Contribute to lightweight UI components for visualising graph relationships and entity connections

Collaborate closely with engineering, architecture, and product teams to deliver high-performance solutions

What We’re Looking For

Core Experience

Strong Full Stack engineering experience with a clear strength in backend development

Hands-on expertise in Java (preferred) or Python

Experience building distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native applications

Strong experience working with Azure cloud services and modern architectures

Solid understanding of data modelling, database design, and data processing systems

Specialist Skills
