The posting

This role requires demonstrated experience owning or significantly shaping system-level architecture, including defining the technical vision, making architectural tradeoffs, and guiding engineering teams toward implementation. The successful candidate must be able to operate at both the architecture and implementation levels—setting technical direction while remaining hands-on in engineering and delivery.

This role will serve as a key technical leader responsible for helping design, build, and deliver a resilient case management ecosystem that integrates multiple existing applications into a common platform supporting fraud investigations globally.

The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on engineering experience with leadership, collaboration, and systems-thinking skills. They are energized by ambiguity, enjoy building new capabilities from the ground up, and can influence teams without formal authority.

Lead Architecture and Platform Delivery

  • Drive the technical design and implementation of a modern fraud case management platform that integrates multiple applications and services into a unified solution. Partner with architects, engineers, and product leaders to establish a scalable and resilient platform strategy. Make architectural and engineering decisions that balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability and operational excellence. Contribute directly to solution design, technical planning, and critical engineering decisions.

Champion AI-Enabled Engineering and Innovation

  • Drive adoption of AI-assisted software engineering practices to improve developer productivity, code quality, testing effectiveness, and delivery speed. Evaluate and incorporate emerging AI capabilities into engineering workflows, including code generation, automated testing, documentation, and development lifecycle optimization. Partner with architecture and platform teams to identify opportunities for AI-driven capabilities within the fraud case management ecosystem. Establish engineering practices that balance innovation, security, governance, and responsible AI adoption.

Influence Across Teams and Systems

  • Act as an informal technical leader contributing to the fraud modernization roadmap. Build strong partnerships with teams supporting existing case management and fraud-related applications. Influence roadmaps, integration strategies, and technical standards to ensure a seamless end-to-end solution.

Build a New Engineering Team

  • Help establish engineering practices, standards, and delivery processes for a newly formed team of full-stack engineers. Mentor and develop engineers through technical leadership, coaching, design reviews, and collaboration. Promote a culture of ownership, innovation, automation, and continuous improvement. Champion agile delivery practices that enable rapid iteration and continuous value delivery.

Drive Long-Term Platform Evolution

  • Help define a strategic roadmap that enables onboarding of additional fraud capabilities, workflows, and regions over time. Identify opportunities to leverage cloud-native technologies, automation, integration patterns, and modern engineering practices. Establish the foundation for a scalable global platform that can support future growth and evolving fraud prevention requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience leading architectural design and decision-making for complex distributed systems, including defining system structure, service boundaries, integration patterns, and technical direction—not solely implementing predefined architectures.

Qualifications

  • Approximately 10+ years of application engineering experience. Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience. Graduate degree preferred. Strong experience with distributed systems, integrations, APIs, and modern application architectures. Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction without direct authority. Mentoring engineers and helping establish engineering best practices. Leveraging AI-assisted development tools within modern software engineering environments.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
