The posting

ENGINEERING MANAGER

FRAUD PREVENTION | DEBIT FRAUD INTEGRATION

Vanguard | Fraud Prevention Technology

ROLE

Hands-on technical leader responsible for the engineering team that builds and operates Vanguard's fraud decisioning integration with our debit card processor. You will lead 3-6 engineers, own the technical delivery roadmap for the processor integration layer, and write code alongside your team. This role reports into the Fraud Prevention Technology program and partners closely with the Principal Engineer / Architect on technical direction.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead a team of 3-6 engineers building real-time fraud decisioning services that sit in the debit authorization path
  • Own the integration layer between Vanguard's fraud platform and the debit processor (webhook handling, auth-time enrichment, response orchestration)
  • Translate architectural direction into executable sprints, technical designs, and working software
  • Write production code—expect to spend 40-60% of your time hands-on in the codebase
  • Drive engineering quality: code reviews, testing strategy, incident response, and on-call practices
  • Manage team health: hiring, career development, 1:1s, performance management
  • Partner with the processor's technical team on API contracts, certification, and production readiness
  • Ensure the team meets the latency, reliability, and compliance requirements inherent to payment authorization

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 8+ years in software engineering with 2+ years in a tech lead or engineering management role
  • Strong proficiency in Node.js; working familiarity with Java
  • Experience building low-latency, high-availability services—ideally in a payments, banking, or financial services context
  • Demonstrated ability to balance technical leadership with people management
  • Experience integrating with third-party processors or financial service providers (REST/gRPC APIs, webhook-driven auth flows)
  • Familiarity with ETL pipelines and feature engineering workflows for ML/analytics
  • Comfort with AI-assisted development practices and tooling

PREFERRED

  • Direct experience with debit/credit card processor integrations (Marqeta, Galileo, TSYS, Fiserv, or similar)
  • Familiarity with payment processing concepts (ISO 8583, authorization flows, network settlement)
  • Background in fraud prevention or risk systems
  • Experience operating services under strict SLA requirements (sub-100ms p99 latency, 99.99% uptime)
  • Familiarity with streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis) and feature stores
  • Experience with analytics infrastructure (Redshift, Athena, or similar columnar/query engines)

This is a manager-level role with direct reports.

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.
