Job Title: Software Engineer II – (Rule Engine)
Location: New York, 10003 – Hybrid, 3 days Onsite
Contract: 12+ Months, extendable
Rate Range: $65 - $70/hr on W2 DOE
Duties:
- Author, maintain, and optimize fraud rules and policies across our real-time fraud decisioning engines to protect customers from account takeover (ATO) and other fraud — this is the core of the role.
- Contribute significantly to the backend services in the fraud-prevention stack: design and implement features, API changes, and integrations; make production code changes; and help improve their reliability, performance, and quality — not just their rules.
- Use AI coding tools as a core part of your workflow (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to accelerate both rule authoring and service development — generating, refactoring, and validating rule sets, tests, and service code, always with human review and testing.
- Translate policy and analytics requirements into precise, testable rule logic — tuning thresholds, fraud signals, and link-analysis weights to raise fraud-catch precision while reducing friction for legitimate customers.
- Collaborate closely with Policy, Analytics, Data Science, and Product partners to respond to emerging fraud attacks and continuously improve detection coverage.
Required:
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building and contributing to backend services (SWE2 level).
- Proficiency in a server-side language, especially Java (our primary stack); Python or Node.js also valuable.
- Solid experience with RESTful API design and building/maintaining API integrations.
- Experience with a server framework such as Spring MVC (preferred), Express, or Django.
- Hands-on experience contributing to a production service — production-quality code and tests, deployment, and on-call.
- Proficiency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) and the judgment to use them effectively while validating their output.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering, policy, and analytics partners.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with business rules engines (e.g., Drools) — authoring and debugging rule sets, ideally with AI assistance.
- Experience turning fraud/risk policy into rule logic, or working with risk decisioning, case-disposition, or trust & safety systems.
- Interest in fraud prevention, trust & safety, or risk systems.
