## Job description

SEON is the command center for fraud prevention and AML compliance, helping thousands of companies worldwide stop fraud, reduce risk and protect revenue. Powered by 900+ real-time, first-party data signals, SEON enriches customer profiles, flags suspicious behavior and streamlines compliance workflows - all from one place. SEON provides richer data, more flexible and transparent analysis, and faster time to value than any other provider on the market.

As a Software Engineer embedded in our IDV ML team you bring strong, hands-on software engineering to a team of machine learning engineers. You act as the bridge between ML research and production-grade software. SEON relies on a product-led growth approach.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO:

- Contribute to the ID Verification ML team, building in-house ML solutions

- Design, build, and maintain ETL/data pipelines that turn raw data into clean, labeled, versioned training datasets
- Build and operate data-intensive backend services across training and eval workflows
- Support ML model packaging, delivery, and serving into production
- Partner closely with machine learning engineers to translate research prototypes into high-quality, well-tested, production-ready code
- Provide expertise, review pull requests and help raise engineering practice across a fast-moving, research-heavy team
- Design technical implementations, break down features into development stories, and provide estimates
- Mentor colleagues, foster a culture of continuous learning, and recommend new approaches to improve team engineering practices
- Participate in hiring interviews, providing technical assessment and team-fit review
- Handle sensitive data with rigor: data residency and compliance are first-class engineering concerns

## WHAT YOU’ll BRING:

- 5+ years of software engineering experience (NodeJS, TypeScript, React, Python, REST, RDBMS, NOSQL) backend systems or similar stacks
- Comfort operating in a research-adjacent, evidence-driven environment
- Passion for building the scalable data pipelines that empower our ML engineering efforts.

- Experience with cloud data/ML infrastructure, AWS preferred
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and Kubernetes
- Understanding of data modeling across both relational and unstructured data
- Strong experience in automated testing
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- English language proficiency
