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.
