We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality. Our customers range from innovative startups to leading enterprise companies, including Plaid, Dropbox, and Booking.com. \nFingerprint is a globally dispersed, 100% remote company. We were named on on the 2026 Forbes Best Startup Employers list and ranked #803 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. \nWe have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (Tesla,Facebook, Airbnb), Nexus Venture Partners ( Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures ( Redis,Rollbar, Gradle).\nWe are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to help build and operate the end-to-end fraud detection systems behind our Identification APIs. Your primary responsibility will be building highly performant backend systems and keeping them reliable at scale. You'll write the services and you'll own how they behave in production.\nThis role requires strong experience in backend software development, particularly API development and scaling existing systems in Go, paired with a genuine interest in reliability engineering. You'll design and implement scalable, high-performance backend systems, maintain their SLOs, and take ownership of features from concept through deployment and steady-state operation.\nA key aspect of this role involves a deep understanding of scaling and operating distributed systems, allowing us to multiply our capacity safely and efficiently as our user base continues to grow rapidly.\nResponsibilities\nDesign, build, and optimize backend systems for real-time data processing and web services, treating reliability, latency, and cost as first-class constraints.\nOwn SLIs and SLOs for Core API services, using error budgets to balance shipping velocity against stability.\nBuild the observability that makes systems debuggable - metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerts that fire on user-visible symptoms, not noise.\nShare an on-call rotation, respond effectively to incidents, and lead blameless postmortems. Schedules are set in advance, with equitable coverage and minimal off-hours disruption.\nReduce operational toil through automation, and close out incident action items so the same failure doesn't recur.\nRun capacity planning, load testing, and performance tuning so the platform scales ahead of demand.\nPartner with cross-functional teams on integrations, and mentor other engineers as they grow.\nQualifications\n5+ years in backend development, including meaningful time operating what you built in production.\nStrong, demonstrated experience with Go, and with scalable APIs, real-time data processing, and microservices.\nHands-on experience running production services with Docker and Kubernetes, and with IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.\nWorking fluency with observability tooling (Datadog or comparable) - instrumenting services and building useful dashboards and alerts.\nOn-call experience: triaging live incidents, mitigating impact, and writing up what happened.\nStrong SQL, plus experience with databases like DynamoDB, Redis, or Elasticsearch.\nProficiency with Git, shell scripting, and CI/CD, and fluency in English for a global, remote team.\nAble to work independently in ambiguous environments with direct stakeholder contact, and eager to mentor junior engineers.\nBS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.\nBonus: analytical storage systems (ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks), queueing and streaming systems (SQS, Kafka), or performance profiling and cost optimization of high-throughput cloud workloads.\nBonus: vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant) in production, ML-adjacent product engineering, concurrent programming, or a strong grasp of internet security and privacy mechanisms.\n\nTools and Technologies:\nBackend development: Golang\nInfrastructure and delivery: AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.\nObservability: Datadog, metrics/logging/tracing.\nData analytics/processing: ClickHouse, dbt.\nCompensation & Transparency\nAt Fingerprint, we believe in pay transparency - it's part of how we operate as a distributed, remote-first team. Salaries are based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. \nBecause this role is open across the United States and can be based anywhere our team members work from, the salary range reflects that geographic breadth: $152k - $205k\n\nSome example salaries for specific locations are below:\nNYC: $178k - $205k\nChicago: $152k - $174k\nFinal offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including the successful candidate's location, experience, and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.\nDue to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.\nWe are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.\nIf you are applying as a resident of California, please read our CCPA notice here.\nIf you are applying as a resident of the EU, please read our GDPR notice here.\n**We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Fingerprint recruiting email communications will always come from the @fingerprint.com domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Fingerprint via other sources should be ignored.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6293,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Fraud Detection","Identity Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T22:12:00Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-01T02:21:15Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-14T20:03:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":205000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T20:39:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32926,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":577},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=577"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffingerprint-senior-software-engineer-identification"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":982888}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fingerprint.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":982888},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
