Role Description
At many organizations, your role begins and ends with the code. On our team, we’re different. You own a feature from concept to fruition. Your responsibilities will include everything from writing well-architected and thoroughly tested code, to rolling out the feature by analyzing metrics. You also get to take ownership beyond your technical area by working with cross-functional team members.
As a backend developer, you will build highly scalable systems to detect and prevent fraud and continuously improve our engineering/operational excellence.
This role is only available outside the US and not available to any individual based within the US or any US territory.
- Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams (risk analysts, data science, and operations) to design and implement new features
- Analyze the latest attacker techniques and apply solutions to detect them holistically and stop them proactively
- Drive engineering and operational excellence across the Trust & Safety engineering team
- Collaborate with OfferUp-wide engineering teams to improve processes, surface common pain points, develop solutions, and evangelize best practices
- Develop highly scalable classifiers and tools leveraging machine learning, data regression, and rules-based models
- Identify when to replace and when to rebuild legacy systems
- Participate in reasonable on-call rotations with the rest of the team
- Support, mentor, and help other engineers on the team
Qualifications
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, of which at least 1 was devoted to web services
- Experience performing data analysis and translating the results into business recommendations
- Strong coding skills in Java, Python, Scala, Golang or any other modern programming language coupled with strong knowledge in object-oriented design and microservices architecture
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, Information Systems/Technology, Information Science, or a related discipline
- Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken (fluency in English required)
Requirements
- Experience with Identity, authentication, and authorization systems (helpful, but not required)
- Experience with anomaly detection, bot detection, machine learning, pattern recognition and/or data mining (helpful, but not required)
- Experience in building microservices (helpful, but not required)
