About the role:

You'll build and tune the fraud rules protecting Salmon's real-time payment decisioning platform, adapting to evolving transaction volumes and fraud patterns.

What you'll do:

• Work with custom scripting, complex decision logic, and live transaction data across Salmon's real-time payment decisioning platform.

• Partner daily with fraud, AML, compliance, and operations teams to translate risk requirements into production-ready system logic.

• Operate across the full lifecycle — from rule design and API integration through deployment, incident response, and documentation.

What you'll own:

• Build and tune antifraud rules and decision logic in the automated platform, iterating on detection performance as fraud patterns evolve.

• Design and build API integrations for fraud and risk decisioning from scratch, and manage integrations with AML, Core Banking, and external service providers.

• Design new microservices and improve existing service logic and architecture.

• Investigate and resolve production incidents for fraud-related services, and document outcomes.

• Own the full delivery lifecycle — gather requirements, manage tasks in Jira and Confluence, oversee releases, and monitor services in production.

• Write and maintain clear technical documentation for rules, integrations, and system components.

What makes you a strong fit:

• 3+ years of experience as a System Analyst, System Engineer, or Software Developer in fintech or banking.

• Hands-on experience with code development or low-code/automation platforms.

• Strong knowledge of microservices architecture, system integration patterns, and API design — comfortable building integrations from scratch.

• Strong SQL skills for data analysis and validation.

• Familiar with GitLab or GitOps workflows.

• English level B2 or higher — capable of effective written and verbal communication.

What we offer:

Ownership and flexibility

• Stock option plan — four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year

• Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 12:00 to 6:00 PM Manila time (UTC+8)

Health and time off
