• Build software products that protect customers from attacks and fraud at scale

Required profile

• A genuinely AI-native way of working: fluency with modern AI development tools and agentic workflows
• Proven experience as a full-stack engineer delivering complex products end-to-end
• Experience leading, mentoring or growing engineers, and a genuine interest in people growth
• Strong ownership of Agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban, Jira)

• Fluency in English and Italian

Required skills

• Solid command of Git and version control best practices
