Fingerprint empowers developers to stop online fraud at the source.

We work on turning radical new ideas in the fraud detection space into reality. Our products are developer-focused and our clients range from solo developers to publicly traded companies. We are a globally dispersed, 100% remote company with a strong open-source focus. Our flagship open-source project is FingerprintJS (20K stars on GitHub).

We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (previously invested in Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners (previously invested in Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures (previously invested in Redis, Rollbar & Gradle).

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.

We’re looking for a Senior back-end engineer to help us build a high performance, high accuracy online fraud prevention service. We need someone who has experience building server-side APIs using Node.js.

Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and maintain robust backend services and APIs that support our customer dashboard, public-facing management APIs, and internal back-office tools, including billing and subscription lifecycle management.
Lead and participate in technical and functional discussions, contributing to architectural decisions and owning backend components from design to deployment in a high-performing team environment.
Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, delivering high-quality backend solutions within fast-paced and sometimes time-constrained development cycles.
Work closely with product managers, designers, and frontend engineers to understand requirements, provide backend perspective, and ensure seamless integration of backend services with other systems.
This role includes participation in a shared on-call rotation. The schedule will be communicated in advance, and we strive to balance coverage equitably while minimizing off-hours disruptions.

Qualifications:

Excellent understanding of Internet security & privacy mechanisms.
Proven experience of API architecture and implementation.
Understanding of Hexagonal Architecture and Domain-Driven Design.
Experience using AWS for production deployments.
Good understanding of PostgreSQL 🐘.
Familiarity with message queues.

The base salary range for this role is $150,000 - $200,000. For cash compensation, we set standard ranges for all US based roles based on function, level and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. In order to be compliant with local legislation, as well as to provide greater transparency to candidates, we share salary ranges on all job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including geographic location as well as candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Offers vary depending on, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, certifications/licenses, skills, training, and market conditions.

Due 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.

We 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.
