About the Role :

  • Fideo Intelligence transforms massive datasets into real-time fraud-detection insights that protect people and organizations worldwide.
  • As our Senior Platform Engineer , you’ll own the end-to-end reliability and performance of Fideo’s real-time fraud-detection backbone.
  • You’ll spend half your time architecting, securing, and operating our AWS environments, and half your time as a backend engineer building and optimizing microservices.
  • Your work directly impacts our ability to process millions of events per day with sub-100 ms latency, maintain SOC 2 controls, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
  • You’ll drive AWS best practices, designing VPCs, IAM policies, networking, and container platforms (EKS / ECS), to ensure high availability and airtight security.
  • You’ll lead vulnerability assessments, patch cycles and compliance initiatives, documenting controls and guiding audits to keep us SOC 2 ready.
  • On the code side, you’ll design, implement and tune Java microservices that power our streaming pipelines and customer-facing APIs.
  • You’ll identify hotspots, refactor for scale, and instrument services with metrics, logs, and distributed tracing, turning data into actionable insights on demand.

  • automating CI / CD, defining SLIs / SLOs, responding to incidents, and evolving our observability framework.
