At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.
This is a remote position, so you’ll be working remotely from your home. You may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings.
Join Our Team
A world-class Risk management system is critical for the success of any payments business.
The Commerce Transactional Risk team has been around for more than 4 years. During this time, our volume has grown to billions of dollars of GPV annually, and it continues to grow at a healthy rate year over year. We are proud that through this growth our fraud losses have always been comfortably better than our target. This is due to the amazing work that this team consistently performs.
As a Senior Engineer on the Commerce Risk team in Colombia, you will play a lead role in designing and building our Risk services. Here are some exciting technical challenges that you may encounter:
- We are laying down the platform to ingest massive datasets and use them to give real-time (or near real-time) decisions with a high degree of accuracy.
- Fraud patterns are constantly evolving, and a Risk system needs to be highly adaptable. We have built a highly configurable Risk system so that we can roll out new risk rules or make changes to existing ones quickly.
- To improve our adaptability to changing fraud patterns and to improve the accuracy of our decisions, we have started using Machine Learning models to score Transactional Risk.
- Our volume is growing at a very healthy rate. In 2024 and beyond we expect to grow this volume manifold as we integrate deeper into GoDaddy ecosystem. This is bringing some interesting availability and scalability challenges.
