The Product and Software engineering department drives, oversees, coordinates, and executes the entire lifecycle of product development. It’s a huge job, which is why we break it down into objectives and task-oriented initiatives. That involves delegating to a bunch of teams, including the Admin, Scoring, Data Enrichment, AI, Growth, Onboarding, QA, DevOps, and more – all collaborating to build the best anti-fraud tool possible.
A Staff Java Engineer in our organization brings strong software engineering expertise first but also comes with a strong mentoring mindset to support engineering teams and work closely with our engineering leadership. SEON relies on a product-led growth approach.
Our Scoring Team is the heart of SEON: we essentially collect data and provide it to customers so they can block fraud.
