Senior Data Engineer, Tech Lead

About the role

Cybercrime is rising, reaching record highs. According to the FBI's IC3 report total losses exceeded $16 billion. With investment fraud and BEC scams at the forefront, the message is clear: the real estate sector remains a lucrative target for cybercriminals. At CertifID, we take this threat seriously and provide a platform that verifies the identities of parties involved in transactions, authenticates wire transfer instructions, and detects potential fraud attempts. Our technology is designed to mitigate risks and ensure that every transaction is conducted with confidence and peace of mind.

We are guided by core values and a world without wire fraud. Our team is committed to enhancing security and fighting fraud — where your work drives real, meaningful impact. We know we couldn't take on this challenge without our incredible team and have been recognized as one of the Best Startups to Work for in Austin, made the Inc. 5000 list, and won Best Culture by Purpose Jobs two years in a row.

Our core values define who we are and how we work:

- Guard The Customer: We exist to protect people, their money and their trust. We start with their problem and build secure solutions worthy of the responsibility.

- Raise The Bar: Growth is something we choose every day. We push ourselves to learn, improve, and do our best work.

- Influence Outcomes: Leadership is how you show up. We take ownership, act with urgency, and follow through.

- Teamwork Wins: Great work is a team effort. We show up for each other, communicate openly, and get better together.
