Backend Engineer (AI-Native) — Risk Infrastructure & Integrations
Coris, Palo Alto, California
About the job
🧠 About Coris
Coris is the AI platform for risk and financial operations. Platforms, marketplaces, payment providers, and banks - GoFundMe, Clio, Cherry, and a growing list - use Coris to onboard merchants faster, monitor them continuously, and act on fraud without adding headcount. One customer described us as "Cursor + Lovable for risk teams."
We're backed by Y Combinator, Lux Capital, and Pathlight, founded by payments-domain experts, and growing quickly on customer pull. We're a small team; this hire owns a large share of the backend.
👥 Who you'll work with
Coris was started by Vinodh (CEO) and Shyam (CTO). We've each spent 20+ years in fraud and risk management, running risk engineering, operations and product teams at Google, eBay, PayPal and WePay. You'll work directly with both of us in Palo Alto.
🚀 Why this role matters
Every Coris decision runs on data we pull from payment processors and platforms: Stripe, Adyen, Fiserv, TSYS, Repay, and more, over APIs, webhooks, and SFTP file feeds - hundreds of millions of events a month, billions of rows in Postgres. On top of that sits a signals and rules engine, an account graph, and the partner-facing API our customers build on.
