Member of Technical Staff (Backend)

For four years, our backend systems helped answer one question: should this company onboard this user? The clear cases were automated; the ambiguous ones went to a human who worked each case by hand. That's where the fraud worth catching tends to be.

Footprint's risk agent, Percy, goes after that queue: an agent that can do more in review than a person can, and faster. The identity verification platform underneath it was built for bounded request/response work, and now agent-shaped workloads ask different questions of it. There's little precedent to copy.

You'd span both worlds: the platform financial services run on today, and the agentic products we're building on top of it.

You'll report directly to the Head of Engineering - Elliott Forde.

• API and service design. The Rust APIs and services powering verification, vaulting, and the checks Percy runs to investigate users for fraud. These are the surfaces our customers' products call directly, which makes the design decisions hard to take back
