Job Description:
You have super powers. Use them for good. We catch bad guys and
stop online fraud. It's fun. It's hard. It matters. We need you.
Amazon's Financial Fraud team is engaged in a technological arms
race: cyber-criminals from across the world continually look for
new ways to steal from us and cover their tracks, while we invent
new techniques to detect and neutralize them with ever increasing
speed and scale. It's fun. We don't just catch the bad guys; we
stop crimes before they happen. Remember the "Minority Report"?
It's just like that. Basically, we predict the future by developing
and applying cutting-edge machine learning systems to detect,
predict, and prevent online fraud before it happens.
It's hard. This is Amazon, so of course our services are low
latency, high throughput, highly scalable, and failure proof. Our
fraud prevention systems are also highly reactive: we process
multiple terabytes of data yet notice changes in individual
behavior patterns in seconds. Even by Amazon standards, our
datasets are massive and our transaction rates impressive, and
everything is built with a scrupulous attention to security.
It matters. Amazon is one of the world's most trusted companies.
Consider the implications of losing that trust. Third-party sellers
account for nearly half the items purchased on Amazon. This nearly
always goes smoothly; but when sellers cheat buyers, everyone
loses. Even after we refund their money, buyers are less likely to
shop at Amazon in the future. Legitimate sellers lose potential
sales and are less likely to sell on Amazon. And of course, the
money Amazon pays in refunds and chargebacks goes straight to our
bottom line and ultimately results in higher prices for all our
customers. We are looking for a passionate and innovative Software
Development Engineer to join a brand new small, agile team of
engineers who love solving hard problems focused on detecting and
stopping bad actors. Amazon is one of the world's most trusted
companies. Help us keep it that way. About the team
Here at Selling Partner Services, we embrace our differences. We
are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have 14
employee-led affinity groups, reaching 10,000+ employees in
chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we

Ambassador Program. Amazon's culture of inclusion is reinforced
within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to
seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.
