Fingerprint empowers enterprises to detect and stop online fraud with the world’s most accurate device intelligence. We lead our industry with bleeding-edge identification capabilities and work on turning new ideas and discoveries in the fraud detection space into reality. Our customers range from innovative startups to leading enterprise companies, including Plaid, Dropbox, and Booking.com.
Fingerprint is a globally dispersed, 100% remote company. We were named on on the 2026 Forbes Best Startup Employers list and ranked #803 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
We have raised $77M and are backed by Craft Ventures (Tesla, Facebook, Airbnb ), Nexus Venture Partners ( Postman, Apollo.io, MinIO, Druva) and Uncorrelated Ventures ( Redis, Rollbar, Gradle).
We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to be part of the development of end-to-end fraud detection solutions for our API team. Your primary responsibility will be building highly performant backend systems and infrastructure that handle large-scale real-time data processing.
This role requires strong experience and skills in backend software development, particularly focused on API development and scaling existing systems in both Go and Node.js. You will design and implement scalable, high-performance backend systems, ensuring smooth integration with other components. You'll take ownership of features from concept to final deployment, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and robust solutions.
A key aspect of this role involves a deep understanding of scaling distributed systems thereby allowing us to multiply our capacity safely and efficiently as our user base continues to grow rapidly.
At Fingerprint, we believe in pay transparency — it's part of how we operate as a distributed, remote-first team. Salaries are based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies.
Because this role is open across the United States and can be based anywhere our team members work from, the salary range reflects that geographic breadth: $133k - $180k
Some example salaries for specific locations are below:
NYC: $157k - $180k
Chicago: $133k - $153k
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including the successful candidate's location, experience, and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
