How your day is going to look, what you will be doing? 

Our backend infrastructure is constructed from 3 main groups:

Payments Group:

The payments group builds the engine that drives melio. The group is responsible for the orchestration of the flow of funds between businesses both inside the US and internationally. Banks systems are old fashioned and our challenge to digitize them was described by our VP of CustomerService as building a Ferrari over bicycle wheels.

Risk Group:

The Risk group is what keeps Melio in business. The more volume we transfer the more challenging the tasks for Risk and Compliance. Working closely with Data Science to build fraud detection, eligibility services, money losses prevention and more.

Data Infra Group:

When money is involved you need to know as much as you can about all participants. This is done by integrating with as many third parties as we can, getting all the data into our data-lake and making it available for all departments. From gathering enrichments for the risk & compliance teams to helping find leads for the sales team, data-infra is in charge of all data and ML-Ops in melio.

• Each member of our team is an all-around player that influences the product from the overall experience to the development. 
•  You’ll be using top technologies like Typescript, Node.js, AWS and scalable databases to build a unique experience in the world of B2B payments.
• You should be passionate about engineering and building a product end-to-end, through the design, coding, testing, and deployment phases.
