Fraugster is a payment security company with the goal of eliminating fraud and increasing our customers’ profits. Over the last years we’ve invented an artificial intelligence technology that combines human-like accuracy with machine scalability. This ability lets us foresee fraudulent attacks before they actually happen and gives us a distinct competitive advantage over every other player in the payment security space.

Job Description:
We make decisions based on data, it’s the core of our business, and it’s providing insights into the effectiveness of our product and features. We believe data powers creativity and productivity, and that a robust, reliable and scalable infrastructure is needed to support this.
Our Observability team is operating the solutions that make gaining insights from data possible with monitoring, logging, metrics and other telemetry tools. The team is responsible for simplifying the process of building data and metrics-driven products and features. This is a high impact, high visibility role that directly affects the experiences of all our engineers.
As we take on more services and responsibilities, we're looking to add another member to the team.
What you will be doing:
Design, build, and operate the observability stack of large-scale data infrastructure systems from the early stage
Improve the stack, dive into new technologies and figure out how best to monitor them
Provide easy ways to understand the state of the services at a given point in time, including the ability to trace requests across multiple services
Work with development teams in an advisory capacity to optimize usage of monitoring and logging tools: what to log, measure and alert, which metrics and events are important and why through guidance, documentation and internal discussion
Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and distribute knowledge, including Open-Source projects
Mentor and guide junior engineers as the team grows
You’re a good fit if some of the below applies to you:
You are a great teammate who can work effectively as part of a cross-functional team
You have strong analytical, problem solving, debugging, and troubleshooting skills
You are a good communicator in English, both verbal and written
You are knowledgeable about a variety of infrastructure and development topics
You have worked in an environment that runs multiple services handling a large number of transactions, owned by different teams
You have the skills to help a development team to perform complex debugging, but you also know when to let the team figure things out on their own
You enjoy thinking about how to make life simpler for other engineers
The experience we are looking for:
Designing, implementing and debugging large-scale data infrastructure systems, and identifying their performance bottlenecks
Understanding of long-term impacts of key design decisions and handling failure scenarios
Experience in Go is a big plus, but not strictly required and experience with a similar backend language would suffice. Our team can teach you and get you up to speed
Monitoring and operating open source software in production at scale e.g. Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker
Operating telemetry tools, e.g. the ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Istio and others
Not everything listed is required and not everything required is listed. If you have skills that are not listed but you think will contribute to your performance let us know!
What we offer:
The chance to be be part of a growing team of with plenty of room to leave your mark and impact company strategy and growth
Fun, creative and focused teams committed to learning and problem-solving through collaboration
Competitive salary and, if required, visa sponsorship and a relocation package
Office located in the heart of Berlin with teammates from around the world
Time to work on projects that are not in the scope of the sprint, standing desks, team events and a weekly company dinner
An environment in which you can balance great work with a great life
We value ownership and innovation, and we build our teams with that in mind. We want each team to be responsible and accountable for what they ship. We also don't want to reinvent the wheel every time, so we try to get alignment in terms of practices and technologies. Our philosophy to achieve this is relying on excellent tooling and automation over policies and processes.
We know that diverse teams are strong teams, and welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences from all over the world. We’re a team of technically curious problem solvers. Come and join us.
We are looking forward to receiving your application!

NHS prescriptions are complicated. And we want to change that. Driven by an innovative spirit and strong moral compass, we’re on a mission to make NHS prescriptions simple for everyone.
Since 2015 we’ve grown from a plucky start-up to a team of over 200 people – and become the fastest growing pharmacy in the UK. Today, over half a million people use our apps to manage their NHS prescriptions, and our patients rate us as ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot.
But there’s so much more to do. Because while 1 in 2 adults in the UK has a repeat prescription, only 3.2% of them use an online pharmacy. And we need bright minds to help us change how people manage their medicine for good.
True to our start-up roots, LloydsDirect has a supportive, entrepreneurial culture. We move fast, challenge the status quo, and always try to do the right thing. Sound good? Then we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll do as Senior Software Engineer
As a senior engineer you will:
- Understand our business goals and strategy and be able to make decisions based on them
- Be able to take ambiguous problems, break them down, and help to find elegant solutions that don’t gloss over the details
- Contribute to code shared across projects
- Mentor other engineers through code reviews and pairing
This role is for you if
You’re excited by the idea of working on a product that helps make people’s lives better
The technology we use sounds interesting to you (or you already know and love it)
Reading a 1500 page document on the Zebra programming language sounds like a fun afternoon
You like being able to dip in and out of different parts of the stack wherever you are most needed and are keen to get stuck into and learn about the parts you don’t know yet
You love mentoring other engineers and believe that doing it is at least as valuable as your work as an individual contributor
This role may not be for you if
You’re more into quibbling about tech stacks or coding styles (we have linters for that) than creating a really great product
You measure your success by lines of code written over the impact it has
You only want to work off fully specified requirements and to not have to talk with your team mates
Perks & Benefits
● £350 per year physical wellbeing allowance e.g. gym membership, dancing classes
● £500 per year personal learning and development budget
● £500 per year working from home set up budget
● Enhanced maternity (13 weeks fully paid) and paternity (6 weeks fully paid)
● Pension contribution

Platform Engineer Popsa London, United Kingdom £50,000 to £70,000 a year
July 2019
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Popsa is a design-led, engineering focussed company that uses machine learning to help people rediscover their best experiences and turn them into beautiful printed products.
We grew about 500% in 2018 and we’re now shipping over half a million photos a week to 50 countries around the world.
This position is a great opportunity for experienced software engineers with a background in the likes of Go, Python, PHP or Node.js looking to apply their existing skillset and learn and use Go in a production environment.
Our Platform Technology Stack
Most of our backend code is written in Go with some Python and Node.js used where they're the right tool for the job.
We’re entirely hosted on AWS and make extensive use of many of their services (over 30 at last count!)
15+ containerised microservices running in ECS (we’re open to exploring moving to Kubernetes in the future if appropriate). Our services talk protocol buffers over HTTP and are discovered with Consul.
Dozens of event driven serverless functions running on Lambda, some running as APIs behind API Gateway and others as Step Functions
Dockerised batch compute workflows
NoSQL databases (predominantly DynamoDB and ElasticSearch)
Serverless analytics data lake backed by S3 using Athena (PrestoDB)
Terraform and Serverless Framework to manage our infrastructure as code
Read more about our platform technology stack here.
Some other blog posts you might find interesting too:
This is a central role and the work you’ll be doing will touch every aspect of the business. The Popsa platform doesn’t just power our mobile apps, but numerous internal business applications and custom integrations with our industrial print partners (some of this runs on a fleet of Raspberry PIs!), as well as a burgeoning data platform which will feed further into our growth strategies.
Our Head of Engineering Alex likes to describe our platform as an iceberg - the bit customers encounter is just the tip above the water - underneath is a dynamic event-driven structure that enables us to be a lean business that can iterate and experiment rapidly.
You will gain a unique perspective of a high growth business and have an opportunity to shape the landscape of our backend APIs, data pipelines and strategies, infrastructure automation and many more engineering goals.
You Should Apply If
You're impact driven and eager to have a real positive impact on the company, product, users and very importantly your colleagues as well
You have a self-starter mindset; you proactively identify issues and opportunities and tackle them without being told to do so
You’re keen to learn more about and play around with new technologies
What we’re doing here at Popsa excites you!
Desired skill set:
