Equifax is where you can power your possible. If you want to achieve your true potential, chart new paths, develop new skills, collaborate with bright minds, and make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you. Who is Kount? Kount, an Equifax Company, delivers digital fraud prevention and account protection for more than 9,000 leading brands and payment providers. Linked by Kount's award-winning AI, the Identity Trust Global Network analyzes signals from 32 billion annual interactions to personalize experiences across the spectrum of trust - from ensuring frictionless experiences to blocking fraud. Quick and accurate identity trust decisions deliver safe payment, account creation, and login events while reducing digital fraud, chargebacks, false positives, and manual reviews. As a Staff Software Engineer at Kount, you'll join a team of engineers building our next generation fraud detection and prevention systems in the Amazon cloud. Since the techniques and technologies fraudsters use are continuously evolving, you'll encounter and solve interesting problems as you build creative solutions to protect our clients. Working closely with Kount's team of Solution Architects, you'll design, build, and unit test robust, high-throughput, cloud-native components in a microservice architecture. Specifically, you'll leverage Agile and continuous delivery methodologies to build containerized services written in Golang and deployed via GitLab CI to Kubernetes (EKS). You'll research and evaluate new technologies to determine if and how we leverage them, so it's important that you're comfortable learning new concepts quickly. What You'll Do
