Software Developer - Reputation Technology Iovation

Who We Are:

iovation is in the business of making the Internet a safer place. We've spent the last six years developing award-winning technologies that now stop more than 100,000 fraudulent activities every day for hundreds of corporate customers. We help protect users of financial services, games, social networks, and commercial sites from account takeover, and we protect the companies providing those services from many other kinds of fraud.


Our challenge at iovation is to make amazing tools and help people put them to work. Today we're looking for help in making our offering more effective and in making our service scale to be able to handle every important transaction that crosses the Internet (yes, really).


iovation is a very special little company. Each of us are extraordinarily self-directed and self-motivated. We work well as a team and cede authority to each other with ease and regularity. That also means that enormous responsibility falls on each of us to ensure that we are doing The Right Thing. We pride ourselves on alacrity, on doing things quickly and well, and on keeping things as simple as possible.


What would you do if everyone got out of your way and let you do your best That's what we can offer.

We believe:

- The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.
- No problem should ever have to be solved twice.
- Boredom and drudgery are evil.
- Learning from mistakes requires the freedom to make them.


Who You Are:

Over the last 2-4 years, you've developed your skills in creating loosely-coupled, event-driven messaging systems, and you are looking to be a part of a fast-paced, highly motivated team of developers in creating the next generation of intelligent fraud fighting systems. You understand that the way things have always been done isn't necessarily the way they should always be done, and that your brilliant idea today can still be made better tomorrow. You understand the importance of committing to a date and then hitting it, and you love the energy of working with an energized team of enthusiastic doers.


Come work with us, and you will be an integral part of the ongoing development of a globally distributed reputation management system, and you'll always be on the lookout for ways to outthink and outsmart the bad guys. Your daily activities will include working closely with members of an agile development team in understanding requirements and expectations, planning and estimating development tasks, and cranking out beautiful code that makes our customers sing and fraudsters weep with frustration.


We want someone who is passionate about the work; not just about writing software, but about making amazing systems that hum while they thrill our users. Our customers, the product, and the process matter to you - in that order.
