Who we are
We scan and interpret the entire digital footprint of a business - from websites and social media to hidden online mentions - revealing who they really are and whether they pose a risk.
Global financial institutions and payment providers rely on us to stop fraudsters running shell companies, selling counterfeit goods, or laundering money.
The Role
Deploying agentic risk and compliance systems in Europe means getting the details right: GDPR and data residency, local regulatory expectations, scheme rules, and each customer's own compliance policies.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you embed with risk, compliance, and operations teams at our European customers and make deployments actually land: integrated with their core systems, aligned with their obligations, and delivering measurable outcomes their auditors, schemes, and regulators can live with.
What We Do?
What You'll Do
- Embed deeply with customers (underwriting, risk ops, and compliance teams) to understand their specific workflows, data, and constraints
- Design and build integrations between Ballerine and customer systems: core processing, CRMs, case management, data providers
- Configure and extend underwriting, monitoring, and screening workflows to match each customer's risk policy and local regulatory requirements
- Help customers redesign manual processes into agentic ones, with the right guardrails and human oversight
- Take deployments from discovery through pilot to production, then keep improving them based on real usage
- Work through real-world constraints: GDPR and data residency, audit trails, model governance, scheme and regulator expectations
- Feed what you learn in the field back into our various products and capabilities
What You Bring
- A hands-on engineer (backend, full-stack, or solutions) who is happy owning outcomes, not just tickets
- Comfortable with APIs, data flows, integrations, and ambiguity
- A clear communicator who can sit across from a Chief Compliance Officer and an engineer in the same meeting
- High-ownership, bias to action, energized by customer environments; comfortable traveling within Europe
A strong advantage: background in the space we serve: financial services, payments, acquiring, risk, or compliance. If you've worked at or with an acquirer, PSP, bank, or risk/compliance vendor, you'll feel at home here, and our customers will feel it too.
