About CYBERA

Scamsdrained$450 billionfrom consumers last year, up 19% in two years, and the number keeps growing as scammer armies use AI at scale. Every bank, insurer, fintech, and crypto exchange is increasingly on the hook to cover losses as new regulations to protect consumers are enacted. Every fraud tool on the market today fails at this usecase, whenvictims legitimately authorize payments. To the bank, transactions look normal,controlsnever fire, and just like that the money is gone.

CYBERA goes upstream to disrupt thescameconomy. Our agenticscamdefense platform engages scammers at scale,turnthem into informants, andcapturethe mule accounts they plan to use before anyone loses money. Banks, insurers, and payment companies use CYBERA to know their bad accounts before money moves in and freeze payments to bad accounts before money heads out. When scammers are successful, CYBERA's agentic response engine traces, freezes, and helps recover funds, dramatically improving consumer outcomes. Leading banks, insurers, and crypto exchanges use CYBERA to cut fraud losses, speed up victim recovery, and turn everyscamattempt into intelligence that protects the next customer.

Every Cyberian is a disruptor, using AI for good to stop financial crime at scale. If taking on this$450 billionproblem sounds like your kind of work,we'dlike to meet you. Learn more at.

About the role

As a Data Engineer, you’ll build and own the data foundation behind CYBERA’s mule intelligence and scam prevention products. You will turn high-volume, messy operational data into fast, reliable, and trusted datasets that our analysts, products, and customers can use with confidence. Working closely with engineering and data analytics, you’ll own the data warehouse and lake, strengthen data quality and performance, and create scalable standards for modelling, lineage, and metric definitions. This is a hands-on role on a small team where you will have significant ownership and the agency to solve problems end to end.

Build and operate the pipelines that move data from the CYBERA platform and the systems behind our mule intelligence into the warehouse

Transform messy operational data into clean, documented datasets that analysts, products, and customer-facing systems can rely on

Define core business rules and metrics centrally so teams get consistent answers from the same data

Improve query and platform performance by reviewing execution plans, tuning indexes, and deciding what should be materialized as data volumes grow

Implement data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting to identify issues before they affect the business or our customers

Maintain lineage and versioning for data produced by LLM pipelines so changes do not silently alter reported results

Partner with data analysts on metric definitions, investigate upstream issues, and support reliable dashboards and reporting

Collaborate with engineers on schema changes, migrations, backfills, and reviews of production data code
