Responsibilities

→Strong hands-on experience consuming third-party APIs and SDKs. You can go from documentation to a working test without needing a full engineering team.
→Comfort with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or a similar scripting language, plus REST/JSON, OAuth or API-key authentication, Postman, curl, Git, and basic cloud tooling.
→Excellent technical research skills and the discipline to distinguish primary evidence, independent testing, vendor marketing claims, and your own conclusions.
→Experience translating ambiguous business questions into structured evaluation criteria and defensible recommendations.
→Strong written communication. Your research should be concise enough for an executive while detailed enough for an engineer to reproduce the work.
→Experience presenting technical findings to Product, walking Engineering through API test results, and discussing regulatory constraints with Security or Compliance.
→High agency and comfort working independently in an environment where priorities can change quickly.
→Dependable collaboration overlap with the U.S. Eastern time zone.
→Experience in identity verification, KYC/KYB, fraud prevention, biometrics, digital identity, cybersecurity, fintech, payments, or trust and safety.
