Feedzai Research focuses on anticipating and solving Feedzai’s long-term goals without the delivery pressure of product development. The Systems Research Team makes data-driven decisions to design and create new products like Railgun - a state-of-the-art engine to compute real-time metrics now used across Feedzai to process thousands of events per second with millisecond latencies at a scale that Kafka Streams or Flink could not handle - and Feedzai Genome - which gives a graph-view of fraud, allowing analysts to discover other fraud patterns and to tag fraud at scale. We strive to develop ethical cutting edge technology to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters of tomorrow. We work closely with Product and Data Science to build distributed systems that support high-load, operate 24/7 with low latencies, and use Machine Learning to make decisions and fight fraud more efficiently. As a research team, we focus on long-term, disruptive, state-of-the-art research, produce and protect our IP, publish peer reviewed work, contribute to open-source, and partner with external researchers and universities.
