LexisNexis Risk Solutions - ThreatMetrix
Engineering Manager – Behavioral Biometrics
Location: Sweden
About Us:
At ThreatMetrix, we’re committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions in fraud prevention, behavioral biometrics, and digital identity intelligence. Our integrated product, combining ThreatMetrix and BehavioSec technology, sets the benchmark for ensuring secure online transactions while adhering to global privacy standards like GDPR.
About the Team:
You will lead the Behavioral Biometrics engineering team based in Sweden, part of the wider Device Intelligence organization.
