The Boston Fed works to promote sound growth and financial stability in New England and the nation. We contribute to communities, the region, and the nation by conducting economic research, participating in monetary policy-making, supervising certain financial institutions, providing financial services and payments, playing a leadership role in the payments industry, and supporting economic well-being in communities through a variety of efforts.

The Federal Reserve has developed a new interbank 24x7x365 real-time gross settlement (RTGS) service with integrated clearing functionality, called the FedNow Service. This service enables financial institutions to provide their customers with the ability to send and receive payments any time, any day, and have full access to those funds within seconds. This position is a unique opportunity to be part of this mission-critical Federal Reserve initiative that is transforming the payments landscape in the United States.

Payments fraud continues to evolve rapidly as fraudsters adopt new tools and AI-driven tactics. This project will help the FedNow product team scan the horizon for technologies that could add to our fraud roadmap in a meaningful way by exploring trends, assessing the opportunity and feasibility, and identifying where FedNow can use these capabilities to progress / accelerate out work.

This role requires an in-person schedule. Candidates must reside in a commutable distance from the Boston Fed Bank location.
