Prezzee operates a two-sided marketplace connecting consumers and businesses with retail gift cards, built on Python + Django + FastAPI + GraphQL running on AWS. The company is actively hardening its security posture—adopting AWS WAF, rolling out fraud controls, and hiring dedicated compliance and security leadership—while simultaneously pursuing AI automation (custom agents, chatbots) and expanding closed-loop payment capabilities. This hiring mix (security and product-heavy, with sales and engineering additions) reflects dual momentum: maturing the platform's operational risk profile and building new revenue surfaces.
