The work is approximately 60% analysis and reporting, 30% systems development and optimization, and 10% cross-functional communication.

- Partner & Tool Integration: Collaborate with fintech and banking partners to escalate and resolve risk events, KYC/AML alerts, and fraud signals.
- Audit & Compliance Reporting: Work with Product and Compliance to meet reporting requirements through accurate, timely, and audit-ready data.
- Rule Building & Preventative Controls: Design and tune platform rules (e.g. velocity limits, merchant blocks, IP/geolocation rules) to proactively mitigate fraud and reduce exposure.
- User Communication: Draft warning or education emails for users exhibiting risky behavior, balancing compliance clarity with empathetic communication.
- Proficiency in SQL and comfort working with large datasets.
- Strong grasp of statistics and data interpretation.
- Familiarity with RESTful APIs.
- Strong analytical skills (comfortable in Sheets, SQL, or dashboard tools like Metabase).
- Experience in fraud prevention, payments, or fintech risk operations preferred. But willing to teach as well.
