  • Ensure platform scalability to support new products, geographies, and risk vectors.
  • Work closely with Compliance and Legal to ensure controls support regulatory expectations.
What we're looking for

  • Hands on fraud prevention strategy experience
  • Proven track record of complex problem solving and decision-making skills
  • Strong analytical skills and team player
