About This Job

What You'll Do...

  • Risk platform. End-to-end ownership of Sift and Plaid Signal — rules, models, thresholds, score tuning, and the feedback loops that keep them sharp. You'll treat these as products you continuously improve, not tools you configure once.
  • Identity & fraud controls. Design and stand up controls that block fraudulent users while balancing good-user friction.
  • Loss, returns, and fraud reduction. Own the metrics and report progress.
  • Cross-functional risk programs. Lead risk-related initiatives with ACH Operations and drive them to measurable outcomes.
  • Product & Engineering partnership. Work directly with PMs and engineers bringing the data and the "why" to every conversation, not just requirements.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years in payments risk / fraud, with demonstrated ownership of loss and fraud outcomes and the metrics to prove it
  • Strong data analysis chops — you write your own Python and SQL and are comfortable working directly against a data warehouse. This is not a role that hands analysis off.
  • This is a player-coach role: a strong individual contributor who also leads a small team we expect to grow. You'll stay hands-on in the data while managing an analyst and scaling the team as the function matures. Prior experience leading a payments risk or fraud team at a fintech or payments company is strongly preferred.
  • Genuine curiosity and a bias for getting into the weeds.
  • "AI-forward" in practice: you've used LLMs and modern tooling to accelerate investigation, analysis, or controls.

It's a Bonus if You...

  • Have experience at a fintech operating an ACH product

You'll Get...

  • Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
  • Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
  • Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
  • Flexible vacation and sick days
