With business spanning Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, each market presents distinct risk profiles and fraud patterns, requiring differentiated control strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Lead the collaborative decisioning mechanism between rule engines and AI models, build quantitative strategy performance dashboards, and support rapid business expansion within a controlled risk envelope.

• 3. Optimize risk rule engines and decision models; drive the adoption of collaborative rule-plus-AI-model decisioning; build strategy performance dashboards and continuously track and optimize core metrics such as hit rate, false positive rate, and manual review rate.
• 4. Optimize risk review processes and standards to improve risk identification and resolution efficiency; lead emergency response and post-incident reviews for major risk events.
• 5. Participate in risk assessments for new products, new businesses, and new markets; provide risk control solutions to business teams and support business expansion within a controlled risk envelope.

Requirements

• 1. Bachelor's degree or above. 5+ years of risk control experience in cross-border payment/fintech, with B2B business risk scenario design experience; proficient in strategy design and implementation across core risk control domains such as transaction anti-fraud, customer onboarding risk control, and transaction monitoring.
• 2. Familiar with the mechanics of risk rule engines and decisioning systems; hands-on experience implementing collaborative rule-plus-model decisioning; proficient in SQL or Python/R for strategy analysis and performance evaluation.
• 3. Familiar with the risk characteristics of key markets including Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, with the ability to design differentiated risk control solutions for different markets.
• 4. Strong cross-functional collaboration and project delivery skills; able to balance business growth with risk tolerance in a fast-paced environment.

Bonus

• 1. English as a working language.
• 2. Combined risk control and compliance background.
• 3. Risk control experience in VCC business or the Web3/blockchain industry.
