About Inscribe

At Inscribe, we're on a mission to catch fraud with confidence. In 2017, we set out to build the first document fraud detection product. Today, we process millions of applications each year and work with many of the leading fintechs and banks across the U.S. We believe the game of cat-and-mouse in fraud requires a fundamentally new approach. With care for our customers, attention to detail, and grounded execution, we’re reimagining how fraud is detected and prevented.

Inscribe is trusted by leading banks and fintechs, including Coinbase, Plaid, Bluevine, and Ramp. Inscribe is backed by Threshold Ventures, Uncork Capital, Y Combinator, Crosslink Capital, and Foundry, and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

• Respond quickly as new fraud trends and incidents emerge, adjusting priorities alongside the team

• Help design and scale the processes, workflows and automation that keep our risk operations efficient as we grow

• Spot gaps in our systems, policies and detection strategies and work with stakeholders across the business to recommend and deliver improvements that address emerging risks

• Contribute to ad hoc cross-functional projects that strengthen our fraud prevention strategies

About You

• 3+ years of experience in fraud, risk operations, trust & safety, a related investigative field or equivalent experience

• Hands-on SQL for investigations and analysis alongside other data tools (e.g., Excel, Google Workspace)

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound judgment on ambiguous cases

• Experience working across teams, ideally with Product or Engineering and explaining complex findings simply

• Comfortable speaking and presenting to customers and leadership
