About The Team

The Risk Operations team is looking for an experienced fraud analyst to join an industry-leading global fraud operations team. This position is responsible for writing and maintaining fraud rulesets to prevent transaction fraud, conducting data analysis to identify and mitigate fraud attacks, while minimizing impact to users, and working collaboratively with fraud, operations, and product stakeholders to proactively implement fraud strategies and controls. They should have a deep understanding of fraud patterns and typologies, advanced SQL proficiency, strong analytical abilities, and experience writing and managing fraud rulesets.

What you'll do

Did you know that only around 4% of the world's GDP comes from internet commerce? At Stripe, we believe that this represents a future with almost limitless potential for innovation, creativity, and global prosperity. While the promise of a global online economy is palpable, it doesn't come without significant risk. Each day, bad actors disrupt the trust and safety of the internet and increase the barrier of entry for online businesses. Before we can fully realize the potential of a global internet economy, we must first address the burgeoning problem of fraud. We are looking for someone passionate about fighting fraud, identifying new trends and typologies, conducting complex data analysis, and working collaboratively with peers and partners in the fraud space. This position works closely with cross-functional stakeholders across product, engineering, data science, and operations to identify and mitigate risk from complex, distributed transaction fraud attacks. The right candidate for this role will have a minimum of five years' experience conducting advanced data analysis using SQL, preferably within the fraud space across e-commerce, payments, or cryptocurrency. Candidates should have experience writing, maintaining, and analyzing complex fraud rulesets and demonstrated success minimizing fraud losses along with impacts to users. Candidates should also have experience working closely with product teams to implement risk controls and demonstrate a deep understanding of fraud typologies, controls, and ability to mitigate fraud risk.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain fraud rulesets to prevent transaction-level fraud losses, including ongoing monitoring and measurements of precision and recall
• Conduct advanced data analysis of structured and unstructured data sets to proactively identify emerging fraud attacks impacting Stripe and its users
