You will analyze patterns, document findings, escalate when needed, and help improve procedures and detection tools while upholding player trust and game integrity.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of experience in fraud investigation, risk analysis, payment operations, KYC/AML, account security, Trust & Safety, or a closely related field.
• Strong investigative and analytical skills, with the ability to gather evidence, test hypotheses, assess credibility, and reach well-supported conclusions.
• Experience analyzing transaction data, system logs, account histories, and behavioral patterns to identify suspicious activity across individual cases and broader trends.
• Sound judgment and decision-making skills, particularly when handling ambiguous situations or cases that require interpretation beyond established policies.
• Fluency in both English and Portuguese, with strong written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, accurate, and well-structured investigation reports.
• Comfort using administrative dashboards, CRM platforms, ticketing systems, and internal investigation tools, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
• A genuine interest in gaming and an understanding of the importance of player trust, community well‑being, fair enforcement, and a positive gaming experience.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and maintain accuracy in a fully remote environment.
• Flexibility to work assigned shifts, including daytime or nighttime schedules, according to operational requirements.
• Reliable high‑speed internet, a stable electricity supply, and a suitable home workstation.
• Previous experience in mobile, online, or live‑service gaming, especially with virtual economies or in‑game currencies, is an advantage.
• Familiarity with chargebacks, payment disputes, payment providers, account takeover investigations, phishing, or credential theft is a plus.
• Knowledge of identity verification providers and age assurance workflows is beneficial.
• Professional certifications such as CFE or CAMS are desirable.
• Experience using SQL or large datasets to investigate fraud patterns at scale is an additional advantage.
• Background in content moderation, player support, or broader Trust & Safety operations is also beneficial.

Responsabilités

• - Investigate refund abuse and chargeback fraud by analyzing patterns across player accounts, payment methods, transaction histories, and purchasing behavior.
• - Identify and investigate in-game exploits and virtual economy abuse, including unauthorized trading, bot activity, and manipulation of game systems.
• - Manage account takeover investigations from start to finish, determining whether accounts have been compromised, containing threats, securing accounts, and supporting player recovery.
• - Review identity and age verification cases, identify potential attempts to circumvent verification processes, and take appropriate action in accordance with established policies.
• - Analyze administrative tools, system logs, device information, session records, payment data, and account histories to establish the facts behind suspicious activity.
• - Document investigations and decisions clearly, ensuring that findings, supporting evidence, actions taken, and conclusions are understandable and traceable.
• - Escalate complex cases or incidents involving significant financial, security, or reputational risks, providing organized evidence and relevant context.
• - Handle Trust & Safety escalations, including ban appeals, player safety concerns, and policy violations that require investigation beyond frontline moderation.
• - Identify recurring fraud patterns, emerging abuse techniques, and weaknesses in automated detection systems, including instances of false positives or inaccurate decisions.
