[Hiring] Risk & Anti-Fraud Specialist @GR8_TECH

Role Description

This role exists to protect sportsbook margin and safeguard our betting ecosystem against real-time operational risk and targeted sports fraud. You’ll help us maintain high-velocity platform integrity by identifying sophisticated exploitation, executing precise risk mitigations under tight SLAs, and fine-tuning automated risk controls.

What you’ll drive

• Monitoring & Fraud Discovery
  • Monitor real-time risk signals and betting velocity across pre-match and live sports markets to detect arbitrage, latency exploitation, late lines, and syndicate activity.
  • Investigate complex account networks by linking bet patterns, timing, odds anomalies, device fingerprints, IPs, and payment trails.
  • Analyze suspicious fixtures and irregular betting volumes to isolate systemic manipulation and potential match-fixing from organic player action.
  • Differentiating high-volume winners from fraudulent abusers, ensuring commercial profitability while protecting VIP experience from unjustified restrictions.
• Risk Decisions & Operational Execution
  • Execute calibrated risk interventions—including sports segmentation, stake limits, delay adjustments, and settlement blocks—within approved operational authority.
  • Process technical refunds and manual bet recalculations swiftly when third-party data feeds, line drops, or settlement engines encounter edge-case errors.
  • Manage critical incidents and mass alerts during high-profile sporting events, triaging financial exposure under high concurrency and strict time constraints.
  • Maintain audit-ready case files, structured tags, and detailed shift logs so that cross-shift investigations never lose operational context.
• Cross-Team Alignment & Stakeholder Collaboration
  • Partner directly with Trading and Sport Integrity teams to align on margin targets, line discrepancies, market suspensions, and external integrity alerts.
  • Manage operational tickets through Jira/Service Desk, resolving risk queries within strict response-time SLAs.
  • Coordinate with sports data providers during external investigations requiring upstream event validation or official result verification.
• Optimization & Tool Evolution
  • Validate new risk algorithms and automated detection rules, participating in UAT to minimize false positives and repetitive manual workflows.
  • Pinpoint system edge-cases and detection gaps, submitting reproducible bug reports and clear functional requirements for internal risk tooling.
  • Mentor junior specialists and document standard operating procedures in our shared knowledge base to elevate shift performance.

Qualifications

• 1+ years of hands-on experience in sportsbook risk operations, sports trading, antifraud, or integrity analysis.

• Demonstrated track record of independent risk triage, including managing back-office risk configurations (segments, delays, limits, manual resettlements).
• Operational stamina: Proven ability to prioritize calmly and execute accurate financial interventions during high-volume live event incidents.
• Fluency in Ukrainian and Russian, alongside Intermediate English or higher for platform systems, documentation, and engineering communication.

Nice-to-have

• Experience configuring alert rules or running acceptance testing for internal risk/fraud prevention tooling.
• Exposure to query/visualization tools (e.g., SQL, Tableau, Power BI) for analyzing GGR trends and false-positive alert ratios.
• Academic background in Finance, Economics, Statistics, IT, or Sports Management.
