  • Collaborate closely with Machine Learning and Backend Teams to productionize data assets and enable scalable, reliable decisioning systems.
  • Analyze large-scale transactional, fraud and chargeback datasets to surface trends, detect anomalies and support deep-dive investigations.
  • Build and maintain real-time dashboards and reporting mechanisms that provide leadership, operations and product teams with visibility into critical KPIs across Risk, Fraud and Disputes.

  • Act as a domain expert on fraud and dispute data, supporting internal investigations and responding to customer-facing data queries with clarity and accuracy.
  • Partner with Finance and Operations to answer business-critical questions related to dispute performance, costs and trends.
  • Collaborate with Engineering to design, validate and maintain Airflow pipelines and ETL workflows that support scalable and resilient data infrastructure.

Qualifications

  • Expert in SQL, including analytical functions, performance optimization, and ETL best practices.
  • Deep domain expertise in risk and fraud signals, dispute patterns or related behavioral datasets.
  • Strong analytical intuition and ability to transform ambiguous business questions into structured, impactful analyses and actionable recommendations.
  • Significant experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau).
  • Ability to shape technical solutions, data models, and architectures that support robust analytics and scalable ML/data applications.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional leaders across Product, Engineering and Operations.
  • Proficient with modern data tooling (e.g., Airflow, dbt).

Requirements

  • Experience labelling data for Machine Learning models or partnering with Machine Learning Engineers on future creation.
  • Understanding of card network chargeback rules, fraud reason codes, or dispute lifecycle.
