• Analyze user activity data to identify scammer and fraud modus operandi, surfacing patterns across listings, accounts, messaging, and transactions
• Own the full lifecycle of detection rules on internal risk systems: propose, test, deploy, and iterate — in close collaboration with engineering and operations teammates
• Translate investigation findings into concrete detection signals and rule logic; work directly with engineers and data scientists to implement them
• Monitor performance of active rules (precision, recall, false-positive rate) and proactively tune based on results
• Investigate emerging abuse patterns end-to-end: from data exploration to root cause analysis to recommended response
• Partner with operations (trust analysts, CS) to turn frontline observations into analytical hypotheses
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports to track fraud trends, rule coverage, and team KPIs
• Participate in cross-functional reviews with Product and Engineering on fraud tooling and model development

Qualifications

Competencies & Prior Experience

• Strong SQL skills — comfortable writing complex queries for exploratory analysis and production monitoring
• Experience analyzing behavioral or transactional datasets to detect anomalies, patterns, or abuse signals
• Logical, structured problem-solving: able to decompose ambiguous fraud patterns into testable hypotheses

• Working knowledge of how ML/data science models function (not a builder, but a capable consumer and collaborator)
• Comfortable with APIs, data pipelines, and understanding what data points drive what model or rule outcomes
• At ease in a terminal environment; uses AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) as a natural part of daily workflow

• Exposure to fraud, scam, or abuse detection in a marketplace, fintech, or platform context preferred
• Understanding of common fraud typologies: account manipulation, fake listings, social engineering, payment fraud
• Familiarity with rule-based detection systems or risk scoring frameworks

• Genuinely curious about fraud and adversarial behavior — not just processing tickets, but interested in how scammers operate
• Proactive: identifies problems and proposes solutions without waiting to be told
• Effective communicator with both technical (engineers, data scientists) and non-technical (operations, leadership) stakeholders
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration in an early-stage fraud tooling environment
