ABOUT THE ROLE

🛡️ Do you have hands-on experience with fraud monitoring or payment incident handling and want to deepen your impact in a high-growth fintech environment?

🚀 As we expand across Europe and prepare for the US launch, we’re building a new Fraud Operations Team and looking for a Fraud Operations Specialist (m/f/d) to support real-time monitoring, fraud detection, and critical incident response across our card and payment operations.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Transaction Monitoring & Alert Handling

Monitor live card transactions and payment flows, focusing on unusual patterns and automated alerts related to fraud (e.g. brute force, card testing, phishing attempts).

Validate and triage alerts independently, escalate where needed, and follow internal playbooks.

Work with fraud and engineering teams to continuously improve alert accuracy and detection logic.

Incident Support & Root Cause Analysis

Participate in managing fraud- or system-related incidents — investigate, coordinate internal communication, and document the process.

Contribute to root cause analysis (RCA) and post-incident reviews for continuous improvement.

Data-Driven Insights

Use SQL and basic Python to extract and analyze data related to transaction anomalies, false positives, or recurring issues.

Support in identifying emerging fraud trends or vulnerabilities in payment flows.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Work closely with Engineering, Compliance, and Customer Relations teams during live escalations.

Help refine monitoring dashboards and internal documentation to make processes more robust and scalable.

Contribute ideas for process automation and fraud model enhancements.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

2–3 years of experience in fintech, payments operations, fraud monitoring, or a related support function.

Solid understanding of card payment flows, fraud scenarios (e.g., card testing, phishing, credential stuffing), and payment APIs.

Hands-on experience with SQL and basic use of Python (e.g. data cleanup, automation scripts).

Familiarity with alerting or monitoring tools and experience with incident response workflows and using ticketing systems.

Strong attention to detail, ability to work independently under pressure, and comfort handling live production environments.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Willingness to work on a fixed shift that includes weekend rotations.

WHAT WE OFFER

The opportunity to work in a growing team with big responsibilities that thrives on a strong exchange of knowledge and excellence

Attractive remuneration and benefits package
