Description

🛡️ 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.

This is a hybrid role based in BerlinTransaction 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
