The role
We are seeking a mid-level Acquiring Fraud Investigator to join our Second Line of Defence within the Financial Crime Risk Management team. This is a full-time, remote position that focuses on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating acquiring fraud risks. You will report to the Fraud Risk Manager and play a vital role in balancing robust fraud protection with a seamless experience for our customers.
Core responsibilities
- Analyze internal data and external industry trends to identify emerging fraud risks, such as merchant abuse, friendly fraud, and transaction laundering.
- Translate complex fraud patterns into actionable scenarios and maintain our Acquiring Fraud Typology Library to ensure alignment with scheme rules and our risk appetite.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and machine learning teams to design, test, and tune fraud controls while providing independent oversight of first-line risk decisions.
Skills and experience
- Two to four years of experience in fraud risk, payments, or card fraud within a fintech, payment service provider, or financial institution.
- Strong understanding of the payments ecosystem, card scheme rules, and chargeback mechanics.
- Proven ability to work with fraud rules and machine learning controls throughout the development lifecycle.
- Proficiency in analyzing large datasets, with a strong preference for experience using SQL and BI tools.
- Full working proficiency in English.
- A proactive, analytical mindset with the ability to act as a risk partner who finds pragmatic solutions rather than simply blocking processes.

We offer a supportive and flexible environment designed to help you thrive both personally and professionally. Benefits include:
- Participation in our Stock Options Program for all team members.
- Full remote work flexibility, allowing you to work from anywhere.
- Access to our unique Work and Swim program, which offers a month-long stay in a corporate apartment in Cyprus.
- A modern, inclusive, and eco-conscious corporate culture that prioritizes your well-being.
