About the Role
We are seeking a Risk Control Analyst to own Account Takeover (ATO) risk strategy end to end. This role works closely with business owners, product, security, and risk engineering to design, deploy, and continuously tune risk controls across login, device, transaction, and account-change surfaces, and to stay ahead of evolving account-takeover attack patterns.
What You’ll Do:
ATO Strategy Design & Deployment
Design and deploy ATO risk control strategies: risk analysis, feature extraction, rule and strategy deployment, and control-flow design
Define step-up and intervention logic — challenge, block, restrain, or add friction — balancing loss prevention against user experience
Design end-to-end control flows across login, device, transaction, and account-change scenarios, including fallback and exception handling
Translate emerging attack patterns and threat intelligence into actionable detection rules and mitigation measures
Detection & Signal Engineering
Build and refine ATO detection pipelines using device, IP, behavioral, and biometric signals
Construct multi-layered defense chains so that a single signal failure does not create a control gap
Specify signal and data requirements to data and engineering teams; validate coverage and data quality in production
Strategy Effectiveness & Optimization
Own strategy performance end to end: define success metrics (detection rate, loss prevented, false-positive rate, challenge pass rate) and track them on an ongoing basis
Run A/B, shadow, or backtest evaluations before and after rollout; quantify impact on both fraud loss and good-user friction
Continuously tune thresholds and logic to reduce false positives without eroding detection coverage
Cross-team Execution
Work with data and engineering teams to productionize rules and models, and to resolve deployment and data issues
Partner with product, security, and compliance teams on end-to-end risk flows, control requirements, and incident response
Lead post-incident reviews on confirmed ATO cases and feed findings back into strategy
Document risk control designs, decision rationale, and review outcomes
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of experience in risk control, fraud prevention, or a related analytical role
Hands-on experience designing and deploying risk rules or strategies in a real-time production environment — not investigation or case handling only
Direct experience in account security, ATO, or identity risk; adjacent fraud-domain experience with clearly transferable detection work is acceptable
Strong analytical skills: ability to extract risk features from data, build detection logic, and measure control effectiveness
Solid understanding of risk control frameworks — rule-based decision systems, scoring models, and layered defense design
Proficiency in SQL and data analysis tools; comfortable working with large datasets
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — able to translate business needs into risk control requirements and drive cross-team execution
Experience using AI tools in day-to-day work, e.g. using AI to analyze risk issues, automate and optimize rules, screen data, or accelerate investigation workflows
Nice to Haves
Experience with device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, or biometric verification signals
Experience working with third-party risk vendors (face verification, device intelligence, fraud scoring)
