• Design and implement fraud detection and prevention systems using a combination of rule‑based logic, analytics, and AI/ML‑based models
• Evaluate, deploy, and manage fraud tools and technologies, including those that leverage artificial intelligence and behavioral analytics
• Monitor fraud KPIs and loss trends, conduct root cause analysis, and drive data‑informed policy changes and model calibrations
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and Operations to implement scalable, compliant, and customer‑centric risk solutions
• Engage with external vendors, fraud platforms, and industry forums to ensure Mogo remains ahead of emerging fraud vectors – including ATO, synthetic identity, and deepfake‑driven schemes
• Contribute to incident response and case investigations in partnership with fraud ops or compliance teams when escalations arise

What You’ll Bring

• 5–7+ years of experience in fraud risk strategy, fraud analytics, or fraud operations
• Strong grasp of fraud typologies and trends, including synthetic ID, ATO, deepfakes, and digital onboarding fraud
• Proven experience with fraud tools, platforms, and technologies – especially those involving AI/ML, device intelligence, and behavioral biometrics
• Proficient in SQL and Python (or similar tools) to conduct exploratory data analysis, build dashboards, and support model logic
• Background in fintech, digital banking, or financial services preferred
• Critical thinker with a strong bias for action, capable of operating in fast‑paced and ambiguous environments
• Excellent communicator with the ability to influence across technical and non‑technical teams

Benefits of working with us

• ALWAYS FULLY REMOTE WORK – Enjoy the flexibility of remote work, supported by necessary resources
