Risk Data Analyst

We’re Melio, a TLV-based startup on a mission to keep small businesses in business. Our online payment solution enables small businesses in the US to pay their bills in more efficient ways that improve their finances and free them up to focus more on managing the business they love.

Backed by top-tier VCs, we have a unique approach to small business payments and aim to make B2B payments as simple and easy as peer-to-peer payment apps. We’re growing fast and looking for enthusiastic team players.

As a Risk Data Analyst you’d be joining the team working behind the scenes to protect Melio from bad actors; using advanced methods and tools to analyze data, implementing new data sources, investigating users behaviour and improving Melio’s risk decision system. This includes not only ‘classic fraud’, but also compliance and anti-money laundering initiatives.

Our ideal candidate?

You are fascinated by the world of fraud and payments. Always thinking of potential vulnerabilities, you are able to think big picture even while handling a live payment in the day-to-day. You know the limitations of both manual review and automatic decision logic and understand the challenges at the intersection of automation and manual insights. You are a self learner who is always looking to tackle new domains. You’re here to problem-solve rather than criticize existing conditions, and you’re always looking for better ways to do things. 

Most importantly, you’re a top-notch team player, proactive, positive and fun to be around.

If you’re still nodding your head in agreement and this seems like a good fit, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re looking for you!
