About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About the team
Abuse Operations is the front-line incident response and remediation function handling active product abuse and fraud impacting Stripe and its merchants. This multi-disciplinary group, spanning Incident Managers, Investigators, Forward Deployed Security Engineers, and Data Scientists, neutralizes active attacks, gathers requirements for operational tooling, and leads incidents. The team works directly with impacted merchants to resolve technical incidents and policy abuse rapidly. Operating primarily across Eastern, Pacific and Western European time zones, these team members regularly coordinate with global stakeholders across the world.
What you’ll do
You'll play a critical role in safeguarding our financial ecosystem by investigating high-risk accounts and identifying complex patterns of fraud during incidents. You will lead incident response for product abuse and fraud events, conducting deep-dive analyses to identify root causes. By collaborating cross-functionally, you will drive improvements that enhance our fraud detection and prevention strategies at scale. Your expertise will be essential in automating response processes through agentic approaches, allowing us to safeguard merchants and neutralize threats with speed and precision.
Responsibilities
- Investigate, mitigate, and remediate urgent fraud incidents (e.g., ATO, card testing), utilizing FT3-mapped detection and signals enrichment to reduce uncertainty and accelerate response.
- As part of incidents, analyze high-risk accounts to identify fraudulent merchants, card testing, account takeovers, and other fraud vectors, classifying them using FT3 (Fraud Taxonomy 3.0) to standardize threat intelligence.
- Lead incident root cause analyses to identify gaps in current systems and strategies, leveraging the FT3 framework, data-driven model to drive enhancements and process improvements for emerging fraud risks.
- Streamline incident response capabilities, ensuring the tooling and processes are clear, accurate and efficient
- Work cross-functionally with security, fraud and data science teams to build agentic solutions for responding to abuse incidents at scale
- Effectively communicate cross-functionally with legal and policy teams to assess and mitigate risks, while demonstrating strong problem-solving under pressure.
- Collaborate effectively with teammates, leading projects, mentoring others, and developing and championing quality standards within the team
