Risk Strategist at whatnot

This role is ideal for a mid-level professional with a background in fraud prevention, trust and safety, or risk analytics. You should be comfortable moving between high-level data strategy and hands-on investigation, with enough technical savvy to work alongside engineering teams to build automated detection tools. If you enjoy the "cat and mouse" game of thwarting bad actors in a fast-paced marketplace, this is a prime opportunity. The compensation is highly competitive ($140k–$210k plus equity), and the benefits package is standout, featuring a 4% 401k match, 16 weeks of parental leave, and a unique "dogfooding" budget to shop on the platform. While the team is "remote co-located," you must live within commuting distance of their hubs in SF, LA, NYC, or Seattle for in-person collaboration. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience writing and iterating on rules/logic to detect fraud at scale. * Are data-driven and can statistically quantify the impact of risk vs. business growth. * Thrive in a high-growth startup environment where you need to build processes from scratch. * Are based in (or willing to relocate to) one of the four required US metro hubs.
