About the Client

Our client is building a next-generation consumer finance platform for emerging markets in collaboration with major global distribution partners. The product is a unified virtual banking and cryptocurrency wallet designed to enable seamless, secure financial transactions across borders.

Why This Matters

Stablecoins are rapidly transforming cross-border payments, creating a rare opportunity to re-architect financial infrastructure for the nearly 3 billion people who lack access to efficient, affordable financial services.

Team and Culture

The company operates as a small, senior-only engineering team focused on speed, quality, and ownership. It is well-funded, based in San Francisco, and led by experienced founders with multiple successful exits. Every hire has direct influence on product direction and delivers immediate, real-world impact on global financial inclusion.

The Role

This is a foundational, hands-on role for someone who is excited to build fraud capabilities from the ground up. You will have meaningful influence over product decisions, vendor selection, and operating processes from day zero. The scope of work will evolve over time.

Early stage:

Partner with product and engineering teams to define fraud strategy, risk appetite, and core controls.

Pre-launch:

Help design and implement fraud prevention mechanisms directly into the product, workflows, and vendor stack.

Post-launch:

Own day-to-day fraud monitoring, investigation, and optimization as transaction volume scales.

  • Define rules, alerts, and escalation logic
  • Balance fraud controls with user experience
  • Help design internal workflows for:
    • Transaction reviews and investigations
