## About the role

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.

## What they're looking for

- Own high-scale fraud detection and mitigation, payments operations, and risk assessment within your assigned area end-to-end — from strategy through execution and post-launch measurement
- Lead high complexity fraud investigations, perform root cause analyses, and translate findings into concrete proposals for rule improvements and cross-functional action
- Write SQL queries to analyze fraud and payments data, and build reporting and monitoring dashboards and alerts (e.g., Mode, Datadog) that track performance and inform decision-making
- Program manage cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Legal, Payments Strategy, Product, Revenue, and other partners — setting milestones, managing dependencies, and driving delivery
- Contribute to risk assessments for new product launches, identifying fraud exposure early and executing mitigation strategies
- Communicate the business impact of your work to cross-functional stakeholders — pre, during, and post-launch — adjusting level of detail based on audience
