About the role
This is an opportunity to help build out the fraud and risk function at one of the fastest-growing prediction markets in the country. You'll investigate multi-accounting, bonus abuse, and suspicious betting patterns — digging into the data, piecing together what's actually going on, and making the call on how to handle it. Every case sharpens the systems that keep the exchange fair and protect real users.
What they're looking for

- You care about marketplace integrity. Protecting users and ensuring a fair, trustworthy exchange genuinely motivates you
