• About the role:
• You'll own fraud and abuse detection across our cashback, credit, promo, and referral mechanics — building the monitoring that keeps these programs profitable and safe.

What you'll do:

You'll be the dedicated fraud and abuse analytics owner for loyalty, cashback, credit, and referral programs across Salmon Bank.

You'll work directly with Risk, Product, and business teams — moving from a suspicious pattern to a tested hypothesis, an investigation, and a permanent monitoring rule.

The schemes you catch and the controls you build directly shape how much abuse costs the business, and how fast we close each gap.

What you'll own:

Monitor transactions and customer behavior across cashback, promo, referral, and credit products to catch abuse patterns as they emerge.

Build and maintain SQL/Python-based reports and monitoring across large transactional datasets.

Form and test hypotheses on potential abuse schemes, then investigate flagged cases and assess their financial impact.

Calculate the economics behind each case — potential and actual losses, revenue impact, cost of abuse — to prioritize what gets fixed first.

Work with business and product teams to close the gaps: propose changes to product terms, promo rules, or cashback mechanics.

Turn every closed case into a permanent alert or trigger, and revisit past cases on a regular basis to check whether the pattern has returned.

What makes you a strong fit:

Experience investigating and preventing abuse in banking or financial programs — cashback, credit cards/credit lines, promotions, referral programs, loyalty programs, or quasi-cash/transaction abuse.

You don't need to have covered every category above — what matters is hands-on experience building continuous monitoring, not one-off analysis.

Strong SQL and Python (or equivalent scripting), comfortable working directly with large transactional databases.

A track record of turning a hypothesis into a working monitoring system, not just a one-time report.
