About The Role

As an AI Fraud and Risk Automation Analyst working with the eCommerce team, you will be on the front lines of protecting CrowdStrike's intellectual property and preventing our cutting-edge security products from falling into adversarial hands. You'll join a world-class team of risk experts where you will develop the tools, leverage AI-powered analytics, and build the investigative expertise needed to stay ahead of some of the most sophisticated threat actors in the world.

This role combines data science, threat intelligence, and cybersecurity expertise to create a dynamic risk detection system. You'll work with large-scale datasets in Snowflake, develop AI-assisted detection models, and build automated workflows that identify fraudulent activity before it impacts the business.

What You’ll Do

Risk Detection & Analysis

• Parse and analyze large volumes of transactional and behavioral data to identify indicators of fraud and risk
• Develop and maintain a rules-based risk engine that adapts to emerging threat patterns
• Conduct ad hoc investigations on suspicious activity and emerging risk scenarios
• Serve as the subject matter expert on fraud patterns, adversarial tactics, and risk mitigation strategies

Data Engineering & Analytics

• Design, build, and maintain Snowflake tables, views, and data pipelines to support risk detection workflows
• Write SQL queries to extract, transform, and analyze risk-related data at scale
• Create and optimize data models that enable real-time and batch risk scoring
• Develop Python scripts to automate data collection, analysis, and reporting processes

AI & Machine Learning Integration

• Leverage AI tools (including LLMs) to enhance fraud detection capabilities and generate risk insights
• Collaborate with data science teams to implement machine learning models for anomaly detection
• Use AI-assisted analysis to identify patterns in unstructured data (emails, user behavior, device fingerprints)
• Continuously refine AI-powered detection rules based on feedback and emerging threats

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

• Effectively communicate risk findings to technical and non-technical audiences across the organization
• Document risk assessments, investigation findings, and rule changes in a clear, actionable manner
• Work collaboratively with eCommerce, Sales, Legal, and Security teams to improve CrowdStrike's overall risk posture
• Serve as the risk liaison for the eCommerce team, providing expertise and guidance on fraud prevention

Incident Response & Monitoring

• Monitor the risk engine and Slack channels for real-time alerts and triage incidents as they unfold
• Diagnose and respond to risk engine failures, false positives, and system anomalies
• Review daily risk metrics and dashboards to identify trends and areas for improvement
• Proactively identify vulnerabilities in the customer onboarding process and recommend mitigations

What You’ll Need

• 6+ months of experience managing a risk engine or fraud detection system in an eCommerce or SaaS environment with a demonstrable track record of using rules-based approaches to prevent unauthorized access
• Strong SQL skills with experience querying and managing data in Snowflake or similar cloud data warehouses
• Proficiency in Python for data analysis, automation, and scripting
• Cybersecurity knowledge: Strong understanding of adversarial tactics, fraud vectors, and threat intelligence
• Analytical mindset: Ability to think like an adversary, identify patterns in complex datasets, and make data-driven decisions under pressure
• Communication skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate technical findings into business recommendations
• Self-starter mentality: Proven ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Bonus Points

• Experience with AI/LLM tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) for data analysis, threat intelligence, or automation
• Familiarity with machine learning concepts and anomaly detection techniques
• Experience building and maintaining Snowflake data models, including tables, views, and stored procedures
• Knowledge of eCommerce fraud vectors such as account takeover, payment fraud, trial abuse, and bot attacks
• Understanding of the SaaS business model and cloud-based platform sales
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, or similar)
• Familiarity with IPQS, Stripe, or other fraud detection APIs
• Background in threat intelligence, incident response, or SOC operations

A Typical Day

• Morning: Review overnight risk metrics, investigate flagged accounts, and triage alerts from the risk engine
• Midday: Write and refine SQL queries to analyze emerging fraud patterns; update Snowflake views to support new detection rules
• Afternoon: Collaborate with stakeholders on ad hoc risk analyses; use AI tools to summarize findings and generate reports
• Ongoing: Monitor Slack channels for real-time risk events; respond to incidents and adjust rules as needed
• End of Day: Document findings, update risk dashboards, and prepare recommendations for rule improvements
