• Experience with processor data (Galileo, i2c, FIS, etc.) and financial operations logic (e.g., ACH, prepaid, transaction coding).
• Strong understanding of fraud/risk controls, AML monitoring, and banking regulations (e.g., UDAAP, Reg E, BSA).
• Ability to work independently, manage complex data pipelines, and deliver business-ready analytics.
• 3+ years of hands-on fraud, AML, or compliance analytics experience.
• Experience with alert tuning, rule-based models, or automated triage workflows.
