About the Role

This is an operator and leader role. You’ll set strategy, run day-to-day risk and fraud operations, and build the systems and processes that scale with our portfolio. You’ll work cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, Engineering, and Customer Experience to protect Quilt and our merchants — without becoming a speed bump in the sales motion.

What You'll Own

Lead merchant underwriting operations end-to-end — credit review, risk decisioning, exposure monitoring, and policy management

Manage fraud detection and prevention across the merchant portfolio, including chargeback management, dispute resolution, and loss mitigation

Maintain credit exposure within defined thresholds while optimizing merchant approval rates and minimizing unnecessary friction

Build and refine risk scoring models, underwriting frameworks, and fraud rule logic; champion automation wherever it reduces manual review without compromising controls

Develop and track KPIs across underwriting decisioning quality, fraud losses, chargeback rates, and portfolio health

Partner with Sales and Account Management to support merchant onboarding, escalations, and exception handling — acting as a collaborative resource, not a gatekeeper

Lead, develop, and grow a team of risk analysts and fraud operations specialists

Manage relationships with processors, card networks, and third-party risk vendors

Stay ahead of evolving fraud vectors, card network rules, and regulatory requirements relevant to PayFac operations

What you bring

8–10+ years in payments risk, fraud, or underwriting — ideally in a PayFac, ISO, or acquiring environment

Strong analytical and data skills; comfortable building models, querying data, and driving decisions from numbers

Proven track record balancing risk discipline with business velocity in a high-growth setting

Hands-on operator instincts — you don’t just design processes, you run them

Experience building and deploying risk automation tools and fraud ML models

Track record building and leading high-performing risk operations teams

Deep familiarity with chargeback management, dispute workflows, and card network rules (Visa, Mastercard)

Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate risk concepts for non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

Direct PayFac experience — familiarity with sponsor bank relationships, sub-merchant liability, and PayFac-specific regulatory obligations

Experience with Stripe, or Adyen as processing platforms

Background in specialty retail verticals (dive, pet, outdoor, liquor, etc.)

What we Offer

Opportunity to build software that powers real-world commerce at scale.
Competitive salary and equity package.
Comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k, etc.).
Strong emphasis on engineering quality and career growth.

Salary: 160-180k Base + Bonus
Location: Remote, based in the United States
