Fraud Analytics Specialist

BettingJobs is working with a well established iGaming operator seeking to expand their remote based team with a proactive Fraud Analytics Specialist.

This role is fully remote from within Canada only.

As part of the Fraud BI team , your mission is to ensure that our defense systems are smarter, faster, and more data-driven than the threats that may be faced. You are the analytical engine that powers our Fraud Operations. You don’t just wait for fraud to happen; you hunt for the subtle patterns, technical anomalies, and behavioral clusters that signal risk.

Key Responsibilities:

Detection Logic & Behavioral Profiling

• Gameplay Intelligence: Perform granular deep-dives into Live Casino and Sportsbook datasets to detect sophisticated advantage play, collusion, and betting syndicates by identifying sequences that defy standard mathematical probability.
• Behavioral Social Clusters: Engineer complex SQL logic to detect \"linked\" activity through deep behavioral markers, tracking synchronized bet timing, identical stake-step patterns, and coordinated game-hopping across seemingly unrelated accounts.
• Tactical Detection Prototypes: Design and iterate on technical \"red-flag\" triggers for specific gameplay exploits (e.g., hedge betting, chip dumping, or professionalized botting), surfacing high-conviction cases for the Ops team to investigate immediately.

Operational Enablement (BI x Fraud Ops)

• Collaborate with Fraud Ops to understand their pain points and provide analytical support that speed up investigation times.
• Develop the automated logic for safeguards, using gameplay-based milestones to trigger immediate protective actions.
• Conduct post-mortem analyses on major fraud incidents to identify gaps in our current data coverage.

Data Engineering Collaboration

• Work with Analytics Engineers to ensure that critical fraud signals are accurately modeled in our data warehouse.
• Define requirements for new fraud-related data sources and ensure data quality/integrity for all risk-related KPIs.

Monitoring & Alerting

• Own part of the lifecycle of a fraud alert: from initial hypothesis and SQL prototyping to production monitoring and false-positive tuning.
• Monitor on the \"Health of the Shield\"—tracking detection rates, false-positive ratios, and the time-to-action for the Ops team.

Must-Haves

• 3+ years of experience in Analytics: in iGaming, Payments, or Crypto.
• Advanced SQL (BigQuery/Snowflake): Expert ability to model complex gameplay sequences and behavioral signatures to uncover hidden fraud patterns.
• Analysis Recognition: A proven track record of identifying clusters or anomalies within large, messy datasets.
• Operational Mindset: You understand that a data insight is only useful if a Fraud Agent can actually use it to make a decision in seconds.
• Technical Curiosity: You want to know how the \"engine\" works—how data flows from the site to the warehouse and where it can be manipulated.
