We’re building the universal payment layer to unify all currencies—fiat and crypto—so businesses and consumers can transact seamlessly. If you're passionate about creating innovative solutions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, we want to talk to you.

We’re hiring a Senior Risk Data Analyst to build and scale Breeze’s risk analytics function from the ground up. This is a founding role — you’ll help shape our data infrastructure, define metrics, and drive the insights that power our fraud prevention and merchant risk strategies.

What You’ll Do
  • Develop and track metrics to measure and monitor the performance of our risk products and strategies.
  • Conduct in-depth analyses to uncover insights that reduce fraud and increase approval rates for our merchants.
  • Partner directly with clients, translating complex data insights into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Build and experiment with machine learning models to identify fraudulent patterns and enhance detection capabilities.
  • Work closely with engineers to ensure proper data instrumentation and high-quality data pipelines.
  • Design and automate self-serve dashboards using BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Sigma, Metabase).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Business teams to translate requirements into data-driven solutions.
  • Support the implementation and optimization of risk mitigation systems aligned with business goals.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in data-focused roles such as product analytics, business analytics, or data science.
  • Strong technical background with hands-on experience in SQL and Python.
  • Proven experience in the Fraud/Risk domain, ideally within fintech, payments, or financial services.
  • Expertise with BI tools such as Tableau, Sigma, or Metabase.
  • Exposure to machine learning applications for business use cases (e.g., fraud detection, risk modeling).
  • Ability to perform structured analysis (EDA, cohort analysis, etc.) and communicate insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong grasp of performance metrics, experimentation, and data storytelling.
  • A creative problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys the pace of a startup environment.
  • Must be okay working hybrid in either NYC or SF. 
Why Join Us
  • Competitive salary + equity plan
  • 21 days PTO
  • Flexible benefits: annual medical allowance, productivity allowance, gym membership/personal well-being subsidy
  • Annual team retreat trip
  • Work alongside a world-class team backed by Sequoia Capital with a healthy runway
Our Culture
  • Fast-paced and dynamic – We adapt quickly to capture opportunities.
  • Builder’s mindset – We value initiative, creativity, and ownership.
  • Collaborative – Product, data, and operations work as one team.
  • Continuous learning – We share expertise and push boundaries.
