Risk Control Principal Product Specialist
Product · Full-time
Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates
About Us
- Risk Mechanism & Product Design
- Own the roadmap for fiat and payment risk control systems, including transaction monitoring and fraud detection
- Design and iterate on core mechanisms such as rule engines, decision flows, risk tiering, holds and releases, and automated interdiction
- Define the logic behind risk parameters (limits, velocity thresholds, triggers, escalation paths) and balance risk coverage against user friction
- High-Frequency Transaction Risk
- Design controls that operate under high concurrency and strict latency requirements across fiat on/off-ramp, card acquiring, card issuing, and payment transaction risk control
- Work with Engineering on real-time data pipelines, rule execution performance, fallback and degradation strategies, and stability under peak load
- Detect and close gaps around abnormal patterns such as velocity abuse, account takeover, card fraud, chargebacks, mule accounts, and structuring
- AI-Powered Risk Control Capabilities
- Use AI to improve user conversion rates and reduce blockers in risk control flows
- Optimize risk-related communications delivered to customers during transactions
- Use AI to proactively guide users through document submission and identity verification, helping them resolve account restrictions or blocks imposed by risk controls
- Requirement Analysis & Product Planning
- Explore risk control requirements across business scenarios; combine industry trends and company strategy to set long-term plans and short-term iteration goals
- Produce high-quality PRDs that define functionality, performance, security, and other standards
- Delivery & Cross-functional Collaboration
- Lead prototype design and implementation; coordinate Technology, Data, Compliance, and Operations to deliver on time and at quality
- Communicate the value and usage guidelines of risk products, answer questions, and ensure risk strategies are implemented effectively across business lines
- Translate AML requirements into product capabilities, including transaction monitoring scenarios, sanctions and watchlist screening, and suspicious activity workflows
- Support audit and regulatory inquiries with clear documentation of risk logic
- Data Analysis & Optimization
- Continuously monitor product data and evaluate the effectiveness of risk strategies and product features
- Define metrics (false positive rate, interception rate, fraud loss rate, case handling time, decision latency) and drive data-based iteration
- Run back-testing and A/B validation before rule or model rollout
- Build feedback loops between case management, operations, and strategy tuning; support incident handling, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews
- Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, Engineering, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in risk control product design, with familiarity with the risk control processes of at least one field such as payments, credit, or e-commerce; experience in high-volume transaction environments strongly preferred
- Has led complete risk control product design and launch projects
- Hands-on experience in risk strategy formulation, model building, and rule engine design
- Solid understanding of fraud and AML mechanisms: rule engines, risk scoring, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and real-time decisioning
- Familiarity with fiat payment flows, including card schemes (Visa/Mastercard), bank transfers, chargebacks, and payment fraud typologies
- Familiar with risk control technologies and tools (risk models, anti-fraud systems, decision engines) and the application of machine learning in risk control
- Strong data analysis skills: SQL and Python for data extraction, analysis, and visualization
- Able to discuss system design (latency, throughput, data consistency) credibly with engineers
- Familiar with financial regulations and regulatory policies, with a strong sense of compliance
- Strong logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills; able to drive alignment with Compliance and Operations
- Rigorous and responsible, with strong stress resistance in high-pressure environments
- Fluent English; Mandarin is a plus
- Experience at a crypto exchange, bank, payment company, or fintech
- AI knowledge is a plus for this role
